All our lengths are 2.44m.

REDCOR® steel will arrive a slightly silver, light grey colour. In some cases, it can look similar Galvabond® or SuperDyma®. To help distinguish between the three finishes, see the descriptions below.

• Galvabond® – Silver, distinct speckled design all over the edging
• SuperDyma® – silver, smooth finish, no speckles, similar finish to stainless Steel
• REDCOR® – Slightly silver appearance, light grey in colour, dark oily residue.

Our products are stored indoors to prevent the rusty patina from forming.  This allows for easier and cleaner transportation and installation.

Natural rust will develop gradually, typically taking a few weeks to several months and will continue to develop and evolve over time.

FormBoss® is stored with the bottom of a piece of edging slipped inside a second piece of edging, forming what looks (when wrapped up) only 1 length. 

All rings and lengths are supplied with matching connectors and screws. Please refer to the product listing for the quantity supplied.

If these items are missing from your order, please contact the stockist you purchased from for assistance.

Stakes are sold separately and we recommend purchasing 3 stakes per length

Creating perfectly round rings can be difficult, which is why we offer a rolling service at FormBoss® head office.

Rings 3106mm in diameter (4 lengths) or larger can be rolled on site. For sweeping curves, the edging can generally be shaped by hand to approximately a 1000mm radius.

For tighter curves, we suggested using a yellow tongue strip to make shaping easier. It helps prevent the edging from kinking and allows you to achieve curves down to approximately an 800mm radius.

To use the yellow tongue strip, slide it underneath the rolled top edge of the garden edging. This provides additional support while you shape the length. Once you have achieved the desired curve, simply remove the strip and repeat the process on the next length.

No, the tools required most people will already have. To help install FormBoss® though we do have install kits that come with items that make installing our edging even easier.

The install kit consists of:

• 1.2 kilo Rubber Mallet- which helps with getting stakes into the ground
  NOTE: we do not recommend using a sledge hammer on the garden edging or stakes as you can damage it. If your soil is hard and you are having trouble putting the stakes in the ground we recommend a digging the hole first. 
• Wide Brimmed Vice Grip-  Great for keeping the edging and connector or stake together when screwing.
• Rubber Forming Strip- to assist with curving
• Impact driver or Drill with Tech Screw Bit
• Manual or battery operated rivet gun for profiles heights 230mm or above
• Metal cutting tool if you plan to cut to size, FormBoss® offers lengths cut to size, please contact your nearest stockist for a quote

Burying approximately one-third of the garden edging provides stability, helps retain soil and mulch, reduces movement from ground conditions and gardening activities and creates a clean, defined finish.
