FAQs
How do I make the edging easier to shape?
It is recommended to leave the edging out of its packaging to relax. If it remains stiff, soaking it in warm water for about 5 minutes will make it much more pliable and easier to mold into your desired shape.
What is the best way to install the edging?
After softening the edging, position it along your desired line and use the included ground pegs to secure it firmly into the soil at regular intervals. Ensure pegs are fully inserted for stability.
Can this edging be used for sharp corners?
While flexible, creating very sharp, 90-degree angles may require careful bending and additional pegs to maintain the shape. Gentle curves are more easily achieved.
How many pegs are included?
The product comes with 200 ground pegs.
What is the height of the lawn edging?
The edging has a height of 3.7cm.
Will this edging contain soil or mulch?
The 3.7cm height is primarily for visual separation and preventing grass encroachment. It is not designed to retain significant amounts of soil or deep mulch.
How do I clean the lawn edging?
A simple wipe down with a damp cloth is usually sufficient. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or chemicals that could damage the material.
Troubleshooting
Edging is too stiff to bend into shape.
Ensure the edging has been left out of its packaging to relax. If still stiff, soak it in warm water for 5 minutes before attempting to shape it.
Edging does not stay in place.
Ensure ground pegs are fully inserted into the soil. Consider adding more pegs, especially on uneven ground or in windy locations. Check that the edging is positioned correctly against the soil.
Grass is still growing over the edge.
Ensure the edging is installed with the top edge slightly above the soil line. For significant grass pressure, consider burying the edging slightly deeper or using additional pegs for support.
Edging appears to be shrinking or warping.
This can occur with extreme temperature fluctuations. Ensure adequate pegging to maintain shape. If warping is significant, consider if the material has been excessively heated or stressed during installation.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Unpack the edging and unroll it completely. It is recommended to leave it out of its packaging for a period to allow it to relax and become more pliable.
- If the edging still feels stiff, soak it in warm water for approximately 5 minutes. This significantly improves its flexibility for shaping.
- Position the softened edging along your desired garden line.
- Use the included ground pegs to secure the edging firmly into the soil at regular intervals (approximately every 30-50 cm).
Compatibility:
This lawn edging is compatible with most soil types. It is designed for use on level or gently sloping ground. It can be used to create borders for flower beds, vegetable patches, pathways, and decorative stone areas.
Care:
- Clean with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Inspect regularly for any signs of damage or wear and replace sections if necessary.
- Ensure pegs remain secure, especially after heavy rain or strong winds.
