If you've ever found yourself frustrated with wobbly plastic edging that cracks in our harsh sun, timber borders that rot after a few seasons, or pavers that shift with every heavy rainfall, you're not alone. Here in Australia, our unique climate demands tougher solutions – and that's exactly where premium metal garden edging comes to the rescue.
Why Traditional Edging Just Doesn't Cut It Down Under
Let’s face it – our Australian climate is brutal on garden materials. That UV-intense sunshine we love so much destroys plastic edging in no time, turning it brittle and unsightly. Timber borders? They might look natural and charming at first, but between our termites, humidity, and seasonal downpours, you'll find yourself replacing them before you know it. Even brick and stone edging can shift and settle as our soil expands and contracts through our extreme weather cycles.
The Metal Garden Edging Revolution
Unbeatable Durability That Stands Up to Aussie Conditions
Whether you're battling coastal salt spray in Sydney, Melbourne's “four seasons in one day,” Brisbane’s tropical downpours, or Perth’s scorching heat, quality metal garden edging is built to last:
- Corten steel edging (also known as weathering steel) develops that gorgeous rustic patina that not only looks stunning against green foliage but actually forms a protective layer that prevents further corrosion.
- Other Redcor® options include 2.0mm and 2.5mm.
- Galvanized steel garden edging offers excellent corrosion resistance even in coastal areas. Available in 2.0mm and 2.5mm as well.
You’ll also find FormBoss Redcor® edging and FormBoss Galvanized options that deliver the same outstanding results.
