It's hard to find good lawn and garden edging at a reasonable price. These raw steel sections and pins are the best I've found. The initial application was to separate a lawn from a new planting area along 50 feet of sloped ground between two homes. I suggest that you add a large rubber mallet to your tool kit to simplify the installation. You'll be positioning sections and tapping the edging into the earth with the mallet as well as using it to drive pins into the earth when joining the sections. What's great about this product is that it is sturdy steel, not aluminum or plastic yet it is pliable enough that you can gently form it to make a curve. This stock begins to rust pretty quickly and it looks good. Another benefit is that is is not painted so gas powered trimmers can be used against it without damaging the finish. I've purchased a third package for another garden project where the steel acts as a barrier to runoff from a slope, providing protection to some new perennials and eliminating an erosion issue. I would have awarded five stars except for the packaging which ripped in transit and allowed the invaluable set of pins to not be delivered. I had to call the company and wait another week to begin my project.

So far these are dope and serving their purpose well. We have a very wet back yard, and a few years ago we dug a French drain down each side of it. On one side, we lined the drain with pavers so that side always looks pretty crisp, but we didn't need a paver walkway down the other side, so we did nothing. After a couple of years of grass and weeds encroaching on that side, it started to look pretty raggedy and messy. I purchased these to add a crisp edge to the French drain with no pavers, and it they have served that purpose beautifully. Ideally, you would install these at the same time as the French drain so that they would be a bit buried into the ditch, but I wasn't able to do that. I did score the ground a bit with a flat edged shovel and then use a rubber mallet to pound these in a bit, and the included pins work great to keep them in place. As a result, my French drain looks much cleaner and neater and I am very happy with the end result. No more sloppy, grass-filled rock ditch.

I will say that I ideally wanted a straight line of these down my yard.... but, these are 8 foot lengths of relatively thin metal that were shipped to my home, so getting them to all be perfectly straight is probably not going to happen, but overall they were VERY close to straight, and I don't think anyone else visiting my yard would even notice, but I am a crazy person.

These are easy to cut and bend, look great and weather nicely. Used it around an A/C condenser pad.

All in all, they look pretty nice and I was really happy to find steel edging. It takes on a nice rusty patina. Unfortunately, they are a little flimsy, which makes a long straight line a little wobbly.

These were a royal pain in the a$$ to put in the ground. The pins to hold them in place were worthless. Hitting to smallest pebble in the soil bent them.
Putting them together leaves an obvious seam and did not look good.
Disappointed as I had high hopes this would be a nice border to use around the property.
