Product Information
Our mild steel garden ring brings shape and structure to your planting. Made to measure in Britain from heavy-duty 3mm mild steel, it’s ideal for circling the base of a tree, creating a raised bed, or adding a striking circular feature to a lawn, border or gravel garden.
Because the ring is open at the base, plants root straight into the ground below, giving them room to grow and helping with drainage. Choose the exact diameter and height you need using the price calculator, and we’ll make your ring to order.
How your ring arrives depends on its size. Rings up to and including 1200mm in diameter are supplied as a single welded unit, ready to position. Larger rings are supplied in two halves for easier delivery and handling, then bolt together on site with a 50mm wide rib welded internally for strength. All fixings are included. Garden rings supplied in two halves are ideal for fitting around existing trees and established plants, with no need to lift or disturb them.

About Mild Steel
Mild steel is the most commonly used and widely available low carbon steel on the market and is typically used in projects where a large quantity is required, such as in structural projects. The material’s high strength, flexibility and low cost make it a very economical solution.
- Appearance
At the very beginning, both Corten steel and mild steel look very similar, and there is not much difference between the two. However, exposure to the elements begins the weathering process, and this is where the first major difference starts to appear.
Corten will develop a beautiful orange patina as the weathering process begins, while mild steel will produce a darker brown appearance instead. Over time, both will slowly develop a lovely brown patina when the weathering process is complete, but it will take mild steel a lot longer to reach this stage in comparison to Corten.
- Corrosion
Although both mild steel and Corten steel do look similar after the complete weathering process, they do have very different corrosion results.
Over time, Corten will develop its own unique layer of rust on the surface, which effectively acts as a protective barrier that prevents the steel itself from corroding. The weathering process takes around 6-9 months, and Corten steel products are incredibly durable and long-lasting, degrading at a significantly slower pace than other steel options.
Mild steel does not have that same effect, which means when exposed to the elements, it will begin to corrode at a much faster rate and will require replacement sooner. The weathering process will take around 12-18 months to complete.
- Cost
Another major difference between Corten steel and mild steel is their price point. Mild steel is a very affordable solution, whereas our Corten products will typically cost around 50% more on average.
While this can require a higher initial investment, Corten steel is able to last longer and often has a more attractive finish, which makes it a popular choice for use in both commercial and residential settings.
Delivery
Delivery Information and FAQ’s
How much does it cost?
Due to the heavy nature and size of the products we offer, our delivery charges are based upon the size and weight of a product. Most of our products are dispatched on a pallet with a tail lift offload. Smaller items and longer lengths are usually sent via DX Courier. Delivery charges are calculated in the basket and checkout after entering your postcode and our website is designed to offer you the most cost effective method of delivery.
Why do you charge for delivery?
The delivery charge covers the cost of processing, packing, checking and finally delivering your goods. Every order that we dispatch is processed then either selected from stock, or fabricated to order, quality checked and packaged to ensure it arrives with you in pristine condition. The costs of this process and the materials used are not added into the product cost and we simply charge what is needed to cover our costs.
Where do you deliver to?
We can deliver items all over the UK.
Our website only calculates shipping costs to Mainland UK. The following locations are excluded:-
- Northern Ireland
- Highlands and Scottish Islands
- All Off-Shore are excluded
Please contact us if you require delivery to any of these locations as we may be able to assist.
Unfortunately we are unable to ship internationally.
How long will I wait for my order to be delivered?
For stock items we aim to dispatch within 5-7 working days.
For made-to-order items, our lead times are stated on each product.
Once your order is complete, we will contact you via email to arrange delivery. Please note we do not ship any items until we have your confirmation.
We always endeavour to keep customers updated as to their delivery but once an item leaves us it is in the hands of the delivery company and we cannot be held responsible for any delays in delivery once the item has left us. All customers receiving a pallet delivery can select their preferred delivery date directly with Palletways by using their “book in” service. Tracking is available and customers will be sent a link to the tracking following dispatch of the order.
If items are larger than 2 metres in length then these cannot be shipped on a pallet. We do offer our own delivery service which is charged per mile and is used for items that cannot fit onto a pallet.
Some larger items can be delivered via DX who accept items of this nature (dependent on their overall weight).
I’d like my order to be left in a safe place or with a neighbour if I’m not in. Can you arrange this?
If you advise us of a safe place to leave the item in the event that you are not home, we will pass this information onto the courier. Since our deliveries require a signature; if you do choose to provide a safe place then we cannot accept responsibility for goods once they have been left.
Our Shipping Partners
DX
Our smaller items and lengths over 2 metres are shipped with DX as this is the most cost effective delivery method for such items.
Delivery is a next day service available Monday to Friday only.
Pallet Delivery – Palletways
Most of our items are delivered on a pallet due to weight. We use the Palletways Network for our pallet deliveries.
When an order is dispatched, our clients are usually offered a “book in” service which means that Palletways will contact you directly to book in a suitable delivery date once they have your pallet in their possession.
Deliveries can take place Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm.
Pallet orders will be dropped kerbside only. We do not offer a two-man delivery service.
Pallet deliveries are not timed and as such usual delivery times are between 9am and 5pm. The tracking will be able to advise you when your order is “Out for Delivery” and Palletways will send a text message advising of a 2 hour delivery slot once the pallet has been loaded for delivery.
Pallets can be left in a customer’s absence if there is a suitable place to do so.
Access for pallet deliveries
It is important that a 7.5 tonne lorry (or larger) with a tail lift can access your property if pallet delivery of your item(s) is required. Some items can only be delivered on a pallet. We ask our customers to be aware of the access requirements and contact us should they have any queries prior to placing an order.
For more information on pallet deliveries see Rules for delivering your pallet (youtube.com)
Tracking
Once we have dispatched an order (pallets only), we will provide you with a tracking link which will enable you track your delivery. Please note that where more than one item is expected, sometimes the couriers can deliver items separately so please allow a little extra time for additional items to arrive. Please be assured we always ship an order at the same time (unless we have agreed alternative arrangements with you).
General Guarantee – Returns Policy
We hope that all our customers are satisfied with their products. If you are unhappy with your purchase you can return it in perfect condition and in the original packaging within 14 days of purchase for a replacement or full refund (bespoke items are excluded from this unless they are damaged or faulty).
Returns postage will only be refunded if the item is damaged, faulty or if the wrong items have been sent. We do not accept responsibility for damaged or lost parcels on return. Please CONTACT US if you wish to return an item.
We reserve the right to deduct an amount from any refund due should there be any damage to the product caused by you, that makes the product unsaleable. For example, if the product had any obvious signs of use.
Damaged Goods
We go to great lengths to protect our products with protective wrapping and packaging to ensure that your purchase reaches you in perfect condition. In the unlikely event that your goods are damaged on arrival please CONTACT US with a picture of the damage as soon as possible so that we can raise this with our delivery partners and resolve the matter as soon as possible.
If you can see that an item has arrived ‘damaged’ upon delivery, please sign for the item as ‘damaged on arrival’. You must also notify us within 7 days of receipt, so that we may arrange for collection or replacement of the damaged item. Failure to notify us of any damage within 7 days of delivery will mean we are unable to proceed with a claim from our delivery partners and as such any replacements or refunds will be at our sole discretion.
