Cor-ten thickness - Your corten planters are absolutely stunning! They appear very thick--did you use 1/2" on this application? Thank you in advance. »
Gilliland Gardens and Interiors Do you have any under-structures below these planters? Is 1/2" the minimum before steel starts to bow from interior fill weight or added water weight. How do you allow for drainage? Are corners overlapped or capped(as I perceive them)? Great space saver -how does it do for heat dissemination? ie: would these work in Northern California where it is not desert-like?
Can you use Steel for raised beds to grow vegetables? - Is it safe to use steel or other metal for raised beds? Will any metal or leach into the vegetables as they grow?
thanks. »
D-CRAIN Design and Construction We work with plain untreated steel in our projects so there are no harmful chemicals that could leach into the soil and find it being used more and more for gardening.
Again Cor-Ten steel is the material choice for the retaining walls of this terraced garden.The glaucous coloring of the succulents contrasts well with the metal, and the plants are perfect for dry conditions. The gravel mulch aids drainage and prevents water evaporation while providing a great textural contrast against the plantings and steel.
Love this steel.
