Product Details
Corten Steel Trough refers to container- or channel-shaped products made from weathering steel (Corten steel), designed for outdoor and industrial use. Due to its excellent atmospheric corrosion resistance and natural rust appearance, Corten steel troughs are widely used in landscaping, architecture, and agricultural or drainage-related systems.
The material forms a stable protective rust layer over time, making it suitable for long-term outdoor exposure without the need for painting.
