FRITECH / CORTEN
Steel that develops character over time.
Planters, raised garden beds and outdoor steel elements made to agreed dimensions. Simple forms and a naturally changing patina for private gardens, terraces and commercial outdoor spaces.
Made-to-measure planters
Length, width and height are tailored to the setting. We agree on the base, drainage, reinforcement, transport and installation before manufacture.
Raised garden beds
Steel edging for growing areas and planted displays. Height, segmentation, maintenance access and ground contact are agreed for the intended use.
Outdoor steel elements
Edging, dividers and other steel features manufactured to an agreed design. Drawings and installation requirements form the basis of the quotation.
Patina is part of the material
The surface of weathering steel changes colour through alternating wet and dry cycles. Its shade and development depend on the surroundings. Corten is not completely corrosion-proof: persistent moisture, standing water and aggressive environments must be considered in the design.
Plan the location and drainage
During weathering, runoff can leave rust marks on light paving and façades. Suitable drainage, separation from the ground and protection of nearby surfaces should be planned. Drainage layers, a possible liner and separation from soil are agreed for the intended use.
What do we need for a quotation?
- Dimensions and quantity.
- A sketch or photo of the location.
- Planned filling and intended use.
- Requirements for the base, drainage and installation.

Corten planters — our projects
Corten steel firewood racks and fire pits
Made-to-measure design concepts. We can develop a design from a sketch, photograph or graphic supplied by the customer, adapting the shape, dimensions, compartments and finish to the intended location.
Firewood storage racks
A tall narrow rack with a divider, a circular rack with compartments or a low modular rack. Dimensions and capacity are tailored to log length and the available space.
Garden fire pits
A round fire bowl, a square model or a long rectangular fire pit. Shape, height, plate thickness and base construction are agreed for each project. For outdoor use on a noncombustible surface.
Send a sketch, dimensions and a photo of the intended location. We will prepare a manufacturing scope and an individual quotation.
