Product Information
Full details
The Primrose Flexible Garden Edging is designed for gardeners seeking a clean, defined border for their beds, pathways, and lawns. It offers a simple way to achieve a neat finish, allowing for easy grass trimming up to the edge. A potential consideration is its 6mm depth, which may be less suitable for very deep-rooted plants or areas prone to significant ground movement.

FAQs
What material is the garden edging made from?
The edging is made from durable plastic.
How long is each piece of edging?
Each unit is 100cm (1 meter) in length.
How many pins are included with this 1m unit?
This specific unit includes four sturdy pins for installation.
Can this edging be used for sharp corners?
The edging is flexible and can create gentle curves. For very sharp 90-degree corners, you may need to make careful cuts or use corner pieces if available separately.
What is the height and depth of the edging?
The edging is 6cm high and 6mm deep.
Is this edging suitable for heavy-duty applications?
This edging is designed for decorative bordering and neat finishes. It is not intended for heavy-duty use or retaining walls.
How do I connect multiple pieces of edging?
Multiple pieces can be placed end-to-end. For a secure join, ensure the ends meet snugly and use pins on both sides of the join point.
Troubleshooting
Edging is difficult to bend into desired shape.
Slightly warm the plastic with warm water (not boiling) to increase flexibility. Ensure you are not forcing sharp angles that exceed the material's natural bend radius.
Pins are not holding the edging securely.
Ensure the ground is firm enough for the pins to penetrate adequately. If the soil is very loose, consider using longer stakes or tamping the soil around the pins.
Edging appears uneven after installation.
Check that the ground level is consistent along the border. Adjust the depth of the edging or the ground underneath to create a straight line. Ensure pins are driven in vertically.
Plastic becomes brittle in cold weather.
Avoid significant bending or installation in freezing temperatures, as plastic can become less pliable. It is best to install or adjust during milder weather.
