Corten Steel York Planter by Adezz

These planters are not only a stunning addition to your garden, but also a very low maintenance option. The helpful fully removeable sidewall enables the planter to be wherever you would like it, as it can simply slide into place. The gorgeous amber hues that the planter also admits are incredibly complimentary to green foliage and bright, beautiful plants. Not only is the planter aesthetically pleasing but Corten Steel is a durable, long-lasting and weather-resistant material. This planter will develop a lovely patina to protect the steel underneath, that will add charm to your garden. The planter also comes in two different sizes, which perfectly compliment each other.

What is Corten Steel?

Created in the United States in 1939, Corten or Weathering Steel is an alloy that forms a natural rust coating over time as it is exposed to the weather. The outer layer rusts forming a protective coating which prevents degradation of the steel inside. Corten Steel is used all over the world. Notably in the UK one of our greatest landmarks, The Angel of the North by Anthony Gormley is made from Corten. Other striking examples include the Chicago Picasso Sculpture and the Museum of Old and New Art in Australia.

How will your Corten Steel weather? 

1. In most cases your Corten Steel product will arrive un-rusted. It may have a slight patina or dark oily residue, this is completely normal.
2. As weathering begins, the residue breaks down and the rusty colour will start to appear. During this time, any run-off may stain stone or concrete surfaces.
3. After weathering (around 6-9 months), run-off may still occur but it will be minimal.

After your corten steel has arrived please unpack immediately, so that any moisture between the packaging does not remain sealed. If you do not do this, there may be irregular rust and stains.

What if you want to speed up the weathering? 

Fortunately science is on your side with a quick and easy fix. All you need is salty water. Dissolve around 1 teaspoon of salt in about 1 litre of water to get a weak salt solution. Spray or paint the solution evenly over your Corten Steel and that’s it! Repeat this process around 5 times over the period of a couple of weeks and you’ll see the rust developing in no time.
