FAQs
What is the exact length and height of the edging?
The edging comes in a roll of 40 meters in length and has a height of 4 centimeters.
How many pegs are included?
Each 40-meter roll comes with a set of 40 plastic pegs.
Can I cut this edging to size?
Yes, the plastic material can be quickly and easily cut to size before installation using a utility knife or strong scissors.
What kind of garden areas is this edging suitable for?
It is perfect for flowerbeds, pathways, patios, and general landscaping to create crisp, clean lines.
How do I best secure the edging in curves?
For curves, ensure pegs are spaced closer together and tap them in at an angle that complements the curve. Gentle bending of the plastic will allow it to follow sweeping lines.
What color is the lawn edging?
The lawn edging is brown.
Will this edging withstand strong winds?
The included pegs provide stability, but in very windy areas, you may need to use additional pegs or consider supplementary securing methods for maximum strength.
Troubleshooting
Edging is not holding its shape
Ensure pegs are fully inserted into the soil and spaced adequately. For curves, pegs may need to be closer together. Consider using additional pegs if the ground is soft or the shape is complex.
Pegs are difficult to insert
Slightly moisten the soil. If the ground is very hard, you may need to use a rubber mallet to gently tap the pegs in, but be careful not to apply excessive force to avoid breaking them.
Edging appears flimsy
Ensure the correct side is facing outwards as intended for stability. Check that all pegs are securely in place. The 4cm height is standard; if a deeper border is required, consider alternative products.
Plastic edging cracking or breaking
This may occur in extreme cold. Allow the plastic to warm up in the sun if possible. Avoid bending it sharply in cold weather. If a section has broken, it can be replaced with a newly cut piece.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Plan Your Layout: Determine the desired shape and length of your border.
- Prepare the Area: Clear any debris, rocks, or roots from the intended path of the edging.
- Cut to Size (Optional): If necessary, use a sharp utility knife or strong scissors to cut the plastic edging to your required lengths. Do this on a flat surface.
- Position the Edging: Place the edging along your marked line or desired boundary.
- Secure with Pegs: Insert the plastic pegs through the edging and into the soil. Space them evenly, approximately every 30-40cm, ensuring they are pushed in firmly to provide stability. For curves, pegs may need to be placed closer together.
Compatibility:
This edging is suitable for most soil types. It is designed for use in garden beds, around trees, along pathways, and on patios. It is compatible with both straight lines and gentle to moderate curves.
Care:
Clean the plastic edging with a damp cloth as needed to remove dirt or debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. While durable, prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures or harsh chemicals could potentially affect the plastic over time. Ensure pegs remain firmly in the soil to maintain the edging's position.
