Corten steel lawn edging and garden bed edging - multiple sizes

The choice of thickness/gauge for corten steel lawn edgings depends on the area of application and the desired aesthetics. Here are some guidelines:

• 3 mm corten steel lawn edging:

Suitable for lighter use and less stressed areas. This is often the choice for home gardens. It offers a more subtle and delicate edge. Use this if you desire a more discreet border and do not expect heavy wear or impact. At 3 mm, it can be bent into soft curves for lengths of 298 cm.

• 5 mm corten steel lawn edging:

A compromise between thinness and strength. Well-suited for versatile applications and fits well with most garden and landscaping projects. It offers a balance between elegance and durability.

• 8 mm corten steel lawn edging:

Most commonly used in public areas. This is the thickest option, offering the highest degree of strength and durability. Choose this if you expect heavy traffic, such as pedestrian areas or vehicles driving over the edge. It provides a robust and prominent border.

Corten steel lawn edgings can be used in various contexts, depending on design and function. They are often used in landscape architecture as borders for paths, beds, and gardens, as the patina of corten steel provides a rustic and scenic effect. They can also be used as edges for patios, pool areas, or enclosing plants in garden beds. Additionally, they can create a formal look or guide people through an area. Lawn edgings also help in limiting weed growth and trimming grass in a specific area.

Corten steel, renowned for its robustness against weather elements, offers a unique rust patina that develops into a visually appealing appearance over time. Delivered with a protective oil film, it resists initial rusting upon delivery. A simple wash with soapy water after installation removes this film and initiates the rusting process, which can be accelerated with a saltwater spray for faster results.

Ideal for planters and raised beds, corten steel presents itself as a corrosion-resistant choice, aesthetically enhanced when exposed to natural elements. Its ability to change color adds a dynamic and natural charm to outdoor environments, creating a striking contrast and a unique expression in your garden.

Corten steel from byJEMA is characterized by its exceptional durability. Made from high-quality materials, it is designed to withstand the changing Danish climate and maintain its integrity for decades. With durability up to eight times longer than ordinary steel, corten steel is an investment in both longevity and aesthetics. Although it may transfer a bit of rust initially, its impact is minimal compared to regular steel.

The lifespan of corten steel is significantly influenced by the surrounding environment. Under optimal conditions, it can last over 50 years, while exposure to saline environments may reduce this duration. Its unique design and material quality make corten steel an attractive, long-lasting addition to any garden area.
