FAQs
Is this edging rust-proof?
The edging has a rust-effect finish; it is designed to withstand outdoor conditions, though it may weather naturally over time.
Can I cut this material?
Yes, it can be cut with appropriate metal-cutting shears, though you should file down any sharp edges after cutting.
Is this safe for pets?
Once properly installed in the ground, it is generally safe; however, be mindful of exposed sharp edges during and immediately after installation.
How deep should I bury the edging?
For best stability, we recommend burying at least 5-10cm of the edging in the ground, depending on your soil type and desired height.
Can this be used for raised beds?
This product is primarily designed as ground-level edging. It may not provide enough structural support for high-walled raised beds.
Troubleshooting
Edging keeps tilting or falling over
Ensure the edging is buried deep enough (at least 1/3 of its height) and pack the soil firmly on both sides.
Difficulty bending around tight corners
Do not force sharp angles; create a wider radius curve instead, or use a pair of pliers to carefully create a crease if a sharp corner is absolutely necessary.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Flexible material allows for custom curves and creative shapes
- Durable metal construction stands up to outdoor elements
- Distinctive terracotta finish provides a rustic, high-end aesthetic
- Helps prevent soil erosion and keeps lawn grasses from invading flower beds
- Generous 6-metre length provides excellent coverage for garden projects
Cons
- Metal edges may be sharp and require careful handling
- Requires manual effort to hammer or press securely into the ground
- Finish may develop further natural weathering over long-term exposure
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure the ground is relatively soft or use a spade to create a guide trench. Use a rubber mallet to gently tap the edging into place if the soil is dense, using a scrap piece of wood between the mallet and the metal to protect the finish.
Compatibility: This edging is compatible with most soil types, including sandy, loamy, and clay soils. It works effectively alongside landscaping fabric to further suppress weed growth.
Care: Periodic maintenance is minimal. If the surface becomes dusty or muddy, a quick spray with a garden hose will restore the look. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip the rust-effect finish.
