If it arrives faulty, damaged or not as described, we put it right at no cost to you, return postage included. That right comes from the Consumer Rights Act 2022, not from this policy.
Nothing needed. If tea staining appears in a coastal garden, wipe it with warm water and a soft cloth rather than a wire brush, which would scratch the passive layer.

About this product
304 stainless, highly resistant to rust.
Interlocking one metre sections in three face heights. The one to choose next to pale paving.
Stainless is the range to pick when the edging sits against something you do not want stained.
Corten and bare steel both shed run off while they weather. 304 stainless does not weather at all, so pale paving, render, decking and light gravel stay the colour they were.
It comes in three face heights. 50 mm is a lawn edge, 100 mm is the general purpose depth, and 200 mm is for holding back a level change or a deep mulch bed.
At 0.5 mm gauge it is the most flexible metal edging we sell, which makes it the easiest of the three to run around a tight circle.
Sections are one metre and interlock. Three 100 mm spikes come with every metre.
The argument for stainless over corten or black steel is almost entirely about what is next to the edging.
Weathering steel is supposed to shed a little rust while its patina forms, and black coated steel will do the same wherever the coating gets chipped. Neither matters against grass or dark gravel. Both matter a great deal against limestone paving, a rendered wall or new decking.
304 is the standard austenitic stainless grade, the same specification used for kitchen worktops and outdoor handrails. It does not need a coating because the chromium in the alloy forms its own passive layer.
The trade off is stiffness. At 0.5 mm this is a third of the thickness of the corten range, so it bends more easily, which is good for curves and less good for holding a long straight run dead true. On a straight run, space the spikes evenly rather than clustering them.
Choose the face height by what the edging is holding rather than by how it looks: 50 mm to stop a mower, 100 mm to stop grass runners, 200 mm to retain a change of level.

50 mm to stop a mower running into a bed, 100 mm for general use and to stop grass runners, 200 mm to hold back a change of level or a deep mulch bed.
What grade of stainless is it?
304, the standard austenitic grade also used for kitchen worktops and outdoor handrails.
Will it rust?
No. The chromium in the alloy forms its own passive layer, so there is no coating to chip and nothing to go orange.
Will it stain my paving?
No, which is the main reason to choose it over corten or black steel next to limestone, render or new decking.
How thick is it?
0.5 mm.
Is it strong enough at 0.5 mm?
For edging, yes. It is a third of the thickness of the corten range, which makes it more flexible and slightly less willing to hold a long straight run dead true. Space the spikes evenly on a straight and it is fine.
How long is each section?
One metre, and the sections interlock into a continuous length.
How many spikes come with it?
Three 100 mm steel spikes per metre.
Can it take a tight curve?
Yes. At 0.5 mm it is the easiest metal edging here to run around a small circle such as a tree ring.
How do I cut it?
A hacksaw. Wear gloves: a freshly cut stainless edge is sharp.
Do you cut it to my length?
No. It ships as whole one metre sections and you cut if you need a shorter run.
Will it discolour by the sea?
Coastal air can leave light surface tea staining on 304. Wipe it with warm water and a soft cloth, never a wire brush, which would damage the passive layer.
Does the price change with the height?
Yes. Each face height is priced separately because it is a different amount of steel.
Can I mix heights in one order?
Yes. Add each height you want as its own line.
Is it visible once installed?
Barely. At 0.5 mm the top edge reads as a thin bright line, which is why it suits modern planting schemes.
What is it best used for?
Paver and path edges, beds sitting against pale paving, and holding a level change where the 200 mm height is used.
Does it need any maintenance?
No.
How does it compare with the black steel?
The black steel is 1.5 mm and coated, so it is stiffer and disappears visually; the stainless is thinner, more flexible and will never mark what is next to it.
How much is delivery?
Standard delivery anywhere in Ireland is €25, and it is free once your order reaches €100. Express Shipping is also offered at checkout for €25, and it is charged on every order, including orders over €100.
How long does delivery take?
Five to seven days, after a 24 to 48 hour handling time while the order is picked and packed.
Do you deliver across the whole of Ireland?
Yes, to any address in Ireland, at the same delivery rates and in the same 5 to 7 days once the order has been handled. We deliver to addresses in Ireland only.
Is there a minimum order?
No. The per metre and per section ranges are sold by the unit, so you can order one metre or one section if that is all you need.
Can I change my mind after it arrives?
Yes. Irish consumer law gives you 14 days from delivery to cancel an online order, and this shop allows 15. Send the goods back with proof of purchase, in their original packaging if you still have it, and return postage is at your cost. Nothing is deducted for handling. Email us with your order number first.
What if the item is faulty or not what was described?
That is a separate right under the Consumer Rights Act 2022, and it does not depend on the 15 days. You can ask for a repair, a replacement or a refund, and we pay the return postage.
Who pays return postage if I simply change my mind?
You do, unless the item is faulty or we sent the wrong thing.
Can I cancel before it ships?
Yes, free of charge. Email us with your order number within 12 hours: orders are handled within 24 to 48 hours. Once an order has shipped it can no longer be cancelled, but you can still return it under the 15 day policy.
How do I track my order?
You get a confirmation email with a tracking number once the order ships. Items in one order can travel in separate parcels.
What payment methods do you take?
Card payment and PayPal, both through a secure checkout. Card details are handled by the payment provider and never reach this site.
What currency are prices in?
Euro (EUR), and that is what your card is charged.
Do you sell to trade or in bulk?
Yes. Use the wholesale quote page with the lengths and quantities you need and we will come back with a price.
