What is Corten Steel?

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.

Advantages

  • 5-year guarantee.
  • Corten steel planters are very robust, hard-wearing, weatherproof, low-maintenance and durable.
  • The planter has hidden feet (17 mm) and drainage holes, which allows it to float a little above the ground and provides optimal drainage.
  • 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 planter and stops the rust on corten steel flaking off.

Important Info

  • Products are delivered un-rusted
  • 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 an overflow pipe; no excess water should remain in the corten steel planter. This can cause the metal to corrode due to the interaction of oxygen and soil.
  • Do not use hydro pellets: they retain moisture.
  • We do not recommend using corten steel within 2 km of a coastline.
  • The guarantee expires if you drill or grind in a way that is not specified.
  • The weathering process may cause rust run-off.

Planting Advice

  • Cover the bottom of the planter with a layer of gravel (approx. 10 cm, Ø35 mm grading).
  • Place a permeable anti-root membrane over the gravel.
  • Cover the membrane with soil suitable for your chosen plants.
  • Do not use an overflow pipe; no water should remain in the corten steel planter.
