Shipping & returns
Tracked delivery anywhere in Ireland. It is free on orders of €100 or more, and a flat €25 below that. Allow 5 to 7 days, after a 24 to 48 hour handling time.
You have 15 days from delivery to change your mind, one day more than the 14 day right to cancel that Irish and EU law gives you on an online order. Send them back with proof of purchase, in their original packaging where you can, at your cost. Nothing is deducted for handling. You cover the cost of returning it unless the item is faulty.
If it arrives faulty, damaged or not as described, we put it right at no cost to you, return postage included. That right comes from the Consumer Rights Act 2022, not from this policy.
Nothing. The patina forms and then stabilises on its own. Do not paint or seal it, which prevents the weathering that protects the steel underneath.

About this product
Steel that rusts on purpose, and then stops.
High grade corten supplied already weathered, in interlocking 1075 mm sections. The finish designers ask for by name.
Corten is the edging people have usually seen somewhere and then come looking for.
It is weathering steel, A606-4, an alloy formulated so the first layer of rust is dense and tightly bonded. Once it has formed it slows further corrosion instead of accelerating it the way ordinary rust does on mild steel.
That is why it never needs painting or sealing, and why the finish is the product rather than a coating on top of it.
Ours is supplied already weathered, so it looks right the day it goes in rather than after a winter of raw grey steel.
Same 1.5 mm gauge and 1075 mm interlocking sections as the black steel range.
Weathering steel was developed to remove the need for painting structural steel. The alloy is mixed so that the surface oxide is dense and tightly bonded, and once that layer has formed it slows further corrosion rather than flaking off and exposing fresh metal underneath.
In a garden that means edging you install and then genuinely forget about. Nothing to paint, nothing to seal, nothing to service.
The look is why most people buy it. Orange brown against green planting reads as deliberate in a way a black or a bright edge does not, and it gets more convincing as the beds fill in around it.
Two things worth knowing before you order. While the patina is still forming, run off can stain pale paving, render or decking sitting directly below the edging, so think about what is underneath it. And the finish is not uniform: variation between sections is normal and is part of the material rather than a fault.
At 1.5 mm it takes a gentle curve well and a tight one badly. For a circle around a tree, work in a wider radius than you would with the plastic kit.
Still deciding?
Not sure yet? That is fine.

A weathering steel alloy, A606-4, formulated so the surface rust forms a dense tightly bonded layer that slows further corrosion instead of flaking away.
Does it arrive already rusted?
Yes. It is supplied ready weathered, so it looks right the day it goes in rather than after a winter of raw grey steel.
Will it keep rusting away?
No. The patina forms and then stabilises. That is the whole point of the alloy.
Will it stain my paving?
It can, while the patina is still forming. Run off from weathering steel marks pale paving, render and decking, so think about what sits directly below the edging. If that is a concern, the stainless range does not weather at all.
What face height is it?
100 mm.
How long are the sections?
1075 mm, which lay one metre once you allow the 75 mm interlock overlap. So one section is one metre of finished run.
How thick is it?
1.5 mm gauge, the same as the black steel and three times the stainless.
How many spikes come with it?
Seven 100 mm spikes per section.
Can I bend it round a curve?
A gentle one, yes. At 1.5 mm it is the stiffest edging we sell, so a tight circle is easier in the 0.5 mm stainless or the plastic kit.
Should I paint or seal it?
No. Painting or sealing prevents the weathering that protects the steel underneath, which defeats the material.
Is the colour consistent between sections?
No, and that is normal rather than a fault. Variation across a run is part of how the material looks.
How do I install it?
Lay the run, overlap each section into the next by the interlock tab, then drive the spikes through with a rubber mallet. No trench, no concrete.
How does it stop grass runners?
Hammer roughly 30 mm of the edge itself into the ground as well as the spikes. That gives a continuous vertical barrier runners will not cross.
How long will it last?
Weathering steel is specified in architecture precisely because it lasts without maintenance. There is nothing on it to fail and nothing to repaint.
What is the difference between corten and ordinary rusty steel?
Bare cold rolled steel rusts and keeps rusting until it fails. Corten rusts to a protective layer and then effectively stops.
Does it work next to gravel?
Very well. The orange brown against grey gravel and green planting is the combination the material is usually bought for.
How much does a section weigh?
1.6 kg.
Do you cut it to length before shipping?
No. Sections ship whole and you trim if you want a shorter run, so this shop's 15 day change-of-mind policy covers it like anything else here.
How much is delivery?
Standard delivery anywhere in Ireland is €25, and it is free once your order reaches €100. Express Shipping is also offered at checkout for €25, and it is charged on every order, including orders over €100.
How long does delivery take?
Five to seven days, after a 24 to 48 hour handling time while the order is picked and packed.
Do you deliver across the whole of Ireland?
Yes, to any address in Ireland, at the same delivery rates and in the same 5 to 7 days once the order has been handled. We deliver to addresses in Ireland only.
Is there a minimum order?
No. The per metre and per section ranges are sold by the unit, so you can order one metre or one section if that is all you need.
Can I change my mind after it arrives?
Yes. Irish consumer law gives you 14 days from delivery to cancel an online order, and this shop allows 15. Send the goods back with proof of purchase, in their original packaging if you still have it, and return postage is at your cost. Nothing is deducted for handling. Email us with your order number first.
What if the item is faulty or not what was described?
That is a separate right under the Consumer Rights Act 2022, and it does not depend on the 15 days. You can ask for a repair, a replacement or a refund, and we pay the return postage.
Who pays return postage if I simply change my mind?
You do, unless the item is faulty or we sent the wrong thing.
Can I cancel before it ships?
Yes, free of charge. Email us with your order number within 12 hours: orders are handled within 24 to 48 hours. Once an order has shipped it can no longer be cancelled, but you can still return it under the 15 day policy.
How do I track my order?
You get a confirmation email with a tracking number once the order ships. Items in one order can travel in separate parcels.
What payment methods do you take?
Card payment and PayPal, both through a secure checkout. Card details are handled by the payment provider and never reach this site.
What currency are prices in?
Euro (EUR), and that is what your card is charged.
Do you sell to trade or in bulk?
Yes. Use the wholesale quote page with the lengths and quantities you need and we will come back with a price.
