FAQs

What material are the borders made from?

The borders are made from a durable, weather-resistant material designed to mimic the look of brick.

How many borders are included in a set?

Each set includes four (4) border sections.

Can I use these borders for a vegetable garden?

Yes, they are suitable for defining vegetable garden beds, providing a neat edge.

Are these suitable for steep slopes?

These borders are best suited for relatively level ground. Installation on steep slopes may be difficult and less stable.

How do I measure how many sets I need?

Measure the total length of the border you wish to create in feet or meters. Divide this total length by the length of one border section (or the total length provided by the set) to estimate the number of sets required.

Will these keep out weeds?

The borders provide a visual and physical separation, which can help deter shallow-rooted weeds from spreading into planted areas, but they are not a complete weed barrier.

Can I paint or modify the borders?

Modifying or painting the borders is not recommended as it may affect the material's durability and appearance.

Troubleshooting

Border sections do not connect securely.

Ensure the soil is sufficiently loosened and the interlocking mechanisms on the sections are clean and free of debris. Push firmly until a secure connection is felt.

Border sections lean or fall over.

Ensure each section is inserted deep enough into the ground. If the ground is very soft, consider adding extra support or compacting the soil around the base.

Difficulty in creating sharp corners.

Slightly pre-bend the border sections before insertion if needed, or ensure there is enough space in the soil to accommodate the desired angle without stressing the material.

Appearance degrades after prolonged exposure to elements.

While designed for outdoor use, extreme conditions may affect the finish. Clean gently and consider a protective sealant if extensive fading or wear is observed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Plan your desired border shape.
  2. Loosen the soil along the planned edge.
  3. Insert the pointed end of each border section firmly into the ground, ensuring they connect securely to the adjacent pieces.
  4. Adjust for straight lines, curves, or corners as needed.

Compatibility:

This product is designed for use in standard garden soil. It is compatible with most soil types but may be more challenging to install in very hard, rocky, or compacted ground. Ensure the ground is relatively level for best results.

Care:

Clean with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. Periodically check the borders for stability, especially after periods of heavy rain or frost, and re-secure if necessary.
