When first purchased, galvanised steel edging has a distinctive shiny, spangled appearance, showcasing the hallmark of its galvanisation process. Over time, typically within a year or so, this initial shine will gradually mellow to a matte grey finish, while still retaining the characteristic spangled effect. This natural transition helps the edging blend seamlessly into your garden, offering a neutral backdrop that enhances the vibrant colors and defined lines of your landscape design. The grey tone of galvanised steel serves to create sharp, clean contrasts between different elements in your garden, without drawing attention away from your plants and overall design.
To ensure the longevity of your galvanised steel edging, it’s important to take a few simple precautions during installation and maintenance. When cutting or screwing into the steel, the inner metal is exposed, which can potentially compromise its protective layer. To prevent this, be sure to apply cold galvanised spray paint to any areas where the metal has been cut or pierced. This additional layer of protection will help maintain the integrity of the steel and extend its lifespan.
If you notice any surface rust appearing due to accidental nicks from lawn mowers or whipper snippers, it’s easy to restore the affected area. Simply use a wire brush to remove the rust, ensure the area is dry, and then generously coat it with cold galvanised paint. This will help preserve the edging and keep it looking its best for years to come.
With FormBoss Galvanised Steel Edging, you can achieve a clean, professional finish in your garden that’s built to last. The combination of durability, aesthetic appeal, and ease of maintenance makes it an ideal choice for creating distinct, long-lasting boundaries in any landscape design.
