Transform Your Backyard with Corten Steel: The Ultimate Outdoor Living Upgrade

Bring Bold, Modern Style to Your Backyard

Imagine your backyard as a sleek, sculptural retreat—designed for entertaining, relaxing, and lasting through every Texas season. With Corten steel, that vision becomes reality.

At Designer Exteriors, we use this weathered metal to craft one-of-a-kind outdoor features that are as functional as they are beautiful. Whether you’re starting from scratch or upgrading your current space, Corten is the material of choice for modern outdoor living in Dallas-Fort Worth.

Why Corten Steel Works for Outdoor Living

Corten steel, or weathering steel, forms a protective rust-colored patina over time. This natural process makes the material incredibly durable, even in the heat and humidity of North Texas. Its earthy tone blends effortlessly with stone, turf, and native landscaping, creating a high-end look with minimal maintenance.
