Product Information

Full details

The Rowlinson Easy Fix Spiked Log Roll is designed for gardeners seeking a simple and attractive way to define garden beds, pathways, and borders. Its key benefit is the integrated spikes for effortless installation without additional fixings. A potential caveat is that the natural timber, while pressure-treated, will require some maintenance to ensure maximum longevity.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

How long is each Rowlinson Log Roll?

Each individual log roll measures 1.8 meters in length.

Does this product require additional fixings?

No, the Rowlinson Easy Fix Log Roll features integrated timber spikes, so no extra fixings are needed for installation.

What are the dimensions of each log roll?

Each roll measures approximately 30cm in height, 180cm in length, and 3cm in depth.

Can I use these rolls for steep slopes?

These log rolls are best suited for relatively level ground or gentle slopes. For very steep inclines, the spikes may not provide sufficient stability.

How many rolls are in a pack?

This product is sold as a pack of four log rolls.

Is the timber treated?

Yes, the timber is pressure-treated to provide protection against rot and decay.

Can I cut the log rolls to size?

While not explicitly recommended, the timber logs can potentially be cut with a saw. However, ensure any cut ends are treated with a suitable wood preservative to prevent rot.

Troubleshooting

Log roll is difficult to push into the ground.

Ensure the ground is slightly softened (e.g., after rain) or pre-dig a shallow trench along the desired line. If the ground is very hard or rocky, consider an alternative edging solution.

Log roll does not hold its shape or sags.

Ensure spikes are fully inserted and evenly spaced. For sharper curves or very long runs, consider adding extra stakes (not included) at key points for additional support.

Timber appears to be deteriorating faster than expected.

Ensure the wood is kept dry at the top and that annual treatment with a suitable wood preserver is applied. Check for any signs of pests or rot and treat accordingly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Quick and easy installation due to integrated spikes.
  • Durable, pressure-treated timber for longevity.
  • Flexible design allows for curved borders.
  • Provides a natural, attractive garden edge.
  • Good coverage with each roll.

Cons

  • Natural timber may require periodic maintenance for optimal preservation.
  • The 3cm thickness might not be suitable for very heavy-duty edging requirements.
  • May not be cost-effective for extremely long border installations compared to bulkier materials.
  • Requires sufficient ground depth for spikes to be securely anchored.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Determine the desired shape of your border or pathway.
  2. Gently push the integrated timber spikes into the ground along your marked line.
  3. Bend the roll as needed to follow curves.
  4. Ensure the spikes are firmly embedded for stability.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for use in most soil types that can accept the spikes.
  • Best used for defining garden beds, lawns, and pathways.

Care:

  • To maintain the appearance and prolong the life of the timber, apply a suitable wood preserver or sealant annually, especially after the first year.
  • Clear away any debris or leaf litter that accumulates on top of the roll to prevent moisture retention.
  • Inspect spikes periodically to ensure they remain firmly in the ground.
