How deep is edging?
The edging is available in various lengths and widths for custom projects, and can be installed in straight or curved runs. Unlike some other types of edging, steel edging is quite flexible and can be bent to accommodate curves. The edging is also very light and can be installed by hand. For more difficult curves, it may be necessary to use wooden garden stakes behind the seams to prevent gaps.
It is best to read the installation instructions that come with each type of edging. No matter the product, there will be a side that is meant to face out toward the grass and a side that should be against soil, mulch or landscaping material. URL : www.Formboss.com.au/
It is a good idea to paint or varnish any exposed areas of the edging to protect them from corrosion. This is particularly important if the edging is left unpainted in an area with high moisture content, such as next to a pond or in a wet garden. A protective coating will also help to prevent damage from lawn mowers and weed eaters during routine landscape maintenance. A metal edging with a powder coated finish will resist corrosion longer than unprotected products.
