FAQs

What is Aluzinc?

Aluzinc is a protective metallic coating composed of an alloy of aluminium (around 55%) and zinc (around 45%). It offers excellent corrosion resistance and durability.

How long is each roll?

Each roll of Aluzinc lawn edging is 4 metres long.

Can I cut the edging to a specific length?

Yes, the metal can be cut to your desired length using standard tin snips.

Will this edging rust over time?

The Aluzinc coating provides superior rust resistance compared to traditional galvanised steel, significantly prolonging its lifespan and appearance in outdoor conditions.

Is it safe to use near a lawnmower or strimmer?

Yes, the durable construction is designed to withstand impacts from lawnmowers and strimmers without significant damage or corrosion.

Can I create rounded shapes with this edging?

Yes, the metal is flexible and can be bent to create gentle curves and rounded borders. Very tight radii may require careful shaping.

Is the product recyclable?

Yes, the Aluzinc material is 100% recyclable, making it an eco-friendly choice for landscaping.

Troubleshooting

Edging is difficult to bend into tight curves.

Gently bend the edging by hand or use a soft mallet to shape it against a curved surface. Avoid sharp, forced bends that could crease the metal.

Edging is not staying upright.

Ensure the trench is deep enough and soil is firmly compacted around the base of the edging. The corrugated design adds stability, but proper backfilling is crucial.

Difficulty connecting multiple rolls seamlessly.

Ensure the ends of the rolls are clean. Overlap them slightly to create a continuous line. For very secure connections, consider using small metal clips or rivets if required, though usually not necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Exceptional rust and corrosion resistance due to Aluzinc coating.
Durable construction resists damage from common garden maintenance tools.
Flexible enough to form curves, allowing for creative landscape designs.
Expandable design makes it suitable for projects of any scale.
Provides a permanent, professional-looking separation between lawn and beds.

Cons

Requires digging a trench for proper installation, which can be labor-intensive.
Metal can be sharp when cut; appropriate safety precautions are needed.
The natural silver finish may dull slightly over a very long period.
May not be as flexible for extremely tight radii as some plastic alternatives.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

Plan your border line.
Dig a shallow trench along the planned line, typically 10-15cm deep.
Unroll the Aluzinc edging and place it into the trench.
Backfill the trench with soil, tamping it down firmly around the edging.
For curves, gently bend the metal as needed. For straight lines, ensure it's placed firmly.
To connect multiple rolls, overlap the ends slightly and secure if necessary, or simply butt them together for a continuous line.

Compatibility:

This edging is compatible with most soil types and can be used in conjunction with various landscaping materials like mulch, gravel, or pavers. It is designed to work with standard garden tools for installation.

Care:

The Aluzinc coating provides excellent protection against rust and corrosion. Generally, no specific care is required beyond occasional cleaning with water if dirt or debris accumulates. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the coating.
