Corten retaining wall costed examples
Our system is ideal for retaining walls 600mm up to 1200mm Using Corten steel angle posts set in concrete pile holes. We are also able to supply taller or shorter retaining walls if required using the same system.
Walls no capping
Corten wall braced while concrete sets
Walls with capping
Corten retaining wall system with hidden fixings and is finished off with a rounded corten capping
Retaining wall steps
All parts in our corten retaining wall system come ready to install, with no special tools required The steel is either screwed or bolted together
Corten post ready for next panel to be screwed or boltes on
This is an engineer designed system, using the strong steel posts set in concrete pile hole construction method. This gives you a narrow retaining wall, ideal for where space is limited.

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.

Temporary Braces
Corten support posts, with temporary timber bracing, before concrete is poured into pile holes
Temporary Braces
Corten support posts, with temporary timber bracing, at bottom of post. The corten steel posts have pre-drilled holes, making it easy to add the timber braces.

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.
