How to install garden edging
How to install garden edging
Overview
Garden edging provides a good, sturdy barrier for your garden bed. It helps contain mulch and keeps everything looking neat and tidy. We'll show you how to put in two types of edging - plastic and corrugated garden edging.
Tools and materials
Steps
Dig trench for plastic edging
Dig a trench along your garden bed. The trench should be deep enough so that the plastic edging goes down about half way. Each piece of edging should easily clip onto each other so assemble as you move along your trench.
Secure the edging with pegs
Once your edging in is the trench, peg it into the ground on the back. Fill up the trench behind the edging back with the soil you dug out and then compact it to hold the edging firmly in place.
Measure and cut your corrugated edging
Roll out the corrugated garden edging and measure to the dimensions of your garden bed. Using tin snips carefully cut the edging a little longer than you need. Make sure you wear gloves to avoid the sharp edges.
Secure your corrugated edging
After you have dug your trench, put the corrugated edging into the ground. It should go about half way down into the trench. Peg the edging in every metre, and backfill the trench with your dirt and you'll have a sturdy garden edging.
Health & Safety
Please make sure you use all equipment appropriately and safely when following the advice in these D.I.Y. videos. You need to be familiar with how to use equipment safely and follow the instructions that came with the equipment. If you are unsure, you may feel it is safest to consult an expert, such as the manufacturer or an expert Bunnings Team Member.
Grave health hazards are linked to asbestos, which may be in homes built up to 1990. Health hazards may result from exposure to lead-based paints in older materials and copper chromium arsenic (CCA) treated timber. For information on the dangers of asbestos, lead-based paint and CCA treated timber and tips for dealing with these materials contact your local council's Environmental Health Officer. You can also use a simple test kit from Bunnings to indicate the presence of lead-based paint.
