Retaining wall drainage info
A well built corten retaining wall with proper drainage will easily last 30-50yrs plus, depending on the environment
Retaining wall drainage info
Our corten retaining wall system is DIY friendly and all parts come pre drilled ready to install with no special tools required. You should not need to do any cutting or welding of the corten.
All parts predrilled for easy assembly
The steel is either TEK screwed or bolted together
Corten retaining wall with capping
Corten steel requires no maintenance, as over time it develops a crystalline rust patina that dramatically reduces further corrosion
Posts set in concrete pile holes
Generally the retaining wall pile hole depth is equal to the height of the retaining wall. However in softer soils or walls supporting sloping ground, driveways, or buildings, the post and pile retaining wall method solves this by adjusting the post spacings and pile depths.

Corten Steel Care and Maintenance
Corten steel, also known as weathering steel, is a high tensile steel that forms a protective layer of rust or patina when exposed to the elements. This patina shields the steel from further corrosion, giving it a characteristic reddish-brown color.

Internal and external curved pieces available
We work with landscapers, architects, engineers, and Diyers to provide corten retaining wall layouts that are easy to assemble, we provide these retaining wall layouts for free. Please contact us via email
Setout examples and prices
To form this protective patina, corten steel needs repeated cycles of wetting and drying. If buried or otherwise prevented from experiencing these cycles, corten steel will not develop the patina and will rust at a similar rate to mild steel.

Panel assembly
These panels come pre-made Just screw them together – it’s like giant Lego for grown-ups!
Longer posts
The modular design of Lego-type corten walls and support posts set in concrete pile holes ,creates a very strong and stable structure that can withstand significant lateral pressure from soil behind the wall.
Panels can be offset
The modular design of Lego-type corten walls allows for panels to be offset and different sized panels to be joined to each other
