FAQs

How do I cut the edging to fit a specific space?

Use a hand saw or a circular saw to cut the wooden edging to the desired length. Ensure to measure accurately before cutting.

Can I paint or stain the edging?

Yes, you can paint or stain the edging to match your garden's aesthetic. However, ensure you use a suitable outdoor wood treatment.

How deep do the spikes need to go?

The spikes should be inserted deep enough to provide stability, typically a few inches into the ground. Ensure the edging is level after insertion.

What happens if the ground is very hard?

If the ground is too hard, try softening it with water or a spade before installing the edging. You might need to use a rubber mallet to gently tap the edging into place.

Is the liner replaceable?

Yes, although the liner is pre-fitted, it can be replaced if damaged. You can use a similar liner material available at most garden centers.

What is the lifespan of the edging?

With proper installation and care, the pressure-treated timber and the 15-year anti-rot guarantee ensures the edging will last for many years.

Can I use this edging on a slope?

Yes, you can use the edging on a gentle slope. However, ensure the ground is stable, and you may need to adjust the installation to accommodate the slope.

Troubleshooting

Edging is not stable.

Ensure the spikes are fully inserted into the ground. If the ground is too hard, try softening the soil with water or a spade. For extra stability in loose soil, consider using additional stakes or supports.

The liner is visible or damaged.

Carefully adjust the edging to ensure the liner is concealed or replace the damaged sections. Avoid using sharp tools near the liner during installation.

Rotting or decay appears after some time.

Check if the wood has been damaged by pests, weather, or other factors. The 15-year guarantee covers rot but it requires evidence that it has occurred.
