Clean, Defined Edges for Any Garden
Give your garden that clean, finished look with YardSteel Australia’s Weathering Steel Garden Edging, designed for Aussie conditions and built to last.
Whether you are shaping garden beds, lining pathways, or creating crisp divisions between turf, mulch, gravel, or soil, this edging delivers strength, simplicity, and that timeless rustic finish only genuine Corten steel can offer.
Available in 100mm and 150mm heights, this range allows you to choose the right profile for your space.
The 100mm option suits subtle, low-profile borders, while the 150mm option is ideal for deeper beds, raised areas, and uneven ground where extra height provides better control.
Built from 1.5mm Weathering Steel (corten-type)
Each panel is manufactured from 1.5mm genuine weathering steel (corten-type), chosen for its durability and its ability to develop a rich, stable patina over time.
Supplied pre-rusted, every piece arrives with a warm, earthy finish that continues to mature naturally and blend beautifully into Australian outdoor environments.
This is real steel designed to last, not thin decorative edging or coated alternatives that fade, chip, or fail.
Sizes, Heights and Coverage
Each length measures 1075mm long and connects to provide approximately 1 metre of installed edging once joined.
The 100mm Weathering steel garden edging has a total height of 195mm, made up of a 100mm visible edge and 95mm integrated ground spikes.
The 150mm Weathering steel garden edging stands 265mm tall, featuring a 150mm edge and 105mm spikes for added stability and soil retention.
Both options are engineered to anchor securely into the ground without the need for concrete, keeping your edging firmly in place through heavy rain and shifting soil.
Quick Join System for Fast Installation
YardSteel edging features a simple and effective Quick Join system. Each panel overlaps by 75mm, allowing you to connect sections in seconds using only a wooden mallet.
The steel is strong yet flexible, so you can bend it by hand to follow curves, form smooth corners, or cut it down for custom layouts.
It is a genuinely DIY-friendly system that delivers clean, professional results without specialised tools or complicated installation methods.
Tough, Lightweight and Built to Last
Despite its solid construction, YardSteel edging is easy to handle on site.
The 100mm edging weigh approximately 1.45kg each, while the 150mm edging weigh around 1.95kg each, making solo installation straightforward.
Every edge is built for long-term outdoor use and backed by a 10-year warranty, giving you confidence that your garden edging will continue performing year after year.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes YardSteel different from other garden edging?

Unlike many alternatives, YardSteel features:
- Integrated steel stakes built into every edge
- Fast key-hole connection system with no nuts or bolts

Do I need extra stakes, pins, or fixings?
No. Every YardSteel piece includes integrated steel stakes built directly into the edging.
There are no separate stakes, pegs, clips, or brackets required for standard installations, helping keep installation faster, cleaner, and more cost-effective.
Is YardSteel easy to install for DIY users?
Yes. YardSteel was specifically designed for simple DIY installation.
Most customers install it themselves using only a rubber or wooden mallet. The integrated stakes hammer directly into the ground, while the connection system allows edges to join together in seconds.
No specialised landscaping experience is required.
Can YardSteel create curves and corners?
Absolutely.
The steel is designed to flex naturally, allowing you to create:
- Curves
- Circles
- Straight lines
- Custom garden layouts
This makes YardSteel suitable for both modern geometric gardens and more natural flowing landscapes.
Can the edging be cut to size?
Yes.
YardSteel corten steel edging can be cut using appropriate metal cutting tools if you need custom lengths or detailed layouts.
Alternatively, for minor excess, you can simply bend the edging back and hide the excess without the need for any cutting.
Always wear appropriate safety equipment when cutting steel products.
Will the steel rust?
Yes - and that is intentional.
YardSteel Weathering Steel is designed to develop a stable natural rusted patina over time. This protective outer layer gives the steel its signature earthy appearance while helping protect the material underneath.
Each piece arrives pre-weathered and will continue developing character naturally outdoors. It's a joy to watch!
Does the rust stain concrete or pavers?
During the early weathering process, runoff may occur as the steel develops its protective patina.
We recommend avoiding direct contact with light-coloured concrete or porous surfaces during this period if staining is a concern.
Over time, runoff typically reduces significantly once the weathered finish stabilises.
Does YardSteel help stop weeds and grass spread?
YardSteel helps create a clear physical separation between lawns and garden beds, which can help reduce grass creep and unwanted spreading into mulched or planted areas.
It also helps keep landscaping materials more contained and organised.
Can I mow against YardSteel?
Yes.
The clean edge profile makes it easy to mow along the border for sharper lawn lines and less work with the whipper snipper.
How much coverage does each piece provide?
Each edging piece measures 1075mm long.
Once connected using the easy-connect overlap system, each piece provides approximately 1 metre of installed coverage.
For example:
10 pieces = approximately 10.07 metres installed
How long does YardSteel Corten Steel last?
YardSteel is designed as a long-term landscaping solution and is backed by a 10-year warranty. Under the right conditions, corten steel can last 50+ years.
Weathering steel is specifically chosen for its durability and outdoor performance over many years.
Can you create tree rings and garden rings with this weathering steel edging?
Yes, of course.
All of our edging can easily create garden rings of any diameter (starting at approx. 95cm).
How much is shipping?
We do our best to ship for free. For low value orders under $300 or rural locations. Shipping charges may be applied.
What if I don't like it when I receive it?
