<\/p>\n

Metal lawn edges are more in demand than ever before. They are indestructible, flexibly formable, comparably inexpensive and can also be laid quite easily.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The edge of the lawn as a boundary between lawns and beds requires a great deal of care. After all, the green must always be kept in check so that it doesn’t crawl into the beds. The English lawn edge requires a great deal of maintenance. The lawn must be tapped every four weeks at the latest to prevent it from growing too far into the beds. In retrospect, you have less effort with the concrete lawn edge. Here again, however, you have to plan a lot of time for the installation. <\/p>\n

Metal lawn edges have been on the advance for some years now. And the advantages are obvious:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • barely visible<\/li>\n
  • easy to install<\/li>\n
  • hardly any earthworks necessary<\/li>\n
  • flexibly formable<\/li>\n
  • durable<\/li>\n
  • Differences in height can be compensated for<\/li>\n
  • screw guard<\/li>\n
  • clear edge when mowing the lawn<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Especially the flexibility is an essential advantage compared to other materials, because it can be used to enclose particularly curved lawns. Installation is also much easier than with concrete, plastic or rubber, but more about this later.<\/p>\n

    Different metals<\/h2>\n

    Metal is not the same as metal and so there are of course also different materials for the lawn edges. You will find an optimal overview at rasenkanten-experte.com, for example. Here is just a short overview:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
    Metal<\/th>\nproperty<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
    corten steel<\/td>\n– rusty look
    \n– corrosion-resistant\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    stainless steel<\/td>\n– robust and stable
    \n– is less easy to bend\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Galvanised sheet steel<\/td>\n– corrosion-resistant
    \n– light and flexible\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Aluminium<\/td>\n– corrosion-resistant
    \n– easy processing\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
