FAQs

How do I cut the logs to the correct size?

Use a hand saw or a circular saw to cut the logs to the desired length. Measure carefully before cutting.

What type of stakes should I use?

Wooden stakes or ground pins are ideal. Choose stakes that are long enough to provide sufficient support for the edging.

How far apart should I space the stakes?

Space the stakes approximately 1-2 feet apart for optimal stability. Adjust spacing based on the soil conditions and the length of the logs.

Can I use this edging on a slope?

Yes, but you may need to adjust the installation to accommodate the slope. Ensure the logs are level and the stakes are securely anchored.

How do I clean the edging?

Use a soft brush and water to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the wood.

How often should I apply sealant or stain?

Apply a wood sealant or stain annually to protect the wood from weathering and maintain its appearance.

Is the wood treated?

Yes, the Blooma Gydan Pine Horizontal Log Edging is green-treated to protect against rot and insect damage.

Troubleshooting

Edging logs are unstable or move easily.

Ensure the stakes are driven deep enough into the ground and that the logs are securely attached to the stakes. Consider using additional stakes for extra support.

Logs are not aligned properly or create uneven borders.

Use a level to ensure the logs are positioned at the same height. Adjust the stakes as needed to level the edging.

Wood is splitting or cracking.

Inspect the logs regularly and treat them with a wood sealant or preservative to prevent splitting. Ensure the logs are not overexposed to direct sunlight or moisture.
