Steel Landscape Edging 40 Inch Strips, Steel Edging 8 Inch Depth, 6 Pack Hammer in Landscape Edging, Metal Landscape Edging, Metal Edging for Landscaping

This is good strong metal edging, but I’m needing to make small rings to go around my new shrubs to avoid weed eater damage. This edging cannot be bent to make a small ring, only a gradual bend along a bed and would probably be great for that.

The steel is thick and strong.

I recommend buying "Benmachu 6 Pack Connector Clips" with this product. When installing I used a 2x4 to pound the edging into the ground. The wood does not damage the steel. I had no issues bending the edging and it retains its' flexibility once bent. Although costly, it's a great product.

I got this to stabilize an L-shaped brick patio beside a fish pond. One side has shifted for years (sandy soil and some other factors) so it's actually a small scale retaining wall. It wouldn't work for a significant incline, but was perfect for my situation. Next year I may replace some of the older landscape edging with this, but I would probably choose 4", possibly 6".The jagged edge on bottom is key to ease of installation, I think, and since I wanted it sunk pretty deep for stability, I used the 8" for this project.Plan ahead. I don't recommend having pieces begin/end on corners if you can avoid it. This means that you'll have to bend 90° corners. I took mine to a local welding/machine shop, AFTER MEASURING CAREFULLY TWICE and clearly marking a STRAIGHT line on the inside of the bend I wanted. If you have the right tools, skills and confidence, this part could also be a DIY. I understand that you can do curves easily with it.When installing, get a piece of scrap 2x4 (mine was about 2' long) to hold on the top edge of the panels as you hammer them into the ground. This is to protect the metal panels.I used a 2 lb sledgehammer and slid the board back and forth along the panel. Don't get in a hurry and hit too hard--you'll just knock the other end out of the ground again.With some forethought and patience, you'll be pleased with this light duty retaining wall that costs a fraction of a masonry wall. And you can do it yourself, I certainly wouldn't have attempted to do a stone or brick one myself and would have had to pay someone to do it, plus wait on the contractor to be available.I highly recommend this for edging or retaining small amounts of soil.

This is a very sturdy heavy gauge steel and do a great job of maintaining your landscape edge. Because of their thickness you cannot bend them well to make a curved shape, We did make a couple 30 degree bends, but in doing so, it makes it difficult to pound one side down, without the other side popping back up. it is definitely a two man effort when pounding these in place. They were perfect for my intended use, but if I order more I might try a 6" height instead of 8", in the hopes that the steel might be thinner and more bendable .

This is some really sturdy edging that we used to stop rain from washing the mulch and soil out of the backyard bed. Took less than 30 minutes to make a trench for the edging and use a rubber mallet to hammer into place.

Very substantial but best used as a straight run because they are difficult to curve.

I thought the strips were a little flexible. They are not- without using professional tools.
