Corten Steel Landscape Edging Steel Edging Metal Landscaping Edge Garden Border Rusty Patina 40 Inch Strips 8 Inch Depth for Lawn Garden Yard Flower Metal Divider 6 Pcs 20 Feet Total (with 6 Clips)

I needed an edging to keep wood chips off of the sidewalk. This edging is perfect. I chose the larger edging because I’m on sand and need more depth to be stable. The stakes help hold this all together and the holes lined up perfectly. The bottom of the edging is sawtooth and this can be driven into the ground. Though on clay or rocky soils, I would advise a narrow trench rather than driving it in, so it won’t be wobbly or crooked.The rust patina it is now developing looks natural and blends well with my wood chips.The material is a good gauge and should last for a century. I’m not sure how this would look with sharp bends, but shallow bends retain shape and form. I did cut the last segment to fit. This is definitely tough metal, but it cut a straight line very well. I also rounded the ends with my grinder so I didn’t have a sharp edge exposed, since it sits above the grade. You definitely can work with this metal.Overall a good product. Competitively priced.

I have two important uses for this Corten Steel Landscape Edging on my rural ranch property. One use is to establish a clear boundary where autos should not drive, such as protecting a margin around my mailbox so it does not get bumped. The second is to protect planted areas, because I think this is the right depth to exclude gophers from burrowing under fences. I’ve had success so far using a temporary plastic barrier buried to a depth of 8 inches.I live in an area where we have wet winters and dry summers. The ground here gets extremely hard as the dry summer stretches on. I expected when I ordered this edging that I would need to wait until the fall rains start or use copious irrigation water to soften the ground enough to install the edging. Now that we are in fall, rain has started to appear so I am waiting to let the ground soften.The steel seems plenty heavy enough to me for this purpose. I couldn’t find on the product listing a spec that said exactly how thick the steel is supposed to be. My measurement method was to compare it to the thickness of different coins. I think it is about the same thickness as a US penny coin, which is 1.5 mm. It was not quite as thick as a US quarter, which is 1.75 mm.The height of the product I received measured eight inches from the straight top to the tip of each serrated edge. The heavy connector pieces provided would go a couple of inches deeper into the ground. Each piece measured 40.5 inches long or 103 mm. There will be about two inches of overlap when I attach each piece together using the hardware provided, so the six sheets connected together will cover about 19.5 ft. The metal is heavy enough that a section can be curved slightly but not much. I think the six pieces together could be fashioned to make a circle, which would be about 6 ft across.Although I haven’t installed the edging yet, I checked how the pieces will fit together, as shown in one of the photos. It looks like everything is drilled correctly and should go together fine.

There is not 20 ft on a box only 18 ft

Right now my heavy clay soil is like a brick due to the extreme drought. It took a lot of effort (and several sacrificial pieces of 2x4 to pound on) but I was able to get one in. The rest I'm waiting until the soil loosens up. Praying for some RAIN!That being said, these are heavy steel and sturdy, but still have flexibility for gentle curves; they are perfect to keep grasses from spreading into the flowerbed since they do go several inches below the surface.Once in place these babies aren't going anywhere.

You're hammering very thin sheet metal into the ground. Bends the second you hit it. Decided to not care bout the damage and hammered it as hard as I could as a grown man. It just won't go into the ground because it's millimeters thin sheet metal with diagona cuts on the bottom. Maybe goes in one or 2 inches and could blow over in the wind. The real fault is how thin it is because I hammered in 2 sandwiched together and it actually wasn't bad, but I can't afford that. The screws are too short to pass through the 2 straps and both sides of the connecting pieces, so you have to either not use the connectors or not use the screws. Maybe if you have sandy soil you can get away with it, but I would have to trench and backfill this product to install it, which is not how installation is advertised. I will be returning 2 of the 3 boxes I bought because it's damaged beyond return and appearance. This product needs to be made thicker with real spikes on the bottom. It's just cutout sheet metal for 130 dollars. I have seen the professional version of this product at my neighbor's and it literally looks THREE TIMES thicker. Forget about getting a straight line, as it's hammered in it flails like a ribbon, because it essentially is. Go buy this in a store where you can see it in person. Look at my photo of it next to a my thumb. It's paper.
