Great finish but a two person job to install
We found the edging too deep and so we cut off the bottom spikes so as not to have to dig so deep and it still stayed in place well. The firm edge means you can put the bark up to it and not flow over onto the lawn Best on straight lawns or soft curves but hard to pull it into sharp shapes. the 'A' spikes on the top that go onto the top of the lawn do need pinning every three to keep well in place. Also, we lightly drilled out the holes before inserting the plastic nails which dealt with the problem others have reviewed on, saying the nails bend. The holes are a bit too tight as they are. my hubby used a rechargeable hand drill and it worked a treat. Great finished product even it makes your shoulders and back ache to do it!

Plastic pins are not strong enough to hammer into the ground
It looks fine once it is installed but the plastic pins are not strong enough for the job and it was hard to get them through the holes. In the end I went and bought some metal pins

Good Idea but needs improving
This product was exactly what I have been trying to find for ages.We have a grass that has grown into our rose garden by weaving its way through our weed fabric so wanted a barrier to stop it from travelling that way and create a straight edge for mowing.The problem I had was even though the ground was soft (I watered along the edge as it advised and it had rained a couple of days before) the pegs wouldn't even go through the holes made especially for them in the a-frame, they just bent over and even after straightening them and trying again they just snap.Luckily I already had some galvanised steel pegs for the weed fabric leftover and these fit in the holes perfectly so I could finish the jobIt seems to have worked so far but this was only put in 2 weeks ago

Good edging solution
Seen some mixed reviews on this product but I thought I would give it a go anyway. My first concern was that the small A-frames that are used to retain the edging would be too visible. this is not a problem, after a weeks growing they can no longer be seen. I pinned about every 3rd A-frame. I pinned more in certain areas and I even clipped a few off completely. Second concern was the strength of the plastic pegs that most people moan about on the reviews. Yes they are rubbish. Solution: I had a long thin metal nail that I hammered in to clear a hole prior to hammering in the plastic peg. Worked fine. I think I scrapped about 2 or 3 pins in total. 3rd issue was the depth of the edging. I ended up clipping away most of the spiky edge to make it shallower, so I didn't have to remove so much soil. Overall I am really pleased with this product it certainly tidies up the lawn. Mowing is a lot easier with the edging acting as a support for the mower which stops it rolling of the edge.

Waste of money, time and effort
In short, don't bother; don't believe the 'promotional video or You Tube. If you want to install round a corner in soil as soft as butter, crack on. Otherwise save your money, time and sanity.I wanted to edge a 5m straight border. The edging arrived so tightly rolled, it retains its curvature and won't stay in a straight line. Merest hint of resistance and the plastic 'prongs' buckle under the strain when trying to insert into the ground. The cheap plastic pins bend at the slightest suggestion of force and pop out when any tension is applied to the edging.No redeeming features. Straight in the bin. £35.00 wasted.

Excellent edging
I reshaped and edged the Whole of my lawn 12 years ago, the edging is still going strong and shows no sign of collapsing, as with cheaper materials. I recently dug another bed out of the lawn and used the same edging in the knowledge that it will last.The reviews commenting on the plastic fixing pins not being sturdy enough just require a little thought, a pilot hole made with a bradawl or similar will make the insertion of the fixing pins a doddle.It isn’t the easiest of edging to use on an existing lawn, particularly if you come across stones beneath the surface, but patience and hard work will reward you with years of use.Go for it!

Couldn’t use it for its intended purpose
Not any good if using it for a straight line, just waves about. The pins are too long and just bend. Wouldn’t recommend this product

Bad design
This product gives a good finish and makes mowing easier, however I have lowered the rating because trying to thread the plastic pins through a hole that’s too small required a lot of brawn. Not a friendly installation design. I cursed the makers for 2 hours. I hate being that ugly but the cursing was driven by the stress the bad design created.
