Steel edging is a great way to neaten up your landscaping. Hammer-in edging provides a perfect line separating your garden beds from your lawn, and also makes a physical barrier to keep grass roots from migrating into your beds. This edging is also easy to install, requiring few tools.
If you are interested in installing this edging for yourself, I have a CAD file available (www.glennfrazee.com/store/ste...) that you can send to your local steel supplier and have the pieces cut out. This can save you as much as 50% of the cost of ready-made edging. I recommend ordering the edging in 14 gauge ASTM A606, Type 4 or A588 (COR-TEN/weathering steel).

It's more expensive than plastic edging, but man, does it look (and perform) much better.

@Glenn, any chance you can share the CAD drawings? I'm trying to replicate this in the Seattle area. Approx, what was your cost per Linear Foot? Thanks!

Mr. Frazee, I love your DIY steel edging project. THANK YOU for sharing. With regards to your measurements, did you provide your steel suppliers measurements in ft or cm? Also did you break your measurements into sections; example the perimeter of your home, around your tree/s? Thank you again, Tristan
@GlennFrazeeYT
@GlennFrazeeYT 2 года назад
Hi Tristan, we use imperial measurements (feet and inches) where I live. As to how I broke up the pieces when installing, see the video. Tight curves are probably better done with short pieces as they're easier to handle.

Hi Glenn, do you think the 12" edging are tall enough to use as steps on my hillside with a slight bend?
@GlennFrazeeYT
@GlennFrazeeYT Год назад
I'd be worried about the edging being a tripping hazard. If you fill in behind it with soil and don't compact really well, it'll settle and leave the edging exposed to trip on.

How did this work for you? DId it keep the grass out of the beds? I already have a paver edge and got some steel edging I am going to pound in along the edge of the pavers, pretty much all the way into the yard. Only purpose is to reduce/block/stop the grass from growing in between the pavers and into the bedding. I got 3"

How do you handle a sloping lawn/flower bed?
@GlennFrazeeYT
@GlennFrazeeYT 3 года назад
The edging will bend to conform to slight slopes, but the end effect is that the steel will not be perfectly vertical. You can also trim the pieces to shorter lengths to approximate the curve.
@AaronLoes
@AaronLoes Месяц назад
Hey great work. This option might actually make this affordable for me. I'd like this for my project, but I'm not looking to have as much of the edging exposed as you did (think you said 3" in a previous comment). I'm looking to only have 1-2" exposed. For my situation, 6" seems like too much material. Would a 4" similar product be better suited for this or should I just pound the material in deeper?
@AaronLoes
@AaronLoes Месяц назад
That said, would you be willing to design a 4" version to sell on your store?
@GlennFrazeeYT
@GlennFrazeeYT Месяц назад
6" is probably the thinnest I would recommend
@cosmac55
@cosmac55 Месяц назад
How do you determine edging height between 6 -18" ? Type of soil determines depth of insertion?
@GlennFrazeeYT
@GlennFrazeeYT 28 дней назад
The 6" is for a typical installation. Taller edging would be if you want to do a raised bed.

I kind of would like to do a thicker steel. what are your thoughts on doing with 11 or 12 gauge? Is it still fairly bendable?
@GlennFrazeeYT
@GlennFrazeeYT 2 года назад
I recommend the 14ga, and even with that I was fighting the bends. Anything thicker will be hard to bend. If you only have straight shots, 12ga might be ok.
