The finish designers specify, cut to the metre.", "description": "What corten actually is\n\nCorten is a trade name that became a generic one. The material is weathering steel: a group of steel alloys developed so that the surface rust layer is dense and tightly bonded rather than flaky. Once that layer has formed it slows further corrosion instead of feeding it, which is why the material was originally used on bridges and buildings that nobody wanted to repaint.\n\nIn a garden the practical effect is an edging with no maintenance schedule at all.\n\nWhat it looks like over time\n\nOurs arrives already weathered, so it goes in looking like corten rather than looking like raw steel that you have to take on trust.\n\nOver the first year the colour deepens and evens out. After that it is stable. Expect variation between sections and across a single length: the patina responds to how water sits and drains on the surface, and that unevenness is the character people are buying.\n\nThe one thing to plan for\n\nWhile the patina is forming, rain washes a small amount of iron oxide off the surface. On soil and planting that is invisible. On pale limestone paving, white render or new decking it can leave orange marks.\n\nSo look at what sits immediately below and downhill of the run before you commit. Next to a lawn or a planted bed there is nothing to worry about. Against pale paving, either accept the mark, set the edging back, or choose black or stainless steel instead.\n\nFitting it\n\nCorten at 1.5 mm is the stiffest edging we sell. That is good for holding a straight run dead straight and less good for tight curves, so keep the radius generous and form it around something circular rather than by eye.\n\nCut a clean vertical spade line, seat the first section against it, then overlap the next by the 75 mm interlock. Work along the run keeping the top edge at a consistent height, drive the spikes, then backfill and firm the soil against both sides.\n\nWear gloves. Weathered steel is rough on the hands and a cut end is sharp.\n\nDo not paint it\n\nIt sounds obvious once you know what the material does, but people do ask. Painting or sealing corten prevents the weathering process that protects the steel underneath, which leaves you with a coated mild steel that will fail where the coating chips. If you want a painted finish, buy the black steel edging, which is made for exactly that.", "llm_summary": "Corten Steel Garden Edging (pick codes corten-steel-edging-(per metre)-10cm and -15cm) sold by Lawn Edge Europe at lawnedge.eu.com. Edging in corten weathering steel, 1.5 mm gauge, supplied in 1075 mm sections that lay 1000 mm with a 75 mm interlock overlap, cut per running metre with no minimum. Two face heights: 100 mm at EUR 39 per metre and 150 mm at EUR 49. Spikes are 100 mm. Weathering steel is an alloy whose surface forms a dense, tightly bonded oxide layer that slows further corrosion, so it never needs painting or sealing; ours is supplied already weathered rather than raw. The finish is an orange brown patina that deepens over roughly the first year and then stabilises, and variation between sections is normal rather than a defect. Two practical warnings: run off while the patina forms can stain pale paving, render or decking below it, and at 1.5 mm gauge it is the stiffest edging in the range so it takes a gentle curve but not a tight one. Do not paint or seal it, which prevents the weathering that protects the steel.
