FAQs
What material is the lawn edging made from?
The lawn edging is made from hard-wearing, maintenance-free PP plastic.
How long is each section and how much coverage does one pack provide?
Each section measures W25 x H10cm. A pack of 10 sections covers a total of 2.4 meters.
Can I create sharp corners with this edging?
The edging is designed for straight lines and gentle curves. Sharp corners may be difficult to achieve without buckling or gaps.
Do I need any special tools to install the edging?
No special tools are required. You will typically need a rubber mallet or hammer to tap the spikes into the ground.
Is the edging suitable for all types of soil?
It is suitable for most garden soils. Installation may be difficult in extremely hard, rocky, or compacted ground.
How do I clean the lawn edging?
The PP plastic is maintenance-free. If it gets dirty, a simple wipe with a damp cloth is sufficient.
Can the edging be used around ponds?
Yes, it can be used to create neat borders around ponds and other water features.
Troubleshooting
Edging sections won't interlock smoothly.
Ensure the interlocking tabs and slots are clean and free from debris. Check alignment carefully and gently adjust the angle of the sections before tapping them fully into the ground.
Spikes are difficult to push into the ground.
Lightly moisten the ground beforehand. If the ground is very hard or rocky, consider using a different location or softening the ground with water. A rubber mallet can provide more controlled force than a hammer.
Edging feels unstable after installation.
Ensure each spike is tapped fully into the ground. If installed on a slope or in very soft soil, consider adding extra stability by gently pushing soil against the base of the edging on both sides.
The finished edge does not hold a desired curve.
Ensure each section is securely interlocked. For tighter curves, you may need to adjust the angle of each spike slightly as you install them. Do not force sharp bends; the edging is designed for gentle curves.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unpack the 10 sections of lawn edging.

- Position the first section and gently tap the 12cm spike into the ground using a rubber mallet or hammer. Ensure it is firm.
- Connect the next section by aligning its interlocking edge with the previous one and tapping it into place.
- Continue this process, gently curving or straightening as needed, until the desired length is covered.
- Ensure all sections are securely interlocked and tapped firmly into the ground for stability.
