Full details

This Selections metal lawn edging is for homeowners looking to create crisp, modern borders for their gardens. Its key benefit is providing a clean, defined separation between lawns, paths, and beds with a durable, galvanized steel construction.

Troubleshooting

Edging is difficult to shape into tight curves.

Gently bend the metal, taking care not to crease it. For very tight curves, you may need to make small relief cuts with metal snips on the underside of the edging, but ensure these do not compromise its structural integrity.

Edging will not stay in the ground.

Ensure the ground is adequately softened (e.g., after rain). Tap the edging in firmly with a rubber mallet. If the ground is very hard, consider digging a shallow trench first for easier insertion.

Edging appears to be rusting.

Inspect the coating for scratches. Minor surface rust on galvanized steel can sometimes be normal. If significant rust occurs, consider touching up with a suitable metal paint designed for outdoor use, after cleaning and preparing the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Prepare the area by marking out the desired edge.
  2. Unroll the galvanized steel edging.
  3. Gently shape the edging to follow the marked line, accommodating curves as needed.
  4. For straight lines or tight curves, use metal snips to cut the edging to the precise length.

Compatibility:

This lawn edging is suitable for use with most soil types. It is designed to be used around lawns, flower beds, vegetable patches, and pathways. It is compatible with standard garden tools for installation and modification.

Care:

While galvanized steel offers good corrosion resistance, regular inspection is recommended. Clean off any accumulated soil or debris with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch the galvanized coating. In areas prone to harsh weather or prolonged moisture, ensure the base is well-drained to prolong the life of the edging.
