FAQs
What tools do I need for installation?
You will need a shovel for trenching, a rubber mallet for driving in spikes, a pair of work gloves for safety, and a spirit level if you desire a perfectly level line.
Can these strips be cut to fit shorter lengths?
Yes, as the edging is made of steel, it can be cut using a hacksaw or an angle grinder with a metal-cutting disc. Always smooth the cut edge with a file afterward.
How many meters does one pack cover?
Each pack contains five 1060mm strips, providing approximately 5.3 meters of total edging length when installed end-to-end.
Is this edging rust-proof?
The edging features a protective black finish designed to resist corrosion. However, regular maintenance and touch-ups on exposed steel will help prolong its life in wet conditions.
Can I use this on a sloped garden?
Yes, the modular design allows for installation on slight inclines, though you may need to overlap or angle the strips carefully to follow the contour of the land.
Troubleshooting
Edging appears wobbly after installation
Ensure the ground spikes are driven deep enough into firm subsoil and verify the trench has been backfilled and compacted properly.
Difficulty connecting strips via the dual-lock
Check that the ends are free of debris or soil and ensure they are aligned on a level surface before sliding them together.
Edging is pulling up during freeze-thaw cycles
Re-drive the anchor spikes deeper or add additional stakes to provide extra resistance against soil movement.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation begins with clearing a narrow trench approximately 100-120mm deep along the desired garden border. Place the first EdgeMaster strip into the trench and engage the dual-lock mechanism with the next strip until the connection is tight. Using a rubber mallet, drive the provided ground spikes through the pre-drilled holes at a slight angle to ensure maximum grip in the subsoil. Backfill the trench with native soil or gravel and tamp down firmly to lock the edging in place. To maintain the system, ensure the soil remains compacted against the steel. If the finish becomes scratched during installation, a small amount of exterior-grade metal touch-up paint can prevent premature oxidation.
