![]() ![]() Q: “What is the material of the feet holding up this planter box made of?”Ī: The riser feet on the planter box is made from Corten steel.The corten steel planters are designed to rust over time and will never completely rust through. Q: “How to protect the metal from erosion?”Ī: A clear coat of urethane can be applied to the planter to prevent from rusting further.Q: “How to prevent the surface from staining?”Ī: It is recommended to use a base with the planter to prevent the surface from staining.In other words, the steel is allowed to rust in order to form the ‘protective’ coating. The layer protecting the surface develops and regenerates continuously when subjected to the influence of the weather. The corrosion-retarding effect of the protective layer is produced by the particular distribution and concentration of alloying elements in it. This is because the steel forms a protective layer on its surface under the influence of the weather. “Weathering” means that due to their chemical compositions, these steels exhibit increased resistance to atmospheric corrosion compared to other steels. ![]() Perfect for creating a beautiful home without hassle. Weathering steel, best-known under the trademark COR-TEN steel and sometimes written without the hyphen as “Corten steel”, is a group of steel alloys which were developed to eliminate the need for painting, and form a stable rust-like appearance if exposed to the weather for several years.
