FAQs
What is the total length of edging provided by this pack?
This pack contains 20 panels, each 106cm long, which interlock to provide a total of approximately 20 meters of edging.
How high does the edging sit above the ground?
With its 8cm long spiked feet, the panel sits approximately 8cm above the ground level.
Do I need any tools to assemble or install the edging?
No, the panels interlock by bending tabs together, and the spiked feet are pushed into the ground, so no additional tools are required for basic installation.
Can I use this edging for a raised garden bed?
The 8cm height is best suited for defining lawn edges or shallow borders. For deeper raised beds, you might need a different type of edging.
What material is the edging made from?
The edging is made from strong metal and is painted grey.
How do the panels connect to each other?
The panels connect using a system of tabs on each panel, which are bent together to create a secure interlock.
Is the grey paint finish durable?
The grey paint finish is designed for outdoor use. However, like any painted metal product, prolonged exposure to harsh weather may cause wear over time. Touch-up paint can be used for minor imperfections.
Troubleshooting
Panels do not interlock securely
Ensure the tabs are properly aligned and bent firmly. If the metal is difficult to bend, try gently loosening the soil around the spike base of one of the panels.
Spiked feet are difficult to push into the ground
Loosen the soil in the desired location with a trowel or fork before attempting to insert the spikes. Avoid installation in extremely rocky or compacted soil without prior preparation.
Edging appears unstable after installation
Verify that all panels are securely interlocked and that the spikes are fully inserted into the ground. For added stability on uneven ground, consider gently tamping the soil around the spikes.
Paint chipping or minor scratches
Small imperfections can be touched up with a suitable metal paint designed for outdoor use. For significant damage, consider replacing the affected panel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Determine the desired path or border layout.
- Take two adjacent panels and align their interlocking tabs.
- Bend the tabs together firmly to secure the panels. Repeat for all required panels to achieve the total desired length.
- Position the connected edging sections in place.
- Push the spiked feet of each panel firmly into the ground until the panel sits at the desired height (approximately 8cm above ground level).
Compatibility:
- This edging is designed for use in garden soil and soft ground. It is not intended for use on hard surfaces like concrete or paving.
- It is compatible with most standard garden soil types. Heavily compacted or rocky soil may require pre-loosening for easier installation.
Care:

- Periodically check the interlocks and spikes for stability.
- While painted grey, prolonged exposure to harsh weather may eventually lead to wear on the paint finish. Inspect for rust and consider a touch-up paint if necessary.
