FAQS RITE-EDGE
Frequently Asked Questions
• What is RITE-EDGE made from? A high grade Aluminium
alloy, commonly used in aircraft structures for its long life
and flexibility.
• What is the best way to install RITE-EDGE in my garden?
See page 31 for full instructions.
• Can I bend RITE-EDGE? Yes. For gentle curves the
aluminium has a degree of flexibility and will bend naturally.
For tighter bends or circles the aluminium can be shaped
round a solid object such as a tree trunk or gate post. Sharpe
acute bends or corners can be achieved by using a standard
90 degree corner piece or alternatively by bending the RITE-
EDGE over an object with a square/sharp corner such as a
block of wood, a brick or the edge of a work bench.
• How do I join the lengths of RITE-EDGE together? The
most effective method is to use the unique Telescopic
System inbuilt into each length of RITE-EDGE using the
unique extruded shape which allows the pieces to slide
together. The recommended overlap is 50mm and this not
only holds the two pieces together in a standard straight line
it also allows for lateral movement when retaining stakes are
driven into the ground securing it in the desired place. For a
flush fit simply place a small piece of RITE-EDGE behind the
joint and slide the pieces together at the front - packs of
joining pieces can be purchased separately.
• Can I cut my lawn where I have installed RITE-EDGE? Yes,
provided you have installed the edging at the recommended
2-6mms above the ground level of the lawn. If you have
installed the product proud of the lawn (ie. in order to retain
a bed) then cut as close as you can with the lawnmower and
then use a ‘trimmer’ to get right up to the edging. Plastic line
trimmers will not damage the product.
• Can I remove the RITE-EDGE once I have installed it? Yes,
by pulling the barbed stakes out of the ground and pulling
out the edging.
• What maintenance will I need to carry out on my RITE-
EDGE? None. RITE-EDGE is made from Aluminium so it does
not rust, crack, rot and will never need repainting.
• Do you offer an installation service? No but any good
local gardening or landscape service would be able to install
it for you.
• Is the product guaranteed? Yes, the RITE-EDGE product is
guaranteed for quality and workmanship, however we
cannot be held responsible for the installation or the use of
the product once it has been delivered to a customers
premises.
• What is the delivery time if I place an order today? We
have stock in the UK for same day delivery or collection from
Cobham, Surrey.
• How long will it last? Aluminium has been used in industry
and the field of aviation for years and is known to be strong,
light and durable, capable of giving many years of service.
There are installations of Aluminium edges that are still in
good condition after 27 years.
