Brilliantly Versatile
Looking for a metal that’s easy to shape? This is the one. A big favourite with blacksmiths, our hot rolled mild steel sheet is ideal for when pliability is key. Of course, in its normal state, it’s strong stuff, but the process used to form it means it becomes more malleable when hot, making it perfect for forging. At the steel mill, ultra-heated carbon steel (often known as plain or mild steel) is passed through two heavy duty rollers, which flatten it into sheets. Imagine dough being squeezed through two giant rolling pins and you’ve got the right idea. The finished product is a ductile yet sturdy metal that’s up to countless jobs. Just like our other products, our hot rolled steel sheet comes in a wide variety of thicknesses and sizes to suit your project. There’s no minimum order and we can cut master sizes down to precisely the dimensions you need, so that nothing goes to waste.
Good for: Construction, automotive parts, agricultural equipment, energy provision, industry strip, lifting, blacksmithing, manufacturing, excavating, pipes, railway and train carriage components and more.
How it’s made: Ingots or slabs of steel are heated to almost 1000ºC (this scorching heat ensures it’s over the all-important recrystallisation temperature) before being passed through twin heavy rollers in the steel mill. When the metal is as hot as this, it can be easily manipulated into the shape and size required. One of the reasons why hot rolled steel is in demand is that it can be made quickly and in larger sized sheets than other metals. As long as the temperature of the metal at the time of rolling is above its recrystallisation temperature, it is classed as hot rolling (when the process happens at room temperature, it’s called cold rolling or cold reducing, and the finished product is less malleable.) Hot rolled steel is often pickled after the rolling process to remove any surface scale; see our hot rolled pickled and oiled steel sheet if you’re looking for hot rolled plate with a smoother finish.
Benefits:
- Malleable
- Versatile
- Affordable
- Reliable

Corten steel lawn edging is incredibly versatile and suitable for a wide range of applications. It’s a great long-lasting alternative to sleepers, plastic edging, and log rolls – offering something a little different and architectural for your garden or outdoor space. Typical uses include:- • Lawn edging: Create clear, defined lines around turf areas.
- • Borders and beds: Ideal for shaping garden beds, vegetable patches, and herb gardens.
- • Area separation: Use as a border edging to divide sections within a garden.
- • Driveways and gravel paths: Maintain shape and prevent movement of materials.

Installing Your Corten Steel Edging
Installing your Corten steel edging is straightforward and can be adapted to suit different project types, whether you’re working on a garden path, curved lawn border, or raised bed. Installation methods vary depending on your project and tools available:- • Welding or bolting: Join strips together by welding or drilling holes and connecting with metal plates that sit below the finished surface.
- • Pegs: Secure edging in place using Corten pegs or Corten fold-over pegs. As a general guide, we recommend allowing double the number of edging strips plus one peg. This allows for a peg at the start and end of the run, one in the middle of each strip, and one at each join between strips for a secure installation.
