Metalflex is the lightweight galvanized L-shaped edging, ideal in combination with ECCOgravel. The top layer of the gravel stabilisation sits flush with the upright side, making the edging virtually invisible.

How do you install Metalflex?

Step 1 - Determine the layout 

Determine the course of the edging using a tape measure and a string line. This forms the basis for accurate placement. 

Step 2 - Bend the shape (if applicable) 

This step is only necessary for curved lines. Carefully bend the Metalflex into the desired shape; the cut-outs in the L-shaped base allow the edging to follow the layout. 

Step 3 - Install the edging 

Place the edging along the marked-out layout. Secure it into the subsoil by hammering the supplied nails into the base of the L-shape. 

Step 4 - Connect 

Connect the edging sections to each other using the supplied bolt and nut. 

Optional - Extra reinforcement 

For applications with heavier loads, such as along the side of a driveway, we recommend reinforcing the edging further by setting it in concrete.
