FAQs

What is Corten steel?

Corten steel, also known as weathering steel, is a type of steel that develops a protective rust layer when exposed to the elements, preventing further corrosion.

How do I accelerate the rusting process?

You can accelerate the rusting process by spraying the bed with a mixture of soap water and salt water.

Is the rust harmful?

The rust on the Corten steel is a protective layer. However, avoid contact with the developing rust to prevent staining.

What kind of soil should I use?

Use a good quality potting mix or garden soil suitable for your chosen plants.

How do I clean the raised bed?

Clean the raised bed with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals.

What are the dimensions?

The dimensions are H:18.5 x W:100.0 x D:100.0 cm.

Can I move the raised bed after filling it?

It is heavy when filled. Plan your location carefully before filling it with soil.

Troubleshooting

Rust is not developing.

Spray the surface with a mixture of soap water and salt water to accelerate the rusting process.

Difficulty assembling the bed.

Review the assembly instructions and ensure all panels are correctly aligned before securing them.

Poor drainage.

Ensure the bottom is clear of obstructions and the soil is appropriate for good drainage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and long-lasting Corten steel construction.
  • Naturally resistant to corrosion, reducing maintenance.
  • Unique and attractive rusty appearance.
  • Large capacity for various plants and vegetables.
  • Easy to set up and use.

Cons

  • Requires time for the rust layer to develop.
  • May stain clothing if contact is made with developing rust.
  • Initial appearance is not the final rusty color.
  • Heavy, making relocation challenging once filled.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Assembly: The garden bed arrives unassembled. Simply position the side panels and secure them following the included instructions.
  2. Location: Choose a location with adequate sunlight for your plants. Ensure the ground is level.
  3. Soil: Fill the bed with high-quality potting mix or garden soil suitable for your chosen plants.
  4. Watering: Water plants according to their needs. The open bottom allows for efficient drainage, preventing waterlogging.
  5. Rust Development: Allow the Corten steel to rust naturally, or accelerate the process with a soap and salt water mixture. Avoid contact with the developing rust layer to prevent staining.
  6. Cleaning: Clean the raised bed with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the steel.
