Product Information

Full details

The Swift Edge garden edging is designed for homeowners and landscapers looking to create clean, defined borders in their gardens and outdoor spaces. It provides a durable and attractive edge that keeps materials like gravel and mulch in place, preventing them from spreading onto lawns and pathways. A key benefit is the ease of installation due to the interlocking design and included stakes. However, ensure the ground is soft enough for stake insertion, especially in compacted soil or areas with many roots. This guide provides comprehensive instructions on installation, usage, and maintenance to help you get the most out of your Swift Edge garden edging.

FAQs

How do I cut the Swift Edge strips?

Use a metal saw to cut the aluminum strips to your desired length.

Can I use Swift Edge on a slope?

Yes, Swift Edge can be used on slopes. Ensure the stakes are driven in securely and adjust the installation to follow the contours of the slope.

How deep should I insert the stakes?

Insert the stakes as deep as possible to provide a secure hold. Typically, the 300mm stakes should be fully inserted.

How do I clean the Swift Edge?

Clean the Swift Edge with water and a mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.

Is Swift Edge suitable for commercial use?

Yes, Swift Edge is suitable for both residential and commercial applications due to its durability and professional appearance.

Can I reuse the Swift Edge strips if I move them?

Yes, Swift Edge can be removed and reused. Be careful when removing the stakes to avoid bending them, and re-install in the new location.

What is the warranty on Swift Edge?

Swift Edge is designed to last many years and is covered by a manufacturer's warranty against defects.

Troubleshooting

Edging strips are difficult to connect.

Ensure the slots are aligned correctly and try applying a small amount of lubricant to the joining area.

Stakes are difficult to insert into the ground.

Soften the ground by watering the area or use a rubber mallet to drive the stakes in. In extremely hard ground, pre-drill holes for the stakes.

Edging is not staying in place.

Make sure stakes are driven deep enough into the ground. Check that the ground is even, and the edging is properly aligned.

The edging is bending or warping.

Ensure the ground is level, and the stakes are evenly spaced. If bending is necessary, do so gently, and avoid over-bending the strips.

Color is fading.

The color is designed to be UV resistant, but in extreme cases, you can consider applying a UV protectant spray.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Before you start, measure the area where you want to install the edging and calculate the amount of Swift Edge strips needed. Clear the area of any existing grass, weeds, or debris.
  2. Assembly: Connect the edging strips by sliding one piece into the slots at the back of another to create the desired length.
  3. Installation: Place the assembled edging in the desired location and use the included stakes to secure the edging to the ground. Insert the stakes through the slots on the back of the edging and drive them into the ground using a rubber mallet or hammer.
  4. Curves and Angles: To create curves or angles, gently bend the aluminum strips by hand to the desired shape before staking them into the ground.
  5. Cutting: If necessary, you can cut the strips to fit specific lengths using a metal saw.
  6. Compatibility: Swift Edge is compatible with various ground materials, including soil, grass, mulch, gravel, and aggregate.
  7. Care: Swift Edge requires minimal maintenance. Clean it periodically with water and a mild detergent to remove any dirt or debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch the aluminum surface.
