Product Information
Full details
The Slingsby Garden Rake in green is an essential tool for homeowners and gardening enthusiasts who need to maintain clean lawns during autumn and winter. Its primary benefit is the ability to efficiently clear leaves and organic debris from grass surfaces without causing damage to the turf. While it is highly durable due to its aluminium shaft and oil-treated tines, users should note that its fixed head size is optimized for general yard clearing rather than precision work in tight, narrow flower beds.

FAQs
Is this rake suitable for gravel paths?
It is best used on grass or flat surfaces. Raking on deep gravel may result in the tines digging in and catching on stones.
Can I use this for scarifying my lawn?
This rake is designed for surface debris collection. It is not a heavy-duty scarifier and should not be used to forcibly remove thatch from the root zone.
How long is the handle?
The shaft is 54 inches long, providing an ergonomic reach for most adult users.
Does the metal head rust easily?
The tines are oil-treated to resist rust. However, keeping the tool dry after use and storing it indoors will maximize its lifespan.
Is the handle adjustable?
No, the 54-inch aluminium shaft is a fixed, one-piece construction for maximum durability and stability.
Troubleshooting
Tines have become slightly bent or misaligned
Gently use a pair of pliers to realign the affected metal tines to their original spacing.
Surface rust appearing on tines
Scrub the affected area with a wire brush, clean with a dry cloth, and apply a thin layer of protective oil.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The rake arrives fully assembled and ready for immediate use. No additional setup or hardware is required.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After use, tap the tines against a hard surface or use a gloved hand to remove stuck twigs and damp leaves.
- Storage: Hang the rake vertically in a shed or garage to prevent the tines from bending under weight and to keep the shaft away from floor moisture.
- Maintenance: Occasionally wipe the tines with a light machine oil if the finish begins to dull, which helps maintain the corrosion-resistant properties provided by the original oil treatment.
