FAQs
How long does the edging last?
With proper installation and care, the Nicoman Galvanised Steel Black Garden Border Edging can last for many years due to its durable construction.
Can I use this edging on a slope?
Yes, the flexible nature of the corrugated design allows it to be used on gentle slopes. Ensure the edging is securely anchored to prevent movement.
What tools do I need for installation?
You'll need a measuring tape, gloves, landscape staples or pins, a rubber mallet (optional), and tools for cutting the metal (such as tin snips).
How do I cut the edging?
Use metal cutting tools, such as tin snips or a metal saw. Always wear safety glasses and gloves.
Is the black color going to fade?
The black coating is designed to be weather-resistant. However, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause some fading over time.
Can I use this edging with a lawnmower?
Yes, the edging can be used along lawns, but be mindful when mowing to avoid damaging the edging. Consider the height of the edging in relation to your lawnmower's cutting height.
Troubleshooting
Edging is not staying in place.
Ensure the edging is properly secured with landscape staples. Check the ground for any obstructions and clear them. Re-tamp the soil around the edging.
Edging appears bent or misshapen.
Carefully straighten the edging. If the bending is severe, consider using a rubber mallet to gently reshape the metal. Check that the ground is level to minimise stress on the edging.
Difficulty cutting the edging.
Use appropriate metal cutting tools, such as tin snips or a metal saw. Always wear safety glasses and gloves when cutting the edging.
Rust appearing on the edging.
While galvanised steel resists rust, inspect the edging periodically for any signs of damage to the protective coating. If rust appears, clean the affected area and apply a rust-resistant paint.
