Key Features of the Jumeirah Corten Steel Pond

Crafted from high-quality Corten steel, Buy Metal Online’s Jumeirah pond is built to last, delivering both visual appeal and functional durability. The material begins in a smooth blue-grey finish and naturally matures into a rich, orange-brown hue as it weathers. This rust patina develops over time, providing a striking visual transformation while forming a protective barrier against further corrosion.

Our Corten steel metal ponds are fully lined with a non-toxic, waterproof polyurea coating that creates a completely watertight interior that’s safe for fish, aquatic plants, and wildlife.

With an overflow pipe built in, each Corten steel pond is:

• • Durable – made from high-quality self-protecting Corten steel for long-lasting strength and quality.
• • Weather-resistant – designed to effortlessly withstand the elements all year round.
• • Low-maintenance – requires minimal upkeep while maintaining its appeal.
• • Safe and non-toxic – features a professional interior lining to support a healthy aquatic ecosystem in your garden or outdoor space.
• • Aesthetic – naturally develops a beautiful, weathered finish that continuously enhances its look over time.

Warning: During the weathering period, run-off can stain adjacent material. Please bear this in mind when positioning your pond.

Corten Steel Pond FAQs

What is Corten steel?

Corten steel, also known as weathering steel, is a high-strength alloy made primarily from iron, with added copper, chromium, and nickel. 

Our Jumeirah Corten steel ponds are crafted from premium industrial-grade Corten steel sheets, designed to deliver superior strength and long-lasting durability. This material begins its life as a blue-grey colour, gradually developing a bright orange-brown patina as it weathers. Although it may look like rust, this oxidised layer is a natural protective coating that prevents further corrosion and gives the pond a striking, industrial aesthetic that evolves beautifully over time.

How will my Corten steel pond weather?

Your Corten steel pond will typically arrive in a raw, blue-grey state and will gradually change to a textured burnt-orange hue as it weathers with exposure to the elements. The speed of this process depends on the climate, but most items are fully weathered within 9 months. Here’s what to expect:

1. In most cases, your Corten steel pond will arrive un-rusted. It may have a slight patina or dark oily residue, which is completely normal. 
2. As weathering begins, the residue breaks down and the rusty colour will gradually start to appear. During this time, any run-off may stain stone or concrete surfaces, so choose your pond’s position with care.
3. After weathering (around 6-9 months), your metal pond should be almost entirely rust-coloured. Run-off may still occur but it will be minimal.

Please note:

Corten products can arrive at any stage of weathering. We cannot guarantee what level they will be or even if multiple items ordered at the same time will all be at the same level. Unweathered areas of your pond will be the colour of freshly manufactured steel, with a dark oily coating.

Be aware that run-off during the weathering period may stain nearby surfaces, although most staining can be removed by using specialist rust-removing cleaning products. Run-off may still occur for several months after the uniform rust colour has been achieved

Can Corten steel be used as a pond?

Yes. When properly lined, Corten steel is a fantastic material for ponds. It offers both durability and aesthetics, making it a practical yet stylish choice for any garden.

To ensure the Corten steel weathers properly and to prevent residue, we recommend using a neutralising water supplement if your pond water isn’t pH neutral. Regularly check your water’s pH levels to maintain the steel’s appearance and weathering process.

Is Corten steel safe for fish?

Yes, our Jumeirah Corten steel pond is fully lined with a polyurea waterproof barrier that prevents any direct contact between the steel and water. This non-toxic coating makes it safe for fish and other aquatic life, as well as plants and garden wildlife.

How do you waterproof Corten steel?

Our Corten ponds are fully lined with polyurea, which is sprayed on the inside and allowed to set. This is a professional-grade coating that creates a waterproof barrier to ensure a watertight, secure interior that’s also non-toxic and safe for animals and plants. That means there’s no need for additional waterproof treatments, sealing or pond liners. 

On the outside, Corten steel is naturally weatherproof and resistant to rain, frost, and the elements, offering a long-lasting and low-maintenance finish that evolves beautifully over time.

Do you need to seal Corten steel?

No sealing is required on our Jumeirah Corten steel pond. The outer surface develops its own protective layer as it rusts, while the interior polyurea coating keeps the water securely contained.

Can Corten steel hold water?

Absolutely. When lined with the proper coating, Corten steel holds water effectively, making it an ideal material for stylish and secure garden ponds.

Our Corten steel pond containers are built for purpose and are fully waterproof and watertight for your peace of mind.

How do I make a Corten steel container pond?

Start with a high-quality, fully lined and waterproof Corten steel pond container like the Jumeirah. Choose a level, sunny location that receives plenty of natural light, ideally away from overhanging trees to reduce falling debris. Begin by adding a base layer of clean gravel or pond substrate to support aquatic plants and provide a natural environment for fish and other wildlife. Next, arrange a variety of aquatic plants such as oxygenators, floaters, and marginals to promote water clarity, oxygenation, and visual interest. If you plan to add fish, ensure the water is conditioned properly and introduce them gradually.

To elevate the design, consider incorporating solar-powered fountains, LED lighting, or decorative water features that complement the pond’s industrial yet natural aesthetic. Regular maintenance, such as topping up water levels, removing excess algae, and cleaning filters (if used), will help keep your Corten steel pond looking beautiful and functioning perfectly all year round.

How do I keep Corten steel pond water clear?

You can use pond filters, aquatic plants, and regular maintenance to keep your water clear. Skim debris regularly and test water quality if housing fish.

Does Corten steel leach into water?

Our Corten steel pond containers are fully lined with a professional-grade, non-toxic polyurea coating that creates a completely waterproof and watertight barrier. This means there’s no risk of leaching into the water, making them completely safe for fish, aquatic plants, and other wildlife. 

However, other unlined Corten ponds on the market can pose this risk, and may leach into water over time.
