Cor-Ten edging- Anyone have any recommendations for suppliers?

Hi all,

I've decided to create a design involving cor-ten edging. I'll probably need to buy quite a lot of it (30m worth or so), and of course it's pretty expensive. 

Does anyone have experience with suppliers? Should I be going for the generic 1m sections (which retail for £12-£15 per meter), or is there a supplier out there that will create made to measure sections?

    If you want to create a sweeping curve, you're best to get as long a piece as you can find / afford.

    Are there any steel fabricators in your area that you could talk to and they could make to order? Agree that a continuous piece is best for a curve.

    I agree, it's something which I'd look at having made to order if it were my project

    We went with Everedge and have been very happy...but you can look locally for other suppliers. We probably installed a similar amount to your situation.

    My Everedge is brilliant too, but I only needed a new metres. I have to say I had my doubts, but ordered after feedback on the forum. It has does precisely what I hoped it would.

    Big fan of everedge here as well. Or are you looking for something chunkier @Gaughan.david ?

    Thanks everyone. I've seen Everedge, but never any in cor-ten- is that a thing?

    I don't necessarily need it to be chunky- just to define some borders, between a grass base and a gravel base.

    ALSO, based on someone elses' recommendation, I've spoken to a couple of metal companies and the following site came as a recommendation:

    Check this out: https://www.buymetalonline.co.uk/product/corten-steel/

    2.5m x 1.25m corten sheet for £122, free shipping, with 5 free cuts making 6 x 2.5m lengths at about 20cm height. 

    works out to £8 per meter! I'd just have to work out how to join the lengths together, presumably!
