FAQs
What is the length of the roll?

How many pegs are included?

Can this edging be cut?
Yes, the plastic material can be quickly and easily cut to size before installation using appropriate cutting tools.
Is it suitable for very sharp corners?
While flexible, it is best suited for gentle curves and straight lines. Very sharp or 90-degree angles may require specialized corner pieces or creative cutting and securing.
What is the height of the edging?

How do I clean the lawn edging?
You can clean the edging with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers.
Can I leave it in the ground year-round?
Yes, the durable polyethylene construction is designed for outdoor, year-round use. However, extreme cold might make the plastic less flexible.
Troubleshooting
Edging is difficult to bend into tight curves.
Gently warm the plastic with a hairdryer on a low setting, or allow it to sit in direct sunlight for a short period before shaping. Be careful not to overheat.
Pegs are not holding the edging securely.
Ensure pegs are fully inserted into the ground. If the soil is very loose, consider using longer stakes or reinforcing with additional soil or small stones around the base.
Edging does not maintain its shape.
Increase the frequency of peg placement, especially on curves. Ensure the trench is deep enough and the soil is compacted firmly around the base of the edging.
Plastic appears brittle or cracked after installation.
This can occur with extreme temperature fluctuations. Ensure the product has not been subjected to excessive force during installation in cold weather. If minor cracks occur, they can sometimes be sealed with a suitable plastic adhesive.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

- Prepare the Area: Dig a shallow trench along the planned line.
- Shape the Edging: Gently bend the plastic edging to follow your desired line (straight or curved).
- Install: Place the edging into the trench. Use the included plastic pegs to secure it at intervals, tapping them into the soil through the pre-drilled holes in the edging. Use pegs more frequently for curves or where extra stability is needed.

Care:

- Inspect periodically for stability and re-secure pegs if necessary.
- While durable, prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures may affect material flexibility over time.
