1. Will Corten steel picket fences rust? Will the rust layer peel off?
Yes, Corten steel naturally develops a stable rust layer, which protects the metal from further corrosion. Unlike regular steel, it won’t rust through or flake off.

2. Will the rust stain the surrounding area?
During the initial weathering process, some rust particles may wash off, especially when exposed to water. However, once the patina stabilizes, this stops. Proper drainage planning or stain-resistant surfaces can help prevent discoloration.

3. How long does a Corten steel picket fence last?
Corten steel can last for decades, depending on environmental conditions. It performs best in dry or mild climates, while high-humidity or coastal areas may require a longer stabilization period.

4. Does Corten steel require special maintenance?
Almost none. No painting or coatings are needed—just let it naturally weather. If you want to control the patina, periodic cleaning or rust accelerators can help.

5. Where can Corten steel fences be used?
Ideal for gardens, commercial spaces, parks, and privacy screens. It withstands extreme temperatures but may need extra protection in salty coastal environments.

6. What sizes and thicknesses are available? Can it be customized?
We offer standard sizes and various thicknesses (e.g., 2mm, 3mm, 5mm, and fence posts from 1–10cm). Custom options are available—contact us for details.

7. Is installation easy? Can I DIY it?
Yes! Most Corten steel fences come in modular designs for easy DIY installation. Lighter panels can be bolted or welded, while heavier ones may require professional tools.

8. How does Corten steel compare to other materials like stainless steel or wood?

• More natural aesthetic and lower cost than stainless steel.
• More corrosion-resistant than regular steel, with no need for maintenance.
• Stronger and longer-lasting than wood, without rotting or pest damage.

9. Is Corten steel expensive?
It costs more than regular carbon steel upfront but saves money long-term due to its low maintenance. Compared to stainless steel or high-quality wood, it offers better value.

10. Is Corten steel environmentally friendly?
Yes! It’s fully recyclable, requires no chemical coatings, and has a lower environmental impact—making it a sustainable choice.
