Troubleshooting
Edging is not stable
Ensure spikes are fully inserted into the ground. If soil is very hard, loosen it before insertion. For uneven ground, adjust the position or add soil for support.
Difficulty inserting spikes
Soften the ground with water before attempting insertion. Remove any stones or debris obstructing the spikes. If necessary, use a rubber mallet to gently tap the logs into place.
Timber appears to be degrading prematurely
Inspect for signs of fungal growth or insect damage. Ensure adequate drainage around the edging to prevent constant moisture saturation. Consider applying a protective wood treatment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unpack the Rowlinson Horizontal Log Edging.
- Identify the desired location for your pathway or border.
- Position the first log segment, ensuring the integrated spikes are pointing downwards.

- For continuous lines, place subsequent log segments adjacent to the first, aligning them as needed.
Compatibility:
This product is designed for use in standard garden soil. It is compatible with most garden soil types, but extremely rocky or compacted soil may require pre-loosening for easier spike insertion. It is suitable for creating borders around lawns, flower beds, and pathways.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe clean with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Maintenance: The timber is pressure-treated for rot resistance. However, for extended longevity and to maintain its appearance, consider applying a suitable wood preservative or sealant annually, especially in damp or exposed conditions.
- Inspection: Periodically check the edging for stability and the condition of the timber.
