Scope & other costs
Corten needs a few months of weather to develop its patina; we can pre-rust planters in the workshop if you want the colour on delivery.

04 / The practical details
Questions about steel planter boxes and garden edging.
Will corten stain the deck or paving?
In the first months of weathering, rust run-off can mark light surfaces. Feet, a drip tray or pre-rusting in the workshop before delivery mostly avoids it.
What thickness do you use?
The material and thickness need to suit the dimensions, soil load and installation. Matt will discuss those requirements and confirm a specification before quoting.
Do the planters have drainage?
Yes, drainage holes as standard, and a raised base or feet so water clears. Planters on decks can have a welded drip tray.
