Corten Steel Pond

Corten Steel, also known as weather resistant steel, is a very strong steel alloy. As soon as Corten Steel garden planter is exposed to the elements it will naturally weather and develop a protective layer of rust. This natural coating of rust provides protection against further corrosion. 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 Pond

Tranquil and evocative, our corten steel pond is a wonderful addition to your garden. The pond is suitable for plants and fish, making this water feature a beautifully dynamic garden element. We coat the interior surfaces of our corten steel ponds with polyurea, so the metal will not corrode. Our ponds are equipped with a fixed overflow pipe as standard. They can also be ordered with optional inlet holes drilled on either the short or long side.

Corten steel has an orange-brown colour, the result of a natural rust layer. Another name for corten steel is weathering steel: weather conditions have a positive effect on this material.

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, so the ponds will last for many years.

Advantages

  • 5-year guarantee.
  • The product can be customised.
  • The interior surfaces are coated with black polyurea. This prevents the water in the pond causing corrosion.
  • Corten steel ponds are hard-wearing, weatherproof, low-maintenance and durable.
  • The corten steel has a standard thickness of 3 mm.
  • 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 product 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.
  • We do not recommend using corten steel within 2 km of a coastline.
  • The weathering process may cause rust run-off.
  • The guarantee expires if you drill or grind in a way that is not specified.
  • The water used in this product should have a neutral pH value (7) to protect the look and quality of the material.
  • Clean annually by spraying coarse dirt off the product with tap water.

Winter Advice

  1. Lower the water level to below the overflow pipe. This is about 10 cm. below the rim. Note! The pump must be submerged.
  2. Always remove the plug from the socket in case of frost.
  3. We recommend a frost-free container. This is available from garden centres or DIY stores.
