Our retaining walls are the perfect solution for separating lawns, borders and paths. They can also be used as planters. Retaining walls create a strong structural impact in gardens and outdoor spaces.
Our retaining walls offer almost limitless possibilities for creating shape and form. We always have a variety of sizes, angles and curves in stock. The prefabricated, modular system makes it easy to invisibly join retaining wall elements together.
The orange-brown patina on the metal contributes to the bold, warm look of this retaining wall. The colour is the result of a natural layer of rust. Another name for corten steel is weathering steel: weather conditions have a positive effect on this retaining wall.
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 life of the retaining wall.
