Know before you buy
The steel arrives in its raw state and will develop its signature rustic, orange-brown patina naturally when exposed to the elements. This protective layer forms over time, which actually prevents further corrosion and ensures the longevity of the material.
The edging is designed to be installed by securing it into the ground using the included 10-inch spikes rather than requiring you to trench or dig out a deep channel. You simply position the sections, shape them as desired, and drive the spikes through the mounting points to anchor them firmly in place.
Yes, the 14-gauge steel is intentionally malleable, allowing you to bend and shape the sections to follow the natural curves of your landscape. It is flexible enough to create smooth, flowing lines while maintaining enough structural integrity to hold its shape.
During the initial weathering process, runoff can occur when the steel is exposed to rain, which may leave rust marks on porous surfaces like concrete or light-colored stone. We recommend keeping the edging away from delicate hardscaping until the patina has fully stabilized.
Each pack contains five 45-inch sections, providing a total of 19 feet of linear coverage. The kit also includes the necessary spikes to secure all five sections.
