FAQs
What material is the log edging made from?
The edging is made from pressure-treated timber.
How long is each log section?
Each log section measures 100cm (approximately 3.28 feet).
Does this pack come with fixings?
No, each log section has three integral spikes for direct insertion into the ground, eliminating the need for separate fixings.
How do I connect the log sections together?
The log sections are designed to be placed end-to-end. For a continuous border, simply align them closely together.
Will the timber rot over time?
The timber is pressure-treated to provide protection against rot and decay, significantly extending its lifespan in outdoor conditions.
Can I bend the edging to create curves?
These horizontal half-round logs are best suited for straight lines or gentle curves. Sharp turns may be difficult to achieve with this design.
How often should I apply wood treatment?
While pressure-treated, applying a wood preservative or sealant annually can help maintain the appearance and further protect the timber, especially if you wish to prevent fading.
Troubleshooting
Log edging is wobbly or unstable.
Ensure the integral spikes are pushed firmly and vertically into the soil. If the ground is hard, consider moistening it slightly first or using a rubber mallet to gently tap the logs into place. Check that adjacent logs are properly connected.
Difficulty inserting spikes into hard ground.
Lightly water the area where you intend to place the edging to soften the soil. Alternatively, use a small spade or trowel to create pilot holes before inserting the spikes.
Wood appears to be fading or drying out.
Apply a clear wood preserver, stain, or sealant suitable for garden timber. This will help to restore the appearance and provide additional protection.
