Corten steel: a real eye-catcher in the front yard
The use of corten steel in the front yard is especially popular because the characteristic rust color has a warm appearance and beautifully contrasts with green plants.
By using different corten steel items, you not only create a cohesive whole but also ensure good durability against the weather. With little maintenance, your front yard stays beautiful all year round.
"Corten steel is versatile: you can use planters, mailboxes, house numbers, retaining walls, edging, and pergolas in your front yard."
Front yard with planters
Place corten steel planters in your front yard for a modern and cozy look. Do you want to enjoy a beautiful atmosphere in the evening? Then think of built-in soft LED lighting that emphasizes the edges of your corten steel flower boxes. Combine the planters cleverly with a wooden bench for relaxation in your front yard. In winter, planters can even serve as decoration by filling them with hardy plants.
Large corten steel planters
Large corten steel planters are not only beautiful to look at but also provide privacy and coziness. Place them cleverly to create a natural partition.
You can also change the atmosphere of your front yard every season by playing with different plants and flowers.
A front yard with flower boxes can also be a real eye-catcher. Striking plants or flowers immediately draw attention and give your home a unique appearance.
Planter as a divider
Corten steel planters are also ideal to use as a divider in your front yard. They look beautiful and provide more privacy. By placing tall plants or shrubs in the planters, you create a natural wall that shields your front yard from curious eyes.
Additionally, these planters also provide a clear boundary between your garden and the sidewalk. This creates a tidy and organized appearance.
Planter with bench
A planter with a bench is a smart and beautiful solution for your front yard. You have a place to sit and greenery around you, creating a cozy atmosphere. This makes your front yard not only practical but also a nice place to relax.
Front yard with other garden products made of corten steel
Corten steel is a versatile material. Besides planters, there are many other garden products made of corten steel that you can use in your front yard, such as mailboxes, house numbers, retaining walls, edging, and even pergolas.
Mailbox and house numbers
A corten steel mailbox can be a striking element in your front yard. It is not only functional but also gives a modern look to the entrance of your home.
For a cohesive whole, you can add other corten steel elements in your front yard, such as a corten steel house number. This is a subtle but still striking detail.
Retaining walls and edging
If you place corten steel retaining walls or corten steel edging along your flower beds, your front yard gets a warm and modern look. They are often used to accommodate height differences in the garden and neatly demarcate flower beds.
Pedestal for art, vases, or other unique garden elements
A corten steel pedestal is an original item that provides a stylish base for artworks, flower pots, vases, or other garden elements. This pedestal draws attention to your front yard and enhances the beauty of your garden. It gives your garden a personal and unique appearance.
Water tables and water features
In addition to planters and border edges, you can use corten steel in other ways in the front yard. A good example is a corten steel water table. These water tables have a warm rust color and provide a beautiful focal point at the entrance of your home. The flowing water gives tranquility and a pleasant atmosphere. Moreover, corten steel pairs well with other materials in the garden, such as wood, stone, and plants. This way, your front yard becomes not only beautiful but also cozy and inviting.
Pergola
Corten steel pergolas are also a beautiful addition to your garden. They provide shade and can be covered with climbing plants for a green and cozy effect. This allows you to create a lovely spot where you can relax and enjoy your garden. Want to know how to best install a pergola? In our blog 'Pergola in the garden', we explain this step by step.
