FAQs
How many borders are included in a 7 pack?
A 7 pack contains 56 individual border sections, which create approximately 13.3 meters of continuous length.
What material are the garden borders made from?
The garden borders are made from strong and durable plastic.
Can these borders be used on a slope?
They are best suited for relatively flat or gently sloping ground. Installation on steep slopes may be challenging and require extra support.
Do I need any tools to install the edging?
No special tools are typically required. The sections are designed to be pushed into the ground by hand. A rubber mallet might be helpful for very firm ground.
How tall is each border section?
Each border section has a height of 285mm.
Will these borders help with weed control?
Yes, they can help reduce weed transfer between garden areas and eliminate the need for edge trimming, which often disturbs weed barriers.
How do I connect the border sections together?
Each section has an interlocking mechanism; they snap together securely by aligning the tab of one section with the slot of the next.
Troubleshooting
Sections do not interlock easily.
Ensure the interlocking tabs and slots are clean and free of debris. Check that the sections are aligned correctly; slight adjustments may be needed.
Border sections are not stable in the ground.
Ensure each section is pushed deep enough into the soil. If the ground is very loose, consider reinforcing the base of the first few sections or using additional stakes (not included) for extra support.
Edging appears uneven or wavy.
Re-evaluate the ground beneath the edging. Minor ground adjustments or a slight repositioning of sections may be needed to achieve a straighter line. For curves, ensure consistent pressure during installation.
Plastic shows signs of wear or fading.
While designed for outdoor use, prolonged exposure to intense sunlight can cause fading. Cleaning with mild soap and water can refresh the appearance. Consider using UV protectant sprays for extended longevity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unpack the 7-pack of garden edging.
- Identify the starting section and decide on the desired garden border path.
- Push the first border section firmly into the ground to its desired depth. Ensure it is stable.
- Take the next border section and align its interlocking tab with the corresponding slot on the previously placed section.
- Push the second section into the ground, ensuring a secure snap-fit with the first section.
- Continue this process, section by section, following your desired garden layout.
Compatibility:
This garden edging is designed for use in most standard garden soil types. It is most effective on relatively flat or gently sloping ground. It is not intended for use on concrete, gravel, or extremely rocky soil without prior ground preparation.
Care:
- Clean the edging periodically with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the plastic or its finish.
- In areas with very hard or frozen ground, refrain from forcing the sections, as this could cause damage.
