Looking after it

Wear gloves: the saw tooth spikes are sharp. Let the patina settle before it sits against pale paving. If you want to hold the colour where it is, the listing says a coat of polyurethane after the patina has fully formed will lock it in.

Two Face Heights100 mm or 150 mm, both 1.5 mm steel
Pre-Rusted CortenThe patina is already on it, no waiting
No Dig, Hammer InSeven 100 mm spikes per metre
Bends To A CurveStraight runs or curves, and it comes up again

About this product

Pre-rusted corten steel edging, sold by the metre, in 100 mm or 150 mm face heights.

1075 mm lengths of 1.5 mm corten steel that interlock with a 75 mm overlap, with seven 100 mm spikes per metre. Hammer it in, bend it round a curve, and pull it up again if the bed changes.

A clean line between lawn and bed that grass cannot creep across and mulch cannot spill over.

Each length is 1075 mm, giving a metre of edge once the 75 mm interlock overlap is taken, so you buy by the metre.

Both heights are 1.5 mm corten steel with seven 100 mm spikes per metre. The 100 mm face weighs 1.6 kg per length; the 150 mm face weighs 1.7 kg.

It comes pre-rusted. The patina is already on it, so the bed looks finished the day it goes in.

It bends to a curve, hammers in without digging a trench, and can be pulled up and reshaped when the bed changes.

Metal Landscape Edging (100 mm face height (per metre))

Garden edging has one job: keep the lawn on one side and the bed on the other. Plastic bends and lifts, timber rots, and concrete is forever. Steel edging holds a line for years and comes up if you change your mind.

Metal Landscape Edging (100 mm face height (per metre))

This is corten steel, and it arrives already rusted. Weathering steel forms a stable patina that protects the steel beneath it; here that patina has been formed before it ships, so there is no orange phase in your garden.

Metal Landscape Edging (100 mm face height (per metre))

Choose the face height by what the edge has to hold back. The 100 mm face suits a lawn edge and a low bed. The 150 mm face gives more above and below ground for a raised bed, a gravel path or a mulch bed that is built up.

Metal Landscape Edging (100 mm face height (per metre))

Installation is a hammer and a pair of gloves. Each length has seven 100 mm spikes along its base and saw tooth ends; drive the spikes in, overlap the next length by 75 mm on the interlock, and bend as you go for a curve. The listing calls it no dig, and it comes back out the same way.

Metal Landscape Edging (100 mm face height (per metre))

One length is 1075 mm and gives one metre of finished edge after the overlap. Order the number of metres your run needs and round up, because a cut end is a wasted end. This is a warehouse line, packed and sent from our own stock.

4.5/5 from 21 reviews

  1. Laoise

    Versatile Garden Edging. Beautiful patina in rust. Long spikes (teeth) to hold edging firmly in place. We used it in a circle around trees. Edging along a garden path and in odd shapes, it looks absolutely gorgeous. Will be ordering more!

  2. Fionan

    My husband and I used this product to line our front lawn, gardens, and garden pathway. Easy to do, as we are 80 and 78 years old. Just place it where you want it, hammer it in, and put the stakes onto the edge edging, which are included. This will last for yours with no maintenance. Beats plastic any time!

  3. Barra

    Perfect thickness. Not flimsy at all, but still thin enough to bend if you need to.

  4. Harlow

    Quick delivery of landscape steel edging that has already rusted. Just what was requested. simple to setup. I am one content gardener.

  5. Elsie

    I love how it turned out. Plan on using it all over my property. I did my rather large backyard edging (about 80 feet) in about 2 hours. Make it easier on yourself and do it after a couple of days of rain.

  6. Sloane

    Easy to assemble and looks great!

  7. Briar

    These were so great. Easy to work with. Went into the ground well. Look fancy. It is actually corten steel. Thought I was going to have to get this custom made, so really glad I found these. Looks great.

  8. Jolene

    We just used these for the perimeter of our new fire pit, and I’m very happy with how it turned out. It took a bit of effort to pound them into the ground, but no more effort than I expected. These things are sturdy, and I have no concerns about the landscapers tearing them up. They will last forever.

  9. Ivy

    I love that it comes already in a well advanced state of rust with a lovely orangey rust patina. Super easy to install and bend.

  10. Elise

    This edging is sturdy, looks exactly as described and expected, packed well, great price, and the seller was helpful and responsive to my inquiry. I ordered 2 sets and am buying a third.

  11. Serena

    It was easy to install. It looks really nice. I’m purchasing them again.

  12. Gormlaith

    For a few pieces of rusted metal, the price is pretty hard to justify. But it does look great and is very easy to install.

  13. Fachtna

    We really like the look of this in our yard. We didn’t bend it, so I don’t know how easy that would be. My husband liked the stakes that came with it. Easy to use.

  14. Callie

    Bending for the curves was pretty easy. I recommend doing it in the “trough” of the jagged teeth where the pieces are the thinnest, pinning the piece between two pieces of wood. Lots of compliments so far.

  15. Freya

    As stated, good quality, and simple installation.

  16. Athena

    I added this edging to my English garden and love the definition it gives the space.

  17. Gwendolyn

    Easy to install and very sturdy. Used as a border for graves.

  18. Sierra

    We are very happy with this product. It was easy to install and looks good. We purchased 5 of them so far. Although we do not expect any issues, we will wait to see how it performs in the winter months before buying more in the spring.

  19. Natasha

    Looks very good and is simple to install.

  20. Blair

    Good quality product, arrived promptly, affordable price, looks fantastic! There’s a ‘good side’ or ‘better looking side’ due to way stacked and stored, but I didn’t find this an issue. Would like the option of taller by 2 or 3 inches for certain applications. Will buy again and already recommended.

  21. Ingrid

    Easy to assemble, sturdy metal, looks great in my garden
