This reliable garden border edging helps gardeners create clean, lasting, and beautiful spaces with ease. Each strip features a strong, flexible design that is simple to install and provides stylish results. The product includes a dual lock mechanism and 5 ground spikes per strip for secure placement. These 1m strips come in a pack of 5 and feature a distinct Corten finish for a rustic, industrial look in your garden.
The EdgeMaster Steel Garden Lawn Edging is designed for homeowners and professional landscapers looking to create crisp, defined borders between lawns, flower beds, and pathways. Its primary benefit is the combination of a high-durability, industrial-grade steel construction with a flexible design that conforms to garden curves, though users should note that the distinctive Corten rustic finish will naturally develop a weathered patina over time, which some may find visually inconsistent until the process is complete.

FAQs
Can I cut the steel strips to a shorter length?
Yes, you can trim the strips using a metal hacksaw or an angle grinder if you need a custom length to fit your garden space perfectly.
Does the Corten finish stain surrounding concrete?
During the initial weathering process, some iron oxide runoff may occur; it is best to keep the edging away from porous surfaces until it has fully oxidized.
Are additional ground spikes available if I lose some?
The product includes 5 spikes per strip, which is sufficient for standard installation; however, you can use standard garden landscaping pins if you require extra anchoring.
How deep should I bury the edging?
Ideally, the edging should be set deep enough so that only the top decorative edge is visible, providing a seamless transition between your lawn and bed.
Will the metal rust away over time?
No, Corten steel is designed to form a surface layer of rust that actually protects the underlying metal from further corrosion.
Troubleshooting
Edging appears to lift or lean after installation
Ensure all 5 ground spikes per meter are driven fully into compacted soil; if the soil is loose, use a mallet to seat the spikes deeper.
Locking mechanism feels difficult to connect
Clear any dirt or debris from the lock grooves and ensure the two strips are perfectly aligned before applying light pressure to slide them together.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Clear the area where you intend to place the edging by removing debris and loose grass to create a level trench.
Installation: Position the first strip and connect the subsequent pieces using the integrated dual lock mechanism.
Anchoring: Drive the 5 provided ground spikes through the pre-drilled points along the base of each strip to anchor it firmly into the soil.
Maintenance: Periodically check that the spikes remain flush with the soil level, especially after heavy frost or significant rainfall which can cause soil movement.
Weathering: As these are Corten steel, expect the color to darken and shift to a deep orange-brown rust color as it is exposed to the elements; this is a natural protective process and requires no painting or sealing.
