CorTen steel for your autumn garden

Fall is the ideal season to rethink your garden design. Far from being a time to take a break, it is the perfect moment to prepare for winter, anticipate spring, and enjoy the outdoors even when temperatures drop. And for that, CorTen steel is your best ally: robust, durable, attractive, and adaptable, it blends naturally with autumn colours.

Here are 5 simple and stylish ideas to enhance your garden with CorTen steel this fall:

1. Install a brazier to extend your evenings outdoors

When the evenings start to cool down, there's nothing like a CorTen steel brazier to create a warm atmosphere. CorTen steel is highly resistant to the elements and develops a protective rust patina that blends beautifully with autumn foliage.

Tip: place it in the centre of a relaxation area with a couple of wooden chairs or thick cushions

2. Store your firewood in style

Preparing your wood supply for winter has never been so attractive. Our CorTen steel wood storage solutions combine functionality with modern design, perfect for those who like a well-organised garden... with character.

Tip: place it near your fire pit or close to the house for added convenience

3. Prepare your planters for spring

Fall is the ideal time to install your new planters. Why now? Because CorTen steel takes a few weeks to develop its characteristic rust patina. By spring, your planters will have a beautiful warm, natural colour, ready to welcome your seedlings and plants.

Tip: install them now, let nature do its work, and in spring all you'll have to do is plant!

4. Use edging or retaining walls to structure your garden

Fall is also an excellent time to reorganise your outdoor spaces. With CorTen steel edging, you can elegantly define a path, flower bed or lawn. It is simple to install, durable and provides a professional finish with minimal effort.

Tip: combine different heights to create original raised effects

5. Highlight autumn foliage with CorTen elements

The rusty tones of CorTen blend perfectly with fall colours: reds, oranges, browns... Use decorative elements such as panels, a fountain or original pots to create an impressive interplay of textures and colours.

Tip: place them near trees with colourful leaves or in less used areas of the garden to catch the eye
