FAQs
How long does the rust finish take to develop?
The rust finish typically begins to develop within a few weeks of exposure to the elements and will continue to mature over several months.
Can I use this edging on a slope?
Yes, the flexible nature of the edging allows it to conform to slight slopes. Ensure proper staking to keep it in place.
How do I clean the edging?
Usually, no cleaning is required. If desired, you can use water and a soft brush to remove any dirt or debris.
What kind of stakes should I use?
Use sturdy stakes made of steel or a durable composite material. Ensure the stakes are long enough to provide a secure anchor.
Is the edging sharp?
The edges of the steel can be sharp. Handle with care and wear gloves during installation.
Can I paint the edging?
It is not recommended to paint the corten steel, as the natural rust finish is part of its aesthetic and protective properties.
Troubleshooting
Edging is not staying in place.
Ensure stakes are driven deep enough into the ground. Consider using more stakes, particularly in areas with loose soil or curves.
Rust finish is uneven.
The rust finish develops naturally over time and may initially appear uneven. This is normal and will even out as the edging weathers.
Difficulty cutting the edging to size.
Use metal shears or a similar tool designed for cutting steel. Wear appropriate safety gear, including gloves and eye protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Before installation, measure and mark the desired border lines. Clear the area of any grass, weeds, or debris.
Installation: Unroll the edging along the marked lines. The roll format allows for easy customization to fit your garden's shape. Use a rubber mallet and stakes to secure the edging in place.
Securing: Drive stakes through the pre-drilled holes, or through the edging itself to anchor it firmly into the ground. Ensure the edging is level and straight, or curved as desired.
Compatibility: This edging is compatible with various soil types and garden designs. It's suitable for both residential and commercial landscaping projects.
Care: The corten steel is designed to be low-maintenance. The rust-like finish protects the steel from further corrosion. No specific care is required beyond occasional cleaning if desired. The rust color may transfer to paving if in contact, and can be removed with a wire brush.
