What is Corten Steel?

The orange-brown patina on the metal creates a earthy, warm aesthetic . The colour is the result of a protective layer of rust. Another name for corten steel is weathering steel

Corten steel is a metal alloy made by adding copper, phosphorus, silicon, nickel and chromium to iron. When exposed to air, the material forms a protective layer of rust. This natural coating prevents further corrosion, extending the life of the material.

Our Corten Steel products are delivered in an un-rusted state and the weathering process will take about 4-5 months to complete.

If you simply cannot wait, use our rust accelerator.

Advantages

  • 5-year guarantee.
  • Corten steel planters are very robust, hard-wearing, weatherproof, low-maintenance and durable.
  • The corten steel has a standard thickness of 1,5 or 2 mm. 
  • This product is delivered ready for self-assembly, making it ideal for placement around an established tree or plant.
  • Includes bolts, nuts and assembly instructions.
  • Products are delivered without rust. The corten steel rusting process takes about 4-5 months, depending on weather conditions.
  • The rust can be fixed by applying Owatrol. This is a penetrating rust inhibitor that forms a protective anti-rust coating. Owatrol protects the planter and stops the rust on corten steel flaking off.

Important Information

  • Do not use hydro pellets: they retain moisture.
  • We do not recommend using corten steel within 2 km of a coastline.
  • The weathering process may cause rust run-off.

Planting Advice
