What is Corten Steel?
Corten steel, also known as weathering steel, is known for its striking aesthetic of a deep coppery red and orange that comes from the layer of rust that accumulates over the surface of the metal.

The rusting is completely intentional and is what is known as controlled rust. The rust actually forms a protective layer over the steel when it is left to fight the natural elements.

Corten steel and its unique style have become incredibly popular in modern landscaping. As a result of this stylish appearance (not to mention many other benefits), corten steel is now used for all kinds of outdoor fixtures, from outdoor fire pits and fireplaces to planters and even wood storage.

Moreover, this unique rusting characteristic also helps to make a corten fire pit one of the most durable options available. This makes it a worthwhile investment for anyone seeking a firepit that is built to last!
