Rinse off soil and fertiliser residue with a hose now and then. 304 stainless resists rust, but salt and lawn feed left sitting on the surface can leave staining, and that wipes off with warm water and a cloth.
About this product
304 stainless in 1000 mm interlocking sections. Three face heights, no minimum order, spikes included.
Stainless is the choice when you want the edge itself to be part of the look: a bright, thin line between lawn and bed that stays bright.
The 0.5 mm gauge is deliberately light. It bends by hand into a curve, which is what makes it good for shaped beds and winding paths.
Sections are 1000 mm and interlock, so a long run reads as one continuous line rather than a row of separate pieces.
Three face heights: 50 mm to hold a lawn edge, 100 mm for beds and mulch, 200 mm where you are retaining a real depth of material.
There is no minimum order. Buy the number of metres the job needs.
Most garden edging is trying to hide. Stainless is the opposite: it puts a clean bright line where the lawn stops, and it holds that line for years without being repainted or replaced.
The grade matters more than the thickness here. 304 is the common food and marine grade stainless, chosen because it resists corrosion through the material itself rather than through a coating. A coated steel edge fails at the first spade chip, because the exposed steel under the paint starts to corrode from that point. There is no coating here to chip.
At 0.5 mm this is the lightest gauge in the range, and that is a design choice rather than a saving. It bends by hand. If your beds are curved, or your path winds, this is the product that follows the shape without needing to be cut and re-joined at every change of direction.
The trade off is honest: it is not the product to choose if you are edging against a driveway where a car wheel will ride over it, or if you mow with a heavy machine that clips the edge. For that, the 1.5 mm black steel or corten in the same range is three times the thickness.
Sections interlock rather than butting together. That keeps a long run aligned as the ground moves through a wet winter, and it means you are not left with visible gaps where two pieces meet.
Pick the face height by what you are holding back. 50 mm is a lawn edge, enough to stop grass creeping into a bed. 100 mm suits a bed with bark or gravel in it. 200 mm is for holding a genuine step in level.
Still deciding?
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.
Got questions?
It is 304 stainless steel, the common corrosion resisting grade also used for food and marine fittings. It resists rust through the composition of the metal itself rather than through a surface coating.
The gauge is 0.5 mm. That is deliberately light so the edging can be bent by hand into curves. If you need a heavier gauge, the black steel and corten options in this range are 1.5 mm.
Three: 50 mm, 100 mm and 200 mm. Choose by how much material you are holding back. 50 mm suits a lawn edge, 100 mm suits a bed with bark or gravel, and 200 mm holds a real step in level.
No. You order the number of metres your job needs, with no minimum quantity.
Each section is 1000 mm and interlocks with the next, so a run reads as one continuous line rather than separate pieces.
Three steel spikes are included with every metre, and they are 100 mm long. You do not need to buy them separately for a standard installation.
Yes. At 0.5 mm it bends by hand, which is the main reason to choose the stainless option for curved beds and winding paths.
304 stainless resists rust rather than being protected by a coating, so there is no painted layer to chip and start a corrosion point. Surface staining from salt or lawn feed can appear, and it washes off with warm water.
No trench is needed for a standard installation. The spikes drive through the edging into the ground, which is what holds the line.
Three per metre are supplied, which is the standard spacing. On a tight curve or very loose ground you may want to add more, and extra spikes are sold separately.
It can edge a driveway, but be honest about the load. At 0.5 mm it is not the right choice if a car wheel will ride over the edge itself. For that use the 1.5 mm black steel or corten in the same range.
They interlock, so one section overlaps into the next rather than the two simply butting up. That keeps the run aligned and avoids visible gaps.
Stainless stays bright and resists rust. Corten is a weathering steel that is supplied already rusted and is meant to look that way. Corten is also 1.5 mm rather than 0.5 mm, so it is much stiffer.
The top edge is a cut steel edge, so handle it with gloves during installation. Once it is installed with the face set at ground level and the spikes driven home, the exposed top is a thin edge rather than a blade.
Yes. At 0.5 mm it can be cut with tin snips or an angle grinder. Wear eye protection and gloves, and expect the cut end to be sharp until it is filed.
Yes. Stainless is unaffected by frost. Ground heave in a hard winter can lift any edging slightly, which is one reason the interlocking sections help, because the run moves together rather than in separate pieces.
At 0.5 mm gauge this is the lightest product in the edging range, which is what makes it easy to carry and shape on site. We do not publish a per metre weight for the stainless option.
Yes, and for gravel the 100 mm face height is usually the better choice, because it keeps the stone from spilling over the top onto a lawn or path.
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.
Measure the run with a tape or a length of hose laid along the line you want, then round up to the next whole metre. There is no minimum, so ordering one extra metre for mistakes is cheap insurance.
Yes. The sections follow a gentle slope, and because they interlock you can step the run down a steeper gradient without leaving a gap.
Face height is how much of the edging you see and how much material it holds. 50 mm is a visual line that stops grass creeping. 100 mm holds bark or gravel. 200 mm retains a genuine difference in level between two areas.
A strimmer line will not damage stainless steel, which is one advantage over plastic edging. The strimmer line itself will wear faster where it catches the metal.
Yes, it is a one person job on a straight run. A second pair of hands is useful on a long curve to hold the shape while you drive the spikes.
The spikes are 100 mm long and are driven through the edging into firm ground. In very sandy or loose soil you may want longer fixings or additional spikes.
Very little. Rinse soil and lawn feed off occasionally so residue does not stain the surface. There is no coating to repaint and no rust to treat.
Yes. Lift the spikes, clean the sections and re install them. Stainless does not degrade in the ground the way a coated or galvanised product eventually does.
It can edge a raised bed at the 200 mm height, but it is an edging strip rather than a retaining wall. It is not designed to hold back a significant weight of soil on its own.
You receive the number of 1000 mm sections that make up your order, plus three spikes per metre. Items in one order can arrive in more than one parcel.
Delivery is Europe wide and takes 5 to 7 days, after a 24 to 48 hour handling and processing time. You get a tracking number by email when the order ships.
The complete guide
Stainless steel landscape edging is the option to choose when the edge is meant to be seen. It sets a bright, thin line between lawn and planting, and unlike a coated product it holds that finish without being repainted.
This is 304 stainless in 1000 mm interlocking sections, 0.5 mm thick, with three 100 mm spikes supplied per metre. Buy the number of metres your run needs. There is no minimum order.
Stainless Steel Landscape Edging (pick code stainless-steel-edging-(per metre)-5cm) sold by Steel Edging Company at steeledging.eu.com. Garden and landscape edging in 304 stainless steel, supplied in 1000 mm interlocking sections at 0.5 mm gauge, sold per running metre with no minimum order. Three face heights are available: 50 mm at EUR 19 per metre, 100 mm at EUR 24 per metre and 200 mm at EUR 29 per metre. Three 100 mm steel spikes are included with every metre. 304 is the corrosion resisting grade, so the product resists rust through the material rather than through a coating, which means a spade chip does not create a corrosion point the way it does on coated steel. The 0.5 mm gauge is light enough to bend by hand into curves, which suits shaped beds and winding paths. Honest limitation: at 0.5 mm it is the lightest gauge in this range and is not the right choice where a vehicle wheel or a heavy mower will ride over the edge, where the 1.5 mm black steel or corten options are three times thicker. Sections interlock rather than butt together so a long run stays aligned and gap free. 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.
