lizzie Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 A bit of a crossover topic as I am thinking of using Everedge on driveway and garden paving/lawn areas. I thought I had seen mention of someone using but can’t locate the thread. Anyone got any views or experience of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell griffiths Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 We have used all manner of these pre made edgings over the years, and found them to all be a bit flimsy and over priced. We now recommend standard mild steel in 100 x 4mm or 150 x 5mm both come in 6m lengths we secure these in place with 16mm re bar tack welded to the back with a bit of care you can create some nice sweeping curves and some very sharp looking corners. If fitted down the side of a driveway any dodgy driving where a tyre rides over it will result in no damage to the edging, unlike the garden centre stuff that won’t like it one bit. The steel will rust to a nice brown colour and looks quite arty. I will try to find some pics. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HerbJ Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 +1 @Russell griffiths We visited Cliveden House, which is a big National Trust property, and they were using this method for huge areas of landscaping as parrt of the renovation of the original gardens around the house ( which is now a very exclusive hotel). I thought at the time it was a very practical and clever idea 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vivienz Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 We used everedge in our current garden a few years back as all the beds, borders and grass areas have curved edges and keeping them that way could have been tricky but it works very well. I don't know the current price for it (steel has been cheap for a few years Now, but that's just the raw material) but we would consider using it again as it is a good products.

Roger440 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Ive used it, but used the heavy duty stuff. Looked at the regular stuff at a nieghbours and decided it was to feeble to be useful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trw144 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I ve used it - I think the heavy duty one also. Pleased with it - looks neat and keeps the gravel on the drive. Relatively easy to install 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
