What is the primary purpose of this product?
Its primary purpose is to create defined and decorative borders for lawns, garden beds, and pathways, enhancing the visual appeal and organization of your garden.
How do I connect the fence sections together?
The fence sections are designed to interlock. Simply align and push them together to form a continuous border.
Is this product suitable for all types of gardens?
Yes, it is suitable for most garden types, including lawns, flower beds, and pathways. Ensure the ground is suitable for stake insertion.
How long will the plastic last outdoors?

Can I create curves with this border?
Yes, the flexible nature of the plastic allows for the creation of gentle curves to suit various garden designs.
Does it require any special tools for installation?
Generally, no special tools are required. The stakes are designed to be pushed into the ground by hand or with the aid of a rubber mallet for harder soil.
Troubleshooting
Fence sections are unstable
Ensure stakes are fully inserted into the ground. If the ground is very hard, consider moistening it slightly or using a rubber mallet to gently tap stakes in. Ensure adjacent sections are securely interlocked.
Difficulty inserting stakes into hard ground
Water the ground thoroughly before installation to soften it. Alternatively, pre-dig small holes or use a rubber mallet for gentle tapping.
Color fading over time
While designed for outdoor use, prolonged intense sun exposure can cause fading. This is a natural characteristic of plastic exposed to UV. For significant fading, replacement of sections may be considered.
Cracking in cold weather
Plastic can become brittle in freezing temperatures. Avoid significant impacts or bending of the fence during extreme cold. If cracking occurs, the affected section may need replacement.
