Ever Edge

Ever Edge(R) keeps lawns, paths, flower and vegetable beds permanently neat and tidy. Installation requires only four tools: edging tool or shovel, wood or plastic hammer, screw driver and a wood block.

Caution:

Ever Edge should be used only for its designated purpose.
Keep out of reach of children.
Particular care should be taken when using rotary or hover mowers.

Common Applications
Lawns: To retain a lawn, up to 1/3 (or more) of the Ever Edge body and spikes should be in the ground. The top of the edging should be 1/2" (15 mm) below cut grass level.

Raised beds: If retaining a raised flower or vegetable bed, fill the soil to the top of the edging.

Lawn to gravel driveway: Up to 2/3 of the edging should be in the ground, depending on vehicle use. The top of the edging should be 1/2" (15 mm) below cut grass level. Regular use of cars or other heavy vehicles over the edging is not recommended.

Lawn to earth or asphalt: Either fit the edging in position before applying base aggregate plus asphalt layers, or rake a line for the edging out of the base aggregate then fill with base plus asphalt to the desired level. During installation the edging should be supported upright temporarily with pegs, especially when rolling layers.

Installation Instructions
Warning: For your safety and to prevent damage to the paint and electro-galvanizing, please read all instructions before installing the edging. Never use a metal hammer or object to install Ever Edge.

Step 1. Prepare a line for the edging to follow. Use a string for straight lines and establish curves by eye. Cut along the line (Fig 1.) and remove any stones or other obstructions.

Step 2. Use a wood or plastic hammer (Fig 2.) to drive spikes and the Ever Edge body into the ground to the appropriate depth, chiselling out or drilling spike holes if obstructed.

Step 3. Link the edging, (Fig 3.) then use a screwdriver to press the tongue through the hole on the rear section, locking them together. Back fill between the edging and retained edge if necessary.

In soft ground or where light vehicles may bear on it, position a flat stone or slate under the edging to prevent sinkage.

For corners or sharp angles: Mark the point of the angle, then place the edging over a forming template and bend by hand or with a wooden hammer.

Curves and circles: Ever Edge is easily curved by hand, but for tight curves, a forming template is recommended. You may use additional riveting or a nut and bolt to fasten the edging for very tight circles.

Cutting and overlapping: If Ever Edge must be cut it is very important to paint the bare edges with a good quality primer to prevent rust. Overlapping is preferred. Carefully hammer the joining link flat for a flush finish.
