Troubleshooting
Panels are difficult to insert into the ground.
The ground may be too hard or frozen. Wait for softer conditions, or gently moisten the area. For very firm ground, consider pre-loosening the soil slightly with a trowel.
Panels do not interlock securely.
Ensure the interlocking ends are clean and free of debris. Check that the panels are aligned correctly and push them firmly together until they engage properly.
Border is not staying upright.
Ensure the spikes are inserted as deeply as possible into the ground. If the ground is very soft, consider using additional stakes for extra support, especially on longer runs.
Plastic appears brittle or difficult to bend.
The borders should be stored and used at room temperature or above. If they feel stiff, allow them to warm up before attempting to position or bend them.
