Each weathering steel planting rack is guaranteed to withstand a variety of elements, especially when compared to wood, plastic, fiberglass and concrete beds. While they may cost more than some materials, they are an excellent investment because they can last longer -- at least decades, although some weathering steels are 100 years old! Over time, plastic seeps into the soil and wood deteriorates. Fiberglass doesn't have the same structural integrity. While wood is usually the preferred bedding material, over time it is currently more expensive than weathering steel because wood degrades more quickly than metal. That's why those buying beautiful planters or growing beds might opt for a weather-resistant steel flower box.
Kits made from weathering steel offset the cost of another large project, assembling a custom wooden planter. No saws, sand or heavy equipment needed. Speaking of assembly, the corten steel drill is easy to put together. Each kit comes equipped with all the metal panels and hardware needed to assemble and incorporate it into your landscape. Simply twist the bed together, add the fill of your choice (soil and soilless planting mix will work), and start planting!
Once you've assembled a weather-resistant steel flower box or beautiful flower pot, look for ways to enhance the appeal of the distinctive colors of corrosion in a modern cityscape or residential home garden. The trellis, made of weather-resistant steel, lends a lovely Western charm to any place that changes with the weather. Casters keep the bed intact as the panels change color, allowing it to last a long time.
A beautiful flowerpot made of weather-resistant steel has commercial appeal and it also fits into a lush outdoor garden space. The erosion of Corten's bed complements the greenery. It has a modern streamlined look, perfect for gardens or dry desert Spaces. Over time, the weather affects the metal, and you can let the plants blend in seamlessly. Because this metal isn't just for a pretty flowerpot, you can use weathering steel for matching work stations, shelving and terraces.
Not only do each beautiful flowerpot and growing bed look great in a unified design, but they also work well with other materials. Wooden benches look great between Corten steel planter boxes. Alternating the use of metal types of beds can bring a sense of unity and a modern appeal that makes any landscape or project pop. Even for those with no aesthetic predilection, modern landscape design can easily use weathering steel. Easy access to your bed is another cost benefit to consider when you're looking for a metal bed, workbench or beautiful flower pot.
While weathering steel is an excellent material for any good planting, the metal is not suitable for all weather patterns and climates. This is another thing to consider when looking for metal garden beds and materials. In areas exposed to salt spray, especially on beaches, weather-resistant steel POTS corrode much faster. It is best to keep weathering steel planters away from industrial areas where metal particles and high heat are present.
Areas that are more likely to rain than dry are also at risk for weathering steel. Areas that tend to be submerged or remain in standing water are also not suitable for metal. This is because the metal performs best in wet and dry cycles; It requires a time interval between drying conditions to ensure the durability of its naturally formed coating. In these environments, gardeners would be wise to find metals that can withstand wet conditions.
If you are not using polyurethane to lock the rust, be aware that a bit of rust may come off your clothes and hands as you work around them. If you can, find clothes that you don't mind getting a little dirty and rusty. Otherwise, look for a clear polyurethane coating that acts as a sealant to keep you rust free in your modern landscape garden.
