What are metal garden screens used for?

Metal garden screens are used for privacy, decoration, and creating stylish outdoor zones. They can also act as windbreaks, support climbing plants, or be used as standalone garden art.

Are metal garden screens weather-resistant?

Yes, our metal garden screens are made from durable materials like corten steel and aluminium, ensuring they are rust-resistant and withstand all weather conditions.

How do I install a metal garden screen?

Installation is simple. Our screens can be wall-mounted, attached to fences, or placed as freestanding structures with support posts.

Corten Steel Garden Screens: The Complete Guide

Corten steel garden screens have revolutionised outdoor design with their distinctive rustic appearance and industrial charm. These weathering steel panels combine contemporary aesthetics with remarkable durability, making them increasingly popular choices for modern garden designs across the UK.

What Is Corten Steel and Why Choose It for Garden Screens?

Corten steel (sometimes called weathering steel) is a group of steel alloys developed to form a protective rust-like appearance when exposed to weather conditions. Unlike ordinary steel, Corten contains specific elements like copper, chromium, and nickel that allow it to develop a stable rust layer that actually protects the metal beneath from further corrosion.

The oxidation process typically begins immediately upon exposure to the elements, with the characteristic burnt-orange patina developing within 3-6 months depending on your local climate. This natural aging process continues to evolve subtly over approximately 2-3 years until the protective patina fully stabilises.
