To deal with surplus lengths of EverEdge Rolltop Classic steel garden edging. Lay the edging to the point the pieces overlap. Mark the edging at this point and cut with an angle grinder. At this point, the two edging pieces can be simply butted together and the back plate attached. If you have the required drill bit, a hole can be drilled into the cut section.
EverEdge Rolltop Classic can be bent to angles by cutting a V into the rolled top edge and forming the steel around a block of wood.

The great thing about EverEdge Roll Top Garden Edging is that it can be installed proud, as long as you are not planning to mow over the edge. This means the top of the edging can protrude above the top level of the turf to the desired height. If you are planning to mow over the edge, ensure the edging top is level with the top of the turf, about 15mm below the cut height of the grass.
The product comes with a detailed installation guide.
While not as flexible as the standard products, both Classic and Titan roll top edging can be used to make curved garden borders. Hydra roll top cannot be curved and is only suitable for straight-edge borders. However, right angles can be achieved with corner pieces.
In some installations, it is desirable to have the edging showing. In these cases, roll top edging is the safest solution. Since the top edge is smooth and not sharp, it can safely be installed proud and is the recommended choice for homes with pets or small children.
EverEdge roll top edging has a front and a rear face. It should always be installed with the joints protruding onto the rear, hidden side.
EverEdge has a galvanised coating and a thick layer of plastic powder paint coating. EverEdge will not deteriorate or rust for at least 15 years.
Only when you have very poor ground conditions, especially very loose earth or sandy ground. It can also help to give extra support to your EverEdge where the flexible steel garden edging is supporting a slope or bank. This item is not necessary in most projects.
The ProEdge spikes are 100mm (4″) and the CLASSIC spikes are 94mm (3.7″). If you need more anchorage, consider using our Pin and Sleeve accessory.
For most applications, lawn to path or lawn to flowerbed the 1.6mm is the preferred product to use, however if there is a possibility of vehicle traffic then the 2.5mm thick ProEdge is preferable.
The top of the EverEdge should never be proud of the lawn if you are planning to mow over the edge. Ensure that the edging top is level with the top of the turf, about 15mm below the cut height of the grass. This is indicated in our installation guide when you buy EverEdge.
Cutting EverEdge is no problem, either with a grinder or a hacksaw. The best way to lose any extra material is to lap it behind where you started if possible, or where you are not returning to the start point put a 90° bend and lose the extra along a wall, bank, flower bed etc. This will also add extra strength at the end of the edging run.
As a general rule we recommend installing EverEdge so that the top of the edging is level with the turf. So not proud. However, in some installations it is desirable to have the edging showing. CorTen and Galvanised (unpainted) edging can be quite sharp so, if the edging will be installed proud, these finishes are not recommend for homes with dogs or small children.
EverEdge comes in 3 depths – 75mm (3″), 100mm (4″) and 125mm (5″). This excludes the spikes which are 94mm (3.7″) on Classic and 100mm (3.9″) on ProEdge. We recommend that you bury the EverEdge to the very top of the spike (15mm into the edge face). If you have an edge which is not equal to the sizes we supply, say 50mm, simply knock the 75mm EverEdge deeper until you have the correct depth.
In very soft ground, or in clay, simply treading on the edge or the weight of a mower will push the edge into the soil. To prevent this, place a piece of broken flat tile or brick under each joint or anywhere along the edging. Using the Pin & Sleeve system may also help to anchor and support the edging.
EverEdge Classic and ProEdge are extremely flexible and will easily curve to virtually any radius. To bend, mark a line across the point where it needs to be bent and form the angle using any sharp right angle edge whether it be in a vice, work bench, 4”x2” timber or even the angle edge of a table.
