Description
Tranquil and evocative, our corten steel pond is a wonderful addition to your garden. The pond is suitable for plants and fish, making this water feature a beautifully dynamic garden element. We coat the interior surfaces of our corten steel ponds with polyurea, so the metal will not corrode. Our ponds are equipped with a fixed overflow pipe as standard. They can also be ordered with optional inlet holes drilled on either the short or long side.
Corten steel has an orange-brown colour, the result of a natural rust layer. Another name for corten steel is weathering steel: weather conditions have a positive effect on this material.
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, so the ponds will last for many years.
SPECIFICATIONS:
- 5-year guarantee.
- The product can be customised.
- This product is sealed with polyurea, for an extra layer of protection on the inside. This prevents the water in the pond causing corrosion.
- Corten steel ponds are hard-wearing, weatherproof, low-maintenance and durable.
- The corten steel has a standard thickness of 3 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 product and stops the rust on corten steel flaking off.
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.
- We do not recommend using corten steel within 2 km of a coastline.
- The weathering process may cause rust run-off.
- The guarantee expires if you drill or grind in a way that is not specified.
- The water used in this product should have a neutral pH value (7) to protect the look and quality of the material.

How to use by frost:
- Lower the water level to below the overflow pipe. This is about 10 cm. below the rim. Note! The pump must be submerged.
