Weathering steel screens, stakes and planters.
- 0 files
Outdoor steel needs drainage, ground clearance and a bit of humility about wind loading. The screens and stakes here include weep slots at the bottom edge and stake tabs sized for 12 mm rebar.
Corten looks best when it is allowed to wet and dry evenly. Mount panels 20 mm off a wall so the back face rusts at the same rate as the front, otherwise the panel will cup within a season.
Files are drawn for 3 mm mild steel; scale the whole design when you move to 5 mm and increase the minimum feature size proportionally so the torch can still pierce cleanly.

Garden & Yard Art — questions we get
2 answers01Do I need to seal weathering steel?
Not outdoors. Corten forms a stable patina in six to nine months. Indoors, or where runoff will stain paving, use a matte clear coat designed for ferrous metal.
02How deep should the stakes go into the ground?
A third of the panel height for sheltered spots, half in exposed positions. The tab accepts 12 mm rebar; hammer the rebar first, then slide the panel on.
