Which Colour?

Mild Steel – a naturally weathering steel that is allowed to rust. Although the lifespan of mild steel is shorter than the other options, you can still expect many years of use.

Galvanised Steel – mild steel that is treated with a layer of zinc to prevent rusting. The zinc layer protects the steel, and any product made with a galvanised finish can be expected to last a lifetime.

Powder Coated – Powder coating is the method we use to paint our products. A coloured polyester powder is applied to galvanised steel and then baked in an oven to give it a hard and durable finish. Our standard range of colours is brown, black, slate, green and unpainted, however, we have recently supplied edging in red, white and blue.

Corten Steel – This is a steel which looks very similar to mild steel. It will arrive on site a dull grey and, over the course of around 3-6 months form a rusty patina. This patina protects the basic steel underneath and prevents it from breaking down. Corten gives you a rustic look without the fear of the steel losing its strength.
