Smartedge Flexible Lawn Edging Pins
Each roll of Smartedge comes complete with a set of fixing pins.
Under normal circumstances a fixing pin is required for every 3rd or 4th A-frame.
If you feel that you require more pins, you can purchase these in quantities of 30 per pack.
See Order/More details for fitting instructions and more images.
Smartedge Fitting instructions (also see More Images below)
It is important that you read these instructions before unrolling and installing the product.
First cut the grass and cut your border shape, try to keep your cuts at right angles to your lawn, digging down to a depth just short of Smartedge for soft soil or deeper for clay, stony or chalky ground.
If your ground is dry and compacted we recommend watering before laying as this will make insertion of the pins a lot easier.
(PREPARATION IS ALL IMPORTANT TO MAKE THE LAYING OF SMARTEDGE AS EASY AS POSSIBLE)
Unroll your Smartedge . (The A-frames are folded against the front edge). Ease the A-frames away from the front edge to approximately 45 degrees.
(DO NOT OVER-BEND AS THIS WILL STOP THE A-FRAMES FROM GRIPPING THE GRASS)
Locate Smartedge along the lawn edge making sure the A-Frames are biting onto your lawn. Backfill and firm with your foot as you feed along the edge. Insert the Pins provided through the holes at the end of the A-Frames where necessary to secure.
(The number of pins needed and where to place them will depend on the shape of your border and the surface of your lawn - You should fix a pin into every 3rd or 4th A shape )
If necessary tap along the top edge with a wooden mallet or short length of wood to help embed the A-Frames.
To join lengths, simply overlap and pin.
Leave for 2-3 weeks to allow grass to grow through before mowing. Check that none of the A-frames have been pushed up, if so, simply pin down.
