I. What Is Corten Steel?
Corten steel, also known as “weathering steel,” is a material known for its unique appearance and long-lasting durability. When exposed to the elements, it forms a protective layer of rust that acts as a sturdy shield to prevent further corrosion of the steel inside, making it ideal for outdoor use. It is this excellent weather resistance that makes Corten steel products so popular in garden design. In gardens, Corten steel is used to create a wide range of features such as cube planters, trough planters and raised beds. Over time, Corten steel will age naturally, revealing a unique texture and flavor. A Corten steel planter not only makes a striking focal point in the garden, but is also a practical choice for sustainable gardening.
Corten steel planters are durable beyond belief. When Corten steel comes into contact with moisture in the surrounding air, it naturally forms a protective layer, which allows these planters to last through the years without breaking down. It is not an exaggeration to say that metal planter boxes will last for many years. Although the outer layer of Corten steel may look like rust, this layer acts as a barrier against further corrosion, making it one of the most corrosion-resistant materials on the market. The more durable the planters are, the less we need to worry about damaging them or requiring frequent maintenance when gardening. You can replace the plants as often as you like and work deeply with the plant roots without worrying about weakening the performance of this powerful material. For those who like to move the position of their planters around a lot, there is also absolutely no need to have concerns. Outdoor CORTEN steel planters can withstand almost anything and are able to withstand the changeable British weather year after year, and perform just as well in a variety of climates elsewhere.
