About this product
Warm rusted steel. A line that looks like it has always been there.
Corten weathering steel, supplied already rusted, in 100mm or 150mm face heights. Interlocking metre sections, hammered in, sold by the metre.
Corten is the edging landscapers reach for when they want a border that looks settled from day one. The rust is the finish. It forms a stable skin that never needs painting and sits beautifully against green.
We supply it already weathered, so there is no waiting for the colour to come through. Each 1.5mm section covers a metre, interlocks with the next, and hammers in on seven 100mm spikes. Pick a 100mm face for a subtle line or 150mm to hold back a deeper bed.
Corten is the edging you see in show gardens and new builds, because it looks settled from the day it goes in. The rust is the finish. It forms a stable skin that protects the steel and never needs painting.
We supply it already weathered, so there is no waiting for the colour to come through. Each 1.5mm section covers a metre, locks into the next, and hammers in on seven 100mm spikes. No trench.
Pick a 100mm face for a line between lawn and bed, or 150mm when you are holding back a deeper bed of bark or stone. Both bend to follow a curve and hold a straight line when you want one.

Putting a clean, permanent line between lawn and bed, or along a path or driveway, with the warm rusted look of corten. It holds bark and soil in the bed and stops grass runners crossing.
Does the rust keep going?
It settles. Weathering steel forms a stable rust skin that protects the steel underneath, which is why it never needs painting. We supply it already rusted so it looks right from the start.
Which height should I pick?
100mm is the everyday choice for a line between lawn and bed. Go to 150mm if you are holding back a deeper layer of bark or stone, or want more face showing.
What do I get per metre?
One 1075mm section that covers one metre once the 75mm interlock overlaps the next, plus seven 100mm spikes. The 100mm length weighs about 1.6kg, the 150mm about 1.7kg.
How do I install it?
Mark your line, stand the section on it, and drive the spikes in with a rubber mallet. Slot the next section into the overlap and carry on. No digging needed in normal soil.
Can it follow a curve?
Yes. The steel bends to follow a curve or ride over a change in level, and holds a dead straight line if that is what you want.
Can I cut it?
Yes. For a short run, measure what you need and cut with an angle grinder or hacksaw. Wear gloves and eye protection.
How much does it cost?
100mm Face Height (per m): $89; 150mm Face Height (per m): $99 per metre. Delivery is free once your order is $60 or more. Under $60 it is a flat $22.
Are there other sizes or options?
Two face heights, 100mm or 150mm. Pick the height before you add it to your basket and the price updates.
What do the photos show?
The edging in place along beds and lawns so you can judge the colour and the look. Plants, pots and garden props are not included.
Which specs should I check before I buy?
Face height (100mm or 150mm), section coverage (1m with a 75mm overlap), thickness (1.5mm) and the seven spikes per section. If anything is unclear, ask us first.
How do I work out how many metres I need?
Measure the edge and round up to the next metre. The overlap is already allowed for, so one section equals one metre. Add a little for corners, then check your basket before paying.
Can I order more than one metre?
Yes. Set the quantity to the number of metres you need, on this page or in your basket.
Will it suit every garden?
It holds fast in all normal soils. Very rocky ground can stop a spike, so you may need to shift the section slightly or lift a stone out. If you are unsure, send us a photo and your measurements before you order.
How should I prepare the ground?
Mark your line with string, clear weeds and loose stones, and check for shallow pipes or cables before you drive spikes in.
Any safety tips while fitting it?
Wear gloves, since rusted steel marks hands and clothes, plus sturdy footwear. Use a rubber mallet and keep kids and pets clear while you hammer.
What if the ground is hard or stony?
Water the line the day before so the soil is softer, and move the section a few centimetres if a spike hits a rock. Do not force it.
Will it stain my path or pavers?
Rust run-off can mark light-coloured concrete or pavers, especially in the first season. Keep the edging a little back from pale surfaces or accept a bit of patina.
Can I use it as a retaining wall?
