Owatrol Oil | Corten Steel Protective Coating
from £30.00
Size:

  • Corten steel is a metal alloy made by adding copper, phosphorus, silicon, nickel and chromium to iron. When exposed to air, the material forms a protective layer of rust. This natural coating prevents further corrosion, extending the planter's life.

    SPECIFICATIONS:

    • 5-year guarantee.

    • Corten steel planters are very robust, hard-wearing, weatherproof, low-maintenance and durable.

    • The planter has hidden feet and drainage holes. This allows it to float a little above the ground (15 mm) and provides optimal drainage.

    • The corten steel has a standard thickness of 2 mm.

    • Products are delivered without rust. The corten steel rusting process takes about 4-5 months, depending on weather conditions.

    • The rust can be fixed by applying Owatrol. This is a penetrating rust inhibitor that forms a protective anti-rust coating. Owatrol protects the planter and stops the rust on corten steel flaking off. 

    • We do not recommend using corten steel within 2 km of a coastline. See our blog post “Corten Steel and Coastal Sites” for more info.

    Key points of interest:

    • Products should be unpacked immediately upon receipt to release any moisture trapped inside the packaging. If the product is left in its packaging, it may develop uneven rust patches.

    • Ensure proper drainage.

    • Do not use an overflow pipe; no excess water should remain in the corten steel planter. This can cause the metal to corrode due to the interaction of oxygen and soil.

    • Do not use hydro pellets: they retain moisture.

    • We do not recommend using corten steel within 2 km of a coastline.

    • The guarantee expires if you drill or grind in a way that is not specified.

    • The weathering process may cause rust run-off.

    PLANTING ADVICE:

    • Cover the bottom of the planter with a layer of gravel (approx. 10 cm, Ø35 mm grading).

    • Place a permeable anti-root membrane over the gravel.

    • Cover the membrane with soil suitable for your chosen plants.

    • Do not use an overflow pipe; no water should remain in the corten steel planter.
