*What is special about corten or corten equivalent steel?

• Corten Steel (sometimes known as weathered steel)
  • is a group of steel alloys often used in outdoor construction.
  • was designed to eliminate the need for painting
  • left outside, exposed to the elements, they develop a rusted appearance in just a few months,
    • this is a natural process and can take two to three years to stabilise.
• Are there disadvantages to corten steel?
  • It is not Indestructible.
    • Weathering steel certainly protects against corrosion, but it isn't indestructible.
    • Corten Steel planters that don't have adequate draining capabilities, may not last as long as one that does.
