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.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Determine the desired shape of your border or pathway.
Gently push the integrated timber spikes into the ground along your marked line.
Bend the roll as needed to follow curves.
Ensure the spikes are firmly embedded for stability.

Care:
