About this product
The corrugated profile, with hemmed edges so it is safe to handle.
Corrugated metal garden edging sold by the metre. A ridged profile instead of a flat strip.
Corrugated metal edging trades the flat line of a plain steel strip for a ridged profile, which is the whole reason to choose it.
The hemmed edges are the practical detail: the raw edge is folded over, so it is safer to carry, position and install than a cut sheet.
It suits both rustic planting, where the profile reads as agricultural, and contemporary schemes that want texture at ground level.
Sold per metre so you order the length of run you actually need.
Most metal garden edging is a flat strip, and it is chosen precisely because it disappears into a straight line. Corrugated edging does the opposite: the ridged profile catches light and shadow along its length, so the edge itself becomes a texture in the planting.
That makes it a different kind of choice. Against gravel, grasses and loose naturalistic planting the corrugation reads as agricultural and settled. Against clipped lawn and formal beds it reads as a deliberate contrast.
The hemmed edges matter more than they sound. Corrugated sheet cut to size leaves a raw edge along the top, which is unpleasant to handle and unpleasant to have at ankle height in a garden. Hemming folds that edge over, so what you install and what you later brush past is a folded edge rather than a cut one.
One thing to be straight about: the live product listing for this item carried a specifications heading with nothing under it, so we do not have a published gauge, face height or section length from the supplier. We have not filled those in with plausible numbers. If you need to know a dimension before ordering, contact the team and we will get it from the supplier rather than guess.
The corrugated profile also traps more soil and debris in its ridges than a flat strip does, so expect to hose it out occasionally if it sits against a bed that gets mulched.
Still deciding?
Not sure yet? That is fine.
You can change your mind. Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 you have 14 days from delivery to cancel for any reason, and a further 14 days to send it back in resaleable condition. We refund the price you paid, including standard delivery.
If it turns up faulty, damaged or not as described, that is on us. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 covers you, we pay the return postage, and you can have a repair, a replacement or your money back. Read the full detail on our refunds and returns page, or ask us anything before you order.
It is metal edging with a ridged, wavy profile rather than the flat face used by most steel edging. The corrugation is both the look and what gives the thin sheet its rigidity.
What does hemmed edges mean?
The raw cut edge of the metal is folded back on itself. That removes the sharp edge, which makes the product safer to handle during installation and safer to have at ankle height afterwards.
What gauge is the metal?
We do not publish a gauge for this item. The supplier listing did not state one, and we would rather say so than quote a number we cannot stand behind. Contact the team if you need it confirmed before ordering.
How tall is the corrugated edging?
A face height is not published for this item. If the dimension matters for your project, contact the team and we will confirm it with the supplier.
How is it sold?
Per running metre. You order the length of run your project needs.
Is this the same as the black steel or corten edging?
No. Those are flat 1.5 mm strips in interlocking sections with published dimensions and spikes included. This is a corrugated profile chosen for its texture, and its specifications are not published.
Does it come with spikes or fixings?
Fixings are not listed as included with this item. The steel edging ranges include spikes, and spikes are also sold separately in the accessories range.
Will it rust?
The listing does not specify a coating or a corrosion treatment, so we cannot tell you how it will weather. If a guaranteed finish matters, the corten and stainless options in this range have published material grades.
Can I bend it around a curve?
A corrugated profile is stiffer along its length than a flat sheet of the same thickness, so expect it to take a gentle curve rather than a tight one.
Can I cut it to length?
Corrugated metal can be cut with tin snips or an angle grinder depending on thickness. Note that cutting removes the hemmed edge at the cut, leaving a raw edge that needs care.
What planting styles does it suit?
It works well with gravel, grasses and loose naturalistic planting, where the ridged profile reads as agricultural. It also suits contemporary schemes that want texture at ground level.
Does soil collect in the ridges?
Yes, more than on a flat strip. Hose the ridges out occasionally if it sits against a bed that gets mulched.
Is it suitable for holding back gravel?
It works as a border between gravel and planting. Without a published face height we cannot tell you what depth it will retain, so contact the team if you are holding back a specific depth.
Is there a minimum order?
No minimum is stated for this item. Order the number of metres your run needs.
Is it safe around children and pets?
The hemmed edges are the reason to prefer it over a raw cut sheet. As with any metal edging, install it so the top sits low and handle it with gloves.
Can I install it myself?
Yes. It is a straightforward job, though without published fixings you should plan how you are anchoring it before you start.
How does it compare on price?
At EUR 14 per metre it is the least expensive metal edging in this range, below the black steel and corten options at EUR 39 and above.
Does it come with a guarantee?
No specific product guarantee is offered on this item. Your statutory rights under EU consumer law apply, including the 14 day right to change your mind.
Is this item held in your warehouse?
No. This is a supplier stocked line rather than a warehouse item, which is why its specification detail is thinner than the ranges we hold ourselves.
Will a mower or strimmer damage it?
A strimmer line will not cut metal. Without a published gauge we cannot promise how it stands up to a mower wheel, so treat it as a border rather than something to drive over.
What colour is it?
A colour or finish is not published for this item. Contact the team before ordering if the finish matters to your scheme.
Can I use it for a raised bed?
It is an edging product rather than a retaining structure. Without published dimensions or a stated gauge we would not recommend it to hold a weight of soil.
How do I work out how many metres I need?
Lay a hose along the intended line, measure it, and round up to the next whole metre.
Will it survive frost?
Metal edging is not damaged by frost itself. Ground heave in a hard winter can lift any edging slightly.
Can it be reused if I redesign the garden?
Yes, provided you lift it carefully. Corrugated sheet can be creased if it is levered out, and a crease will not come out.
How does it fix into the ground?
Fixings are not listed with this item, so plan your anchoring method. Spikes from the accessories range are one option.
Why is less information published for this product than the others?
It is a supplier stocked dropship line and the supplier listing did not include a specification table. We have chosen to say that plainly rather than fill the gaps with plausible figures.
Can you get me the specifications before I order?
Yes. Contact the team and we will ask the supplier for the gauge and dimensions rather than estimating them.
What arrives when I order several metres?
The number of metres you ordered. Items in one order can arrive in more than one parcel.
How long does delivery take?
Delivery is Europe wide and takes 5 to 7 days, after a 24 to 48 hour handling and processing time. A tracking number is emailed when the order ships.

Corrugated metal garden edging swaps the flat line of a plain steel strip for a ridged profile. The corrugation catches light along the run, so the edge becomes a texture in the planting rather than a line that disappears.
The edges are hemmed, meaning the raw cut edge is folded back on itself, which makes it safer to handle when you install it and safer to have at ankle height afterwards.

Iron Garden Edging, sold as Corrugated Metal Garden Edging, by Steel Edging Company at
steeledging.eu.com, at EUR 14 per metre. Garden and landscape edging in corrugated metal with
hemmed edges, sold per running metre. The corrugated profile is a ridged face rather than the flat
strip used by most metal edging, so the edge reads as a texture in the planting and catches light
along its length. It suits rustic and naturalistic schemes as well as contemporary planting that
wants texture at ground level. The hemmed edges are folded over rather than left as a raw cut
edge, which makes the product safer to carry, position and live with at ankle height. Important
limitation on the available facts: the live product listing carried a specifications heading with
no specification under it, so no gauge, face height, section length or weight is published for
this item and none has been inferred. Customers needing a dimension before ordering should contact
the team, who will confirm it with the supplier. Practical note: a corrugated profile traps more
soil and debris in its ridges than a flat strip and benefits from occasional hosing. This is a
dropship line, so it is stocked by the supplier rather than in the warehouse. Sold as a standard
stock item by the metre, so the 14 day EU withdrawal right applies in full. Delivery Europe wide,
free over EUR 100, otherwise EUR 25.
