Corten steel retaining wall

Why choose a corten steel retaining wall?

Corten steel is particularly well suited for retaining walls. Over time, the steel develops a distinctive rust-coloured patina that not only creates a warm and lively appearance, but also acts as a natural protective layer against corrosion.

This means the retaining wall can remain outdoors all year round without the need for painting, coating or other surface treatments. The result is an extremely durable solution with an expected lifespan of several decades – even when exposed to rain, frost and changing weather conditions.

Corten steel retaining walls combine strength and aesthetics and are suitable for both smaller private gardens and larger landscape projects where high demands are placed on stability and finish.

Create structure and level changes in the garden

A retaining wall allows you to actively shape the terrain in your garden. Use it to divide the garden into zones, create level transitions between terrace and garden, or establish raised beds at different heights.

The retaining wall can function as a discreet boundary or as a striking design element that adds character to the outdoor space. The clean, simple design language makes it easy to integrate the retaining wall into both modern, minimalist gardens and more organic landscapes.

Standard sizes and made-to-measure solutions – tailored to your project

We offer retaining walls in both standard sizes and made-to-measure solutions. Standard options suit many projects, but we know that no two gardens are the same.

That is why we also produce corten steel retaining walls made to measure, tailored precisely to your project. Whether you need specific lengths, heights, angles or adaptations to sloping terrain, we can manufacture a solution that fits exactly.

The process is straightforward: you can calculate and order directly using our made-to-measure configurator, or send us your dimensions and requirements and we will advise you on the best solution. With our experience in steel production, we ensure high precision and a result that meets both functional and aesthetic requirements.

Part of a cohesive garden design

Corten steel retaining walls can be combined with our other products in the same material – including raised beds, planters, lawn edging and fire features. This creates a harmonious and cohesive garden design, where materials and lines are repeated throughout the outdoor space.

The retaining wall thus becomes not just a practical solution, but an integrated part of the overall garden design.

At byJEMA, all retaining walls are produced at our own facility in Denmark. We maintain full control over materials, joints and finish, and work according to high quality standards throughout the entire process.
