Side plate set corten steel EDGY. H40 cm - multiple sizes

The steel comes with a small oil film and is therefore not rusted on delivery. We therefore recommend washing with lukewarm soapy water after installation to remove the oil film. Within a few weeks, depending on precipitation, the rusting process will begin. If you are impatient, the process can be accelerated by a wash down followed by a salt water spray.

Corten steel is a unique material suitable for use in planters and raised beds. It is a corrosion-resistant steel that develops a rustic surface when exposed to the elements. This surface protects the steel from further rusting, making it an ideal material for outdoor use.

Does corten steel spread rust on the surface?

Corten steel has minimal corrosion resistance compared to regular steel. However, it will always leave a small amount on the surface at the beginning of the rusting process.

Therefore, when placed on tiles or wood, we recommend a base plate. There are drainage holes in the base plate and the box will be raised approx. 5 mm from the surface to allow water to drain away. On concrete tiles, rust can easily be removed with oxalic acid.

Corten steel lasts up to 8 times longer than regular steel. The climate in which corten steel is used plays a significant role in its durability. In optimal conditions, corten steel in gardens will last over 50 years, while salty air will negatively affect the lifespan.

Does steel damage plants?

You can grow and plant all kinds of vegetables and plants in this planter. Steel is a natural material and will not release toxic substances to your vegetables. If you are still in doubt, we recommend lining the box with a plastic sheet, polystyrene, insulation mat or similar. This will also insulate the soil from the sides of the box and extend its lifespan.

Corten steel is generally not harmful to plants as it is a corrosion-resistant material that does not release harmful chemicals or metals. However, it may be important to check the PH of the soil and add soil conditioners if necessary, as corten steel can tend to lower the PH of the soil.

It's also important to ensure good drainage in planters and raised beds, as Corten steel can rust if it is persistently wet.

It is also recommended to prune plants regularly and ensure good ventilation in the planter boxes and raised beds so that plants are not suffocated by excess moisture.

All in all, corten steel is a great choice for planter boxes and raised beds.
