FAQs
What is the thickness of the Nature Garden Border Edging?
The edging is 3 mm thick.
How long is the roll of edging?
The roll is 10 meters long.
Can this edging be used around a pond?
Yes, it is suitable for use as an edge around your pond.
Do I need to buy stakes separately?
While the edging can be secured with soil, stakes are often recommended for added stability, especially in certain ground conditions. Stakes are not included with the edging.
Is the black color fade-resistant?
The edging is designed for outdoor use, but like most plastic materials exposed to prolonged sunlight, some fading may occur over time. It offers good UV resistance for its intended lifespan.
Can I cut the edging to size?
Yes, the plastic material is easy to cut with appropriate tools such as a utility knife or strong scissors.
What kind of soil is best for installation?
The edging works well in most standard garden soils. For very loose or sandy soils, using stakes will greatly improve its stability.
Troubleshooting
Edging is too rigid to bend into desired shape
Lay the edging out in direct sunlight for 30-60 minutes to soften the plastic, making it more pliable.
Edging is not staying upright or in place
Ensure the trench is dug deep enough and backfilled firmly. Use garden stakes (sold separately) at regular intervals to provide additional support.
Edging cracked during installation
Avoid forcing sharp bends, especially in colder temperatures. If minor cracks occur, they may be temporarily sealed with a strong, waterproof adhesive suitable for plastics, though this is not a permanent solution.
Color appears to be fading
Fading is a natural effect of prolonged UV exposure. While the material is UV resistant, some fading over years is possible. Ensure the edging is fully buried where possible to minimize direct sun exposure.
