If you can envision it in Corten steel, let's talk about it.
What Is Custom Corten Steel Fabrication?
Custom Corten steel fabrication is the process of designing and manufacturing unique products or architectural elements from weathering steel based on project-specific requirements.
Unlike standard products, custom fabrication allows dimensions, configuration, appearance, and intended application to be considered as part of the design.
National Planter Supply works with customers who prefer Corten steel products that are:
- Custom sized
- Project specific
- Architecturally designed
- Manufactured for a particular application
- Designed to complement an existing landscape or structure
Our goal is to turn a concept into a functional, thoughtfully fabricated Corten steel product.
What Can We Build in Corten Steel?
Corten steel is a versatile material that can be fabricated into much more than traditional landscape products.
A custom fire feature can become more than a source of warmth—it can serve as an architectural focal point and gathering place within an outdoor living space. National Planter Supply designs and fabricates custom Corten steel fire features for residential landscapes, outdoor living spaces, commercial properties, hospitality projects, and architectural applications.
Custom-built options can include:
- Corten steel fire pits
- Fire bowls
- Fire tables
- Linear fire features
- Corten steel fireplaces
- Custom architectural fire features
Because each project is custom fabricated, the size, shape, configuration, and overall design can be developed around the space and intended application. Corten steel's naturally weathered patina adds warmth, texture, and architectural character while complementing materials such as stone, pavers, concrete, wood, and surrounding plantings.
Whether you're looking for a custom Corten fire feature for a patio, outdoor kitchen, pool area, covered outdoor space, commercial property, or architectural project, National Planter Supply can work from your drawings, dimensions, photos, inspiration, or initial idea.
Incorporate weathering steel into a one-of-a-kind water wall, basin, spillway, fountain, or architectural water feature designed for your landscape or architectural project.
Add an architectural touch to your property's entrance with custom Corten steel mailboxes, mailbox posts, address numbers, entry markers, and decorative panels.
Custom fabrication allows planters to be designed around available space, planting requirements, architectural dimensions, and landscape layouts.
Create custom privacy screens, landscape panels, outdoor room dividers, decorative fencing elements, and equipment screening with patterns and openings.
Corten steel can be fabricated into business signage, property signs, garden signs, feature walls, architectural screens, sculptural elements, site features and enclosures.

3. Develop the Design
Project dimensions, proportions, functionality, appearance, and fabrication requirements can then be considered.
4. Fabrication
Once specifications are established and the project is approved, the Corten steel component moves into fabrication.

Natural Corten
or Powder-Coated Finish?
The naturally weathered appearance of Corten steel is one of its defining characteristics, but powder coating may also be available for select custom products and applications.
Natural Corten Finish
Allow the steel to develop its characteristic weathered patina naturally.
Powder-Coated Finish
For projects requiring a specific color or more uniform appearance, powder coating may provide an alternative finish that coordinates with a property's architecture, exterior finishes, or landscape design.
Finish options depend on the product and application and can be discussed during the design process.
