I have ordered this steel landscape edging 3 times for different areas in my yard. It is so sturdy and stays in place and is pretty strong too. I highly recommend this product. I used it around my rock gardens to keep the rocks in and along my fence line.We have a very large plot in the front lawn, and bought several sets of this edging. We bought 8" edging, sinking it 7" with a 1" sticking out to weed wack against. Trying to prevent Soysia grass from climbing into the newly rototiller plot. Pros- the pieces were easier to bend than I expected, (but you need two people to make the slightest curve.)These are very sturdy, have good 'spikes' on the bottom for getting them into the soil. The stakes that hold the joints together look really nice. (see the cons side of that) As recommended the rubber mallet worked great. (see cons for that, too) Cons- The stakes that came with this 'splay' out as they go into the soil, and don't hold the overlapping ends together on a curve. We aren't sure from the pictures how much the pieces should overlap. YOUR RUBBER MALLET WILL BE SHREDDED. One side of ours was unusable so we had to go to the other side. That'll be shredded, too. This would work better with two people with two rubber mallets, but who wants to destroy two rubber mallets?Some of our boxes came with no stakes. We'll have to somehow contact the company about that.Ordered a variety and this was by far the best. Perfect size to separate the gravel path from the shrubs and lawn in different areas. I would say best for straight lines but can be bent. Watch out for width - you cannot just bang this in the soil and hope it works - if there are roots, then you likely need to do some digging and prepping of the area which might include trimming the roots. I would not want to change the width of the border.They should also make a corner clip so one can secure two pieces when making a 90 degree angleSeems like they are very good quality. They are black powder coated though which is not in the description. They aren't as easy to install as thought unless you have sandy soil with sod removed already. We had to remove the sod and dig down to get rid of any stones. They wouldn't just hammer in otherwise. They do look very nice and should last a really long time. Hopefully they will help keep the grass from migrating into the mulch area.Product seems sturdy but I've not yet installed it. What's not clear is the product description. It is described as "galvanized" but also as "heavy-duty weathering steel". "Weathering steel" is usually a generic term used to describe the "COR-TEN" steel product that produces a stable, rust-like appearance due to weathering. This is not that material. It seems to have a black painted or powder coated finish. I cannot confirm if the steel under this finish is in fact galvanized as described.It’s edging for goodness sakeLIKED ALMOST EVERYTHING EXCEPT MAYBE CONNECTOR STRAPS COULD BE A BIT WIDER AND AT LEAST 3 INCHES LONGER THAN 8" EDGING STRIPS. WOULD MAKE IT EASIER TO SECURE 40" EDGING STRIPS SECURELY INTO PLACE.Very impressed with how thick and strong this edging feels and looks (not the flimsy aluminum edging you get at the big box stores).I can definitely see how some reviewers might complain about having a hard time bending this... it can take a bit of muscle, and a lot of time to make the metal stay at some type of curved form.But for my purposes (straight and a few 90degree bends), it was was perfect.
