Installing Your Galvanised Steel Edging

Installing your galvanised steel edging is quick and simple. The strips are easy to handle and can be shaped to suit your layout. For secure installation, we recommend using our galvanised edging pegs and corner pieces, which can be welded or bolted to the edging strip (you won’t see the pegs once installed). Want a faster installation? Try our galvanised fold over pegs, which offer an easy no-weld, no-bolt alternative for securing your edging firmly in place. Just double your edging height to choose the right peg length, and we recommend using 3 pegs per strip. Before installing, we advise re-galvanising any cut edges with a galvanising spray to maintain weather protection. This spray is available from us or most DIY stores. For any questions about installing galvanised steel edging, our friendly team is happy to help!

Galvanised Lawn Edging FAQs

What is galvanised steel?

Galvanised steel is mild steel that has been coated in zinc to protect it from rust and corrosion. The result is a weather-resistant metal that is ideal for outdoor applications. Learn more about galvanised steel and how it’s made.

Is metal lawn edging any good?

Yes, metal lawn edging is a fantastic alternative to wooden or plastic options. It lasts longer, is more weather-resistant, and provides a cleaner, more professional finish. Galvanised steel edging is especially popular due to its strength and rust resistance.

How do I install galvanised steel lawn edging?

Use galvanised corner pieces and pegs to secure the edging strips, which can be welded or bolted to the edging. For a quicker installation, you can use our galvanised steel fold-over pegs. We recommend using 3 pegs per strip, and ensure the peg is twice the height of your edging for stability. Our galvanised steel lawn edging can also be bent manually or with tools to create curves.

How to cut galvanised lawn edging?

You can cut the edging with metal cutting tools like an angle grinder or hacksaw, but it’s often easier to overlap any excess material behind the start point for a tidy finish.  Buy Metal Online offers galvanised lawn edging in a range of different lengths and heights to suit your garden’s requirements. For convenience, why not take advantage of our free cutting service to have it cut to size before delivery so it’s ready to install without the hassle?

How deep should galvanised garden edging be?

This depends on your project and the intended use. Buy Metal Online’s galvanised steel edging comes in three different heights: 100mm, 150mm, and 290mm.  For lawn borders, 100mm or 150mm height is usually enough. For raised beds, paths or retaining soil, go for the deeper 290mm option which will provide more structural support.

What thickness is best for galvanised steel edging?

At Buy Metal Online, we offer galvanised steel edging in 1.5mm, 2mm, and 3mm thicknesses.  1.5mm or 2mm is suitable for most standard garden applications. Choose 3mm if the edging will be near vehicle traffic (such as along a driveway) or needs to be extra strong.

What is the best material for garden edging?

Galvanised steel is one of the best materials for garden edging thanks to its strength, rust resistance and clean appearance. Corten steel edging is another great alternative for a distinctive, architectural look. 

What tools do I need to install galvanised edging in my garden?

No specialist tools are needed. A spade, mallet, and screwdriver or drill (if bolting) are usually enough. Our range of edging accessories make installation even easier! If you have any questions about fitting your galvanised garden edging, feel free to contact us.

How long does galvanised steel edging last?

With proper installation and care, galvanised steel edging can last for decades. It is highly resistant to rust and weather damage.

How do I look after galvanised lawn edging?

Minimal maintenance is needed for galvanised lawn edging. If any edges are cut to fit, reapply galvanising spray to those areas. Keep it free of soil build-up and debris for best results.

Is this galvanised steel edging flexible?

Yes, galvanised steel edging is strong yet flexible. They’re great for creating neat, straight lines, but you can also bend the strips to create sweeping curves, circular borders, or meandering paths.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
