Corten 1400 Troughs
The Corten 1400 trough is the backbone of many large-scale landscape projects — substantial, versatile, and built for longevity. Its generous proportions allow for deep planting volumes and architectural rhythm across façades, courtyards, or public spaces.
Designers specify it for its balanced proportions and the rich, natural patina that develops over time, grounding contemporary materials like glass and concrete with warmth and texture.
Beyond aesthetics, it’s a workhorse: engineered for stability, easy installation, and minimal maintenance once in place. Because Tiny Anvil keeps the 1400 Corten trough in regular stock, it’s often the fast-track solution for contractors facing tight deadlines or value-engineering pressures late in a project.
Whether installed as a stand-alone statement or in continuous runs, it delivers visual weight, cohesion, and a sense of permanence that only weathered steel can offer.
Corten 1200 Troughs
The Corten 1200 trough is a versatile workhorse that bridges the gap between large architectural statement pieces and the finer detailing of commercial landscapes. Its proportions make it ideal for terraces, podiums, courtyards, and entryways where balance, scale, and visual rhythm are key.
Designers often use the 1200 in repeating runs or tiered groupings, creating cohesion without overwhelming the space. Like all Tiny Anvil corten pieces, it’s designed to weather beautifully — developing a deep, organic patina that softens modern materials and connects built environments to the natural world. With a robust wall thickness and stable form, it performs as well in high-traffic urban settings as it does in private garden courtyards.
Readily available from stock, the 1200 Corten trough helps meet tight project timelines while maintaining the design integrity that defines high-quality commercial landscapes.
Black Powder-Coated 1400 Troughs
The Black Powder-Coated 1400 trough delivers a refined architectural presence — crisp, contemporary, and engineered for demanding commercial environments. Its generous scale provides the same visual strength as the Corten 1400, but with a sleek, modern edge that complements steel, concrete, and glass palettes.
Available in both Gloss and Matte black finishes, it allows designers to fine-tune the tone of a project — from bold contrast to quiet integration. Precision-finished and sealed for long-term durability, the Black 1400 is ideal for corporate courtyards, retail laneways, and hospitality terraces where a clean aesthetic and low-maintenance performance are paramount.
Designed in New Zealand to meet the expectations of architects and contractors who demand reliability at scale, the Black 1400 Trough is held in regular stock for fast turnaround. It’s a go-to solution for projects that need to move quickly — without sacrificing the detail, consistency, and polish that define high-end outdoor design.
