VidaXL Garden Raised Bed - 100 x 40 x 77 cm - Rusty Corten Steel

Corten steel, also known as weathering steel, is a type of steel that forms a stable, rust-like protective layer when exposed to atmospheric conditions. This layer prevents further corrosion and eliminates the need for painting.

The time varies depending on environmental conditions, but it typically takes several weeks to months to develop a full, stable rust patina. You can speed up the process by spraying it with a salt water solution.

While the rust layer is stable, some minor bleeding might occur during the initial development phase, especially if the bed is frequently wet. It's advisable to wash hands after handling and avoid direct contact with clothes during this period.

The dimensions are 100 cm in length, 40 cm in width, and 77 cm in height (L x W x H).

No, Corten steel is designed to weather naturally. Painting or treating it would defeat its purpose and can interfere with the protective rust layer formation.

No, the rim of the garden pot has a safe edge fold design, meaning no dangerous sharp edges are exposed.

The product comes with a 2-year guarantee.

This is normal. Corten steel develops its rust patina over time when exposed to atmospheric conditions. You can accelerate this process by spraying with a salt water solution.

Refer to the included assembly manual carefully. Ensure all parts are aligned correctly before tightening fasteners. If issues persist, contact customer support.

This can occur during the initial rusting phase. Protect surrounding areas with temporary coverings. Wear gloves when handling the bed during this period.

Consistent exposure to moisture and air is key. Ensure the entire exterior surface is exposed. You can manually encourage rust by reapplying the salt water solution to lighter areas.
