FAQs
What material is the garden edge fence made from?
The garden edge fence is made from durable, weather-resistant plastic with a wrought iron effect finish.
How many panels are included in a pack?
A standard pack contains 4 interlocking fence panels.
Can I extend the fence beyond the length of the included panels?
Yes, the panels are designed to interlock, allowing you to connect as many panels as you need to create custom lengths.
How are the fence panels installed?
Each panel has three ground spikes that are simply pushed into the soil or gravel for easy insertion.
Is this edging suitable for all types of soil?
It is suitable for soil, grass, and gravel. For very soft or uneven ground, additional stability measures might be beneficial.
Will the plastic rust or corrode over time?
No, as it is made of plastic, it will not rust or corrode like metal edging.
What are the dimensions of each panel?
Each panel has dimensions of approximately 0.07cm x 60.00cm x 33.00cm.
Troubleshooting
Panels are difficult to insert into the ground.
Loosen the soil slightly or moisten it before attempting insertion. Ensure the ground spikes are aligned correctly.
Panels do not interlock securely.
Check for any debris blocking the interlocking mechanism. Ensure the panels are straight and aligned properly before connecting.
Edging appears unstable or wobbly.
Ensure all ground spikes are fully inserted. If the ground is particularly soft, consider adding extra support at intervals or using a broader base material like compacted gravel.
The 'wrought iron effect' finish is damaged.
Minor scuffs can sometimes be touched up with plastic-safe paint. For significant damage, consider replacing the affected panel.
