The edging is constructed from durable metal.
Is this edging suitable for all types of gardens?

Troubleshooting
Edging sections are difficult to push into the ground.
Ensure the ground is adequately moist. If the soil is very hard or rocky, consider using a heavier mallet or gently loosening the soil in the spike's path beforehand. Do not force the spike excessively, as this could bend it.
Edging sections do not connect securely with pegs.
Verify that the connecting slots on both sections are properly aligned. Ensure the metal peg is inserted fully and driven into the ground to provide tension and stability between the two pieces.
Edging appears to be leaning or unstable after installation.
Check that all integrated spikes are driven fully into the ground. Ensure the connecting pegs are securely in place and have anchored the sections firmly. For very soft ground, consider adding additional support or widening the base of the spike's anchor point.
Minor scratches or chips on the surface.
These are cosmetic and do not typically affect functionality. For aesthetic concerns, consider a touch-up paint suitable for metal and outdoor use, ensuring it matches the grey finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Determine the desired layout for your garden border.
- Place the first edging section in position.
- Using a rubber mallet or hammer, gently tap the integrated spike into the ground until the desired height is achieved and the saw-tooth edge is securely anchored.
- Position the next section adjacent to the first, ensuring the connecting slots align.
- Insert a metal peg through the aligned slots of both sections and tap it firmly into the ground to create a stable connection.
- Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each subsequent section, forming straight lines or gentle curves as needed.
Compatibility:
This edging is designed for use in most soil types, from soft garden soil to firmer ground. It is compatible with existing garden layouts and can be used around trees, shrubs, flower beds, and pathways. The metal construction is generally compatible with most standard garden tools for installation.
Care:
To maintain the appearance and longevity of the edging, periodically check for any loose connections and re-secure if necessary. Clean the surface with a damp cloth if dirt or debris accumulates. While designed for outdoor durability, avoid using abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch the finish, as this may expose the metal to the elements and potentially lead to rust over time.
