Love the Cor-Ten planters Cor-Ten steel is the trademarked name for a weathering steel that is known for its distinct, rusty finish and is used on building exteriors and in sculpture and integrated into landscape design. While the U.S. Steel Corp. holds the trademark to the name Cor-Ten, the term is commonly applied to all weathering steel, a group of steel alloys that will gain a rust-like appearance over time. “When you buy weathering steel today, it may or may not be Cor-Ten,” says designer and fabricator Branden Adams of BaDesign in Oakland, California. Originally designed to eliminate the need for painting or any other protective coating, Cor-Ten steel develops a naturally oxidized finish over the course of a few years that not only protects it from further corrosion, but also makes it a desirable design material. “In this case, rust is ‘good’ in that it not only protects the underlying metal, but it also displays beautiful, earth-toned colorization,” says Montana-based metal artist Pete Christensen. Typically Landscape designer and/or metal fabricator to construct the planters
