FAQs
How many pieces are typically included in a pack?
Product packaging details will specify the number of pieces per pack. Please refer to the specific product listing for this information.
Can these edgings be cut to size?
These pieces are designed to connect seamlessly. While they can be bent, they are not intended to be cut. Custom lengths are achieved by connecting multiple pieces.
Are these suitable for retaining walls?
These edgings are designed for delineating garden beds and paths. They are not intended for use as retaining walls as they lack the structural integrity for significant soil pressure.
How deep should the stakes be inserted?
The stakes should be inserted as deep as possible into the soil to ensure maximum stability and prevent the edging from moving.
What is the height of the edging?
The product is described as low profile, meaning it is primarily visible where required, keeping the focus on plants. Specific dimensions would be available on the product packaging or listing.
Can I use these on a slope?
Yes, they can be used on slopes. Ensure stakes are firmly planted into the slope and adjust connections as needed to follow the terrain.
How do I protect them from frost heave?
While the galvanised coating offers weather resistance, extreme frost heave can impact stability. Ensure stakes are deeply embedded and consider adding mulch to insulate the soil around the base.
Troubleshooting
Edging pieces feel loose or unstable
Ensure the bottom stakes are hammered deep enough into the soil. For very soft ground, consider adding additional soil support around the stakes or using supplemental anchors.
Connecting pieces is difficult
Ensure the connecting bolts are aligned correctly and that there is no debris obstructing the connection point. Lightly tap pieces together if needed.
Edging does not hold a curved shape
Gently bend the steel to the desired curve before fully securing the connection. Ensure stakes are placed strategically on the outside of the curve to maintain tension.
Visible rust spots appearing
This may indicate a compromised galvanised coating. While functional, for aesthetic concerns, a touch-up with a suitable metal paint designed for galvanised surfaces can be applied, ensuring the coating is fully dry before further use.
