What is a Corten steel fence?
A Corten steel fence is a garden partition made of Corten steel, a type of steel known for its unique rust layer. This rust layer not only offers protection against further corrosion but also gives the Corten steel fence its characteristic and warm appearance. With its robust and timeless design, a Corten steel fence is a popular choice for modern gardens. Thanks to its long lifespan and low-maintenance nature, this material is an excellent choice both practically and aesthetically.

Frequently asked questions about the Corten steel fence
How durable is a Corten steel fence compared to wood?
A Corten steel fence is significantly more durable than most types of wood. While wood is susceptible to rot, fungi, and insects, Corten steel protects itself by forming a dense oxidation layer. This layer prevents the metal from rusting further. As a result, a steel fence has a lifespan of decades without the need for painting or maintenance work.
Does a Corten steel fence offer sufficient privacy?
Absolutely. Our Corten steel fence panels are available in fully solid versions, making it impossible for neighbors or passersby to look in. For those who wish to maintain a more open and airy feel, there are also panels with artistic perforations or patterns. These allow light and air to pass through, while still creating a clear boundary and a sense of security.
How are the panels of a steel fence mounted?
The installation of a Corten steel fence is relatively simple. The panels are usually placed between special Corten steel posts or hardwood uprights. Thanks to the folded edges on the sides of the panels, they can be securely screwed in place. It is important to ensure proper anchoring in the ground, for example with concrete mortar, to withstand wind load.
Does the fence get very hot in full sun?
Like any metal, Corten steel can also absorb heat if the sun shines directly on it. However, due to the thickness of the material and the natural airflow in the garden, the fence also cools down quickly again. For plants growing directly against the fence, it is advisable to choose heat-resistant species or to leave a small gap for optimal ventilation.
Can I accelerate the rust formation on my new fence?
Upon delivery, the steel may still have a metallic grey color. The natural oxidation process usually takes a few months. Do you want faster results? Then you can treat the fence panels with a special rust accelerator. With this, you often achieve the desired warm orange-brown color within just a few days, without affecting the quality of the steel.
Is a Corten steel fence resistant to strong winds?
Yes, provided the construction is installed correctly. Steel is heavier and stiffer than wood, which makes it extremely robust. The panels are designed to deform little to not at all. By setting the posts deep enough into the ground and securing them with concrete, you create a stable wall that can effortlessly withstand heavy storms.
