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.

Corten Planter
The CARREZ corten steel planter introduces warmth and boldness to gardens with its orange-brown patina, a result of natural rust. Also called weathering steel, it thrives in various weather conditions.
Note! The CARREZ connect is a self-assembly product. You have to assemble this planter yourself.
It comes with a bottom plate. Base plates can be purchased separately
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
- Products should be unpacked immediately upon receipt to release any moisture trapped inside the packaging. If the product is left in its packaging, it may develop uneven rust patches.
- Ensure proper drainage.
- 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
- Fill the bottom of the planter with a layer of gravel (Ø35 mm grading, approx. 10 cm).
- Place a permeable anti-root membrane over the gravel.
- Cover the membrane with soil suitable for your chosen plants.
