Flexible Corten Steel Edging 40 x 106 cm - Per piece

Looking for a 40 cm tall corten steel edging? With this flexible corten steel edging, 40 x 106 cm, you can create clean edges in your garden. Because Wovar's corten steel edges are flexible, you can also use them for, for example, a winding garden path. We also see more and more people use the garden edging along the edges of the lawn. This is because the border eliminates the need to trim grass edges, resulting in a well-kept, pristine lawn.

This corten steel edging is 106 cm long, 40 cm tall and 1.5 mm thick. The effective length of the garden edging is 100 cm, as the borders overlap and interlock, which takes up approximately 6 cm. The spikes at the bottom are 8 cm long. Added to the height of the actual border, which is 32 cm, the total height of these garden edgings amounts to 40 cm. 

Corten steel lawn edging protects against snails. This is because approximately 1% of corten steel is copper, which oxidises upon contact with snail slime. Snails do not like this and will stay away from the corten steel garden edging.

Make corten steel rust faster

The corten steel is not (completely) corroded upon arrival. It can take several weeks to months for the oxidation process to be completed. To make the garden edging rust faster, you can use the following method:

1. Degrease the corten steel edging with a cleaning agent to remove the wax layer.
2. Dissolve three large tablespoons of salt in 10 litres of warm water.
3. Pour the salt solution liberally over the corten steel with a watering can or plant sprayer.
4. The corten steel starts to turn a beautiful orange within a few days. Instead of salt, you can also use acid, such as vinegar.

We also offer rust accelerator. This rust accelerator gives your new corten steel edging its signature colour within one day. You can find it among the corresponding products. A 0.25 L bottle is enough for 7.5 of these garden borders. Simply apply the rust accelerator with a sponge, and they will be completely oxidised in approximately 10 hours.

How do l install corten steel edging?

The border edges interlock, making it easy to connect the individual pieces to each other. The garden edgings are very flexible and can therefore be placed in a smooth line, as well as sharp corners. You can bend them to a right angle by simply placing a brick, or other heavy and straight material, in the desired spot on the border. After this, you can bend the steel garden edging around the brick and make a right angle. Installation is made even easier with the attached ground spikes. Below, we have outlined 5 steps on how to install corten steel edging.

• Step 1: Determine where you will be using the borders and calculate the number of meters you will need.
• Step 2: Use a spade or garden trowel to dig a trench in the ground where you would like to place the garden edging. You can determine the depth yourself depending on what works best for your project, but we recommend a depth of 8 - 10 cm.
• Step 3: Place the borders in the trench and join them together by bending the clasp of one piece around the other border. 
• Step 4: With a rubber mallet, you can tap the garden edging to drive the spikes into the ground. Use a spirit level to ensure the edging is level. With 6 x 6 cm hardwood stakes, you can reinforce high border edges. If you want to shorten the lawn edging, you can do so with an angle grinder.
• Step 5: Refill the trench with, for example, gravel or soil. Depending on what you are going to use the edging for, you can first lay down a weed membrane or gravel grid.
