Description

A substantial Corten steel water trough, designed for everything from contemporary garden ponds to wonderfully simple outdoor dipping tanks.

Part of our Broxwood Collection, these rectangular water troughs are handmade from heavy-duty 3mm certified Corten steel. Fully welded and supplied ready to fill, their beautifully simple form makes them a striking addition to both traditional and contemporary gardens.

Available in an extensive choice of sizes, from compact ponds at 120cm long up to 600cm by request with 40cm and 60cm depths available. Use one as a tranquil ornamental pond, incorporate aquatic planting or a fountain, or choose one of the larger sizes to create a simple outdoor dipping tank.

Every tank is fabricated to a watertight specification and internally lined with Polyurea as standard. This creates a barrier between the water and weathering steel, helping prevent contamination from the developing Corten patina. 

Externally, the Corten is designed to weather naturally, gradually developing its characteristic mixture of orange, russet and deep brown tones. The resulting patina protects the steel beneath and creates a finish that sits beautifully within a planted garden.

Each tank arrives fully assembled, with no construction required on site. Bespoke dimensions are also available for projects requiring something a little different. Delivery takes up to 42 days from order.

Simple, substantial and built to last – a British-made Corten steel tank equally suited to creating a beautiful garden pond or a proper outdoor dipping pool.

Questions & Notes

Free Delivery & Lead-Time

All prices shown include delivery to mainland England and Wales addresses.

For customers located outside these areas, delivery is not included within the listed price and will be quoted separately before an order is processed.

Depending on the size and quantity of pieces ordered, delivery will be made either via a parcel courier network or a palletised freight service. Smaller planters and lower-volume orders are typically dispatched through standard courier services, whilst larger planters & water features and bulk orders will be delivered on a pallet to ensure they arrive safely.

Please note that some of the largest features within the range are substantial items. Customers should ensure that suitable access is available for delivery vehicles and that there is a clear route to the intended unloading point. Moving the goods once delivered is the customers responsibility.

Lead-Time

As standard, the lead time is approximately 2 to 4 weeks delivered. But if you require a shorter lead time, please contact me and I will share your needs with the workshop.

Once the workshop have finished your order, it will be dispatched directly to your home.

How Long To Go Rusty?

My Corten products are dispatched in a raw steel finish as standard.

It will take up to 12 months for the steel to develop its final rusted look & protective layer, but it could be as soon as 6 months if your garden's conditions are just right!

This process depends on factors such as weather, climate, your proximity to the coast (sea spray) etc...

Bespoke Sizes

If our standard sizes aren't quite right for your space, don't worry. We're delighted to offer a bespoke service, allowing our workshop to manufacture many of our products to your exact requirements.

Simply get in touch using the enquiry form on this page and let us know what you have in mind. The more information you can provide, the better we'll be able to advise and prepare a quotation tailored to your project.

Thickness

As standard, planters supplied in the Corten Range are made from a 2mm thick, structural-grade steel. Water features are generally upgraded to a thicker 3mm.

However, depending on your intended use - if you would like to order an item made from a thicker, more substantial steel (up to 6mm thick), then please get in touch and I can source a quotation.

I would suggest upgrading the thickness if you are:-

  • Planting anything heavy
  • Located in a windy spot
  • Are near the coast
  • Planning on using these in a commercial setting

A heavier grade planter will always last longer.

Maintenance & Notes

Maintenance

Corten steel requires no maintenance as the rusted patina it naturally forms acts as a protective barrier meaning there’s no need for painting or sealing. Depending on the environmental exposure, Corten steel’s lifespan can exceed 50 years thanks to its self-protecting rust layer, which is why it’s ideal for outdoor applications.

Notes

During the natural weathering process, your piece may produce ‘runoff’ that could cause staining on the surface below. This risk is particularly high during the first three to six months of the weathering process. Keep an eye out if these needs washing off a new patio.

Please note that, once production has started, the workshop may not be able to accommodate changes to an order.

Once you have received your planter or water feature, please unpack it straight away. Planters left palletised or packaged may develop an uneven patina if exposed to moisture or rain.

Warranty

5 year manufacturer's structural warranty.

What is Corten Steel?

Corten steel is highly durable and resistant to corrosion. It develops a unique rusty patina that enhances its look over time and this layer protects it further from changing weather conditions, making it ideal for outdoor use.