No. The 150mm face will hold back a shallow bed of bark or stone, but it is a garden edge, not a retaining wall. It is not load bearing.
Can I check it will suit my garden before I buy?
Yes. Send us the measurements, a photo of the edge and what you have there now, and we will tell you straight which height to go for.
Is the price in New Zealand dollars?
Yes. Every price and checkout total is in NZD.
What does delivery cost?
Free when your goods total after any discount is $60 or more. Under that, delivery is a flat $22.
How long does delivery take?
Allow 24-48 hours for handling, then an estimated 5-7 days in transit. These are estimates, not a promised arrival date.
Can I use the valued-customer code?
Yes. It takes 15% off the goods. Delivery is not discounted, and free delivery is worked out on the discounted goods total.
How do I track my order?
Use the Order Tracking page with the details we send after dispatch. If anything looks stuck, email us with your order reference.
Can I return it if I change my mind?
Yes, within 15 days of receipt, as long as it is unused and in original resaleable condition with proof of purchase. A $59 restocking fee and return postage apply to eligible change-of-mind returns. Your statutory rights are separate.
What if it arrives damaged or wrong?
Email us with your order reference and a couple of photos. The change-of-mind fee does not apply to faulty, damaged or incorrect goods, and your Consumer Guarantees Act rights are unaffected.
Can I cancel before it ships?
Contact us as soon as you can. The voluntary cancellation policy allows requests within 12 hours before shipment and provides for a 12.5% processing fee. Statutory remedies are unaffected.
I have a big project. Can you help?
Yes. Use the wholesale enquiry page and tell us the products, quantities and your delivery postcode.
Where do I get help?
Email theteam@customersupport.care or use the Contact page. Include the product name and your question, plus your order reference if you have one.
The complete guide
Corten edging: the complete guide
4 min readLawnEdge New Zealand
Weathering steel was developed so bridges and buildings would not need painting. Exposed to the weather it forms a stable rust-coloured skin that protects the steel underneath, and then it stops. That is why corten edging has the warm, settled look people want, and why it is used by professional landscapers.
Sizes and specifications
Both heights are the same section. The only difference is how much face shows.
100mm face height
1075mm lengths, 1m coverage with a 75mm interlock overlap
100mm face height, 1.5mm thick
Seven 100mm spikes per metre
About 1.6kg per length
150mm face height
1075mm lengths, 1m coverage with a 75mm interlock overlap
150mm face height, 1.5mm thick
Seven 100mm spikes per metre
About 1.7kg per length
Supplied in a ready-to-use rusted state. Sold by the metre, no minimum.
How to fit it
Mark your line with string and clear weeds and loose stones.
Check for shallow pipes or cables before you drive spikes in.
Put gloves on. Rusted steel marks hands and clothes.
Stand the first section on the line and drive the spikes in with a rubber mallet.
Slot the next section into the overlap and drive its spikes in. Carry on along the line, bending each section to follow a curve if you need to.
For a short run, cut with a grinder or hacksaw. The cut edge will weather to match within a season.
Where it works
Between lawn and bed. Along a gravel path. Around a raised bed of bark or stone, where the 150mm face earns its keep. Around trees and native plantings, where the colour sits well against green. It holds fast in all normal soils and bends to virtually any shape.
Things to know about corten
The rust settles. Weathering steel is designed to form its skin and then stop, so it does not keep thinning the way plain steel would. It needs no paint or coating, ever, and the steel is fully recyclable.
Run-off can mark pale surfaces. In the first season, rain washing over corten can leave a tint on light concrete or pavers. Keep the edging a little back from pale paving, or accept a bit of patina.
It bends. The 1.5mm section follows a curve by hand as you fit it and holds the shape once the spikes are in.
Is it right for the job?
If you want a black line instead of rust, the black steel edging is the same section with a black coating. Beside pale pavers, the stainless edging avoids any risk of marks. For tight curves, the flexible plastic edging bends further. For a border that looks like it has always been there, this is the one.
Looking after it
Nothing to do. Knock off soil now and then and check the sections are still locked together after a hard frost.
