Rowlinson Easy Fix Spiked Border Roll (Pack of 4)

The stakes make installation easy and secure. I've used a similar product without the stakes, which had to be partially buried for stability., which was time consuming. This was a snap!

Delivery arrived earlier than estimated which was good. It was bought to replace a much older row. It looks good and sturdy

Log edging doesn’t last forever, such is its nature. But compared with the fiddle of putting the standard log roll in place, this is a breeze. The four extended pegs are sturdy and you can fix long runs of 1.8 mtr lengths in double quick time, after which it seems happy to stay put. It will happily adopt to curves and undulations. Worth the extra bit of money, and delivery has been reliable.

I had a curved area to border. Easy to fit but will probably buy some spikes to shore up.

I ordered one of these packs to go round a flower bed inside a gravelled area. I used this to replace some ancient concrete kerbstone blocks that were discoloured and crumbling. The product was good quality and easy to use, the built in spikes are a great feature - so much so that I was able to easily reshape the flower bed into a circle shape which I prefer. That good experience led me to order a second batch for use on other flower beds in the same area. Second batch quality was not as good - looks as if it could have been lying in a warehouse for a while, hence the 4 stars.

Pleased with this border roll which arrived well packed and quickly. Find the idea of the spikes on the bottom really helps fitting. Used a rubber mallet to drive the spikes into the soil and works a treat. Also like the fact that this edging allows you to create curves easily. Not sure about longevity yet but like the natural colouring which blends into the garden well.Would be good to have different heights of this to choose from so you could create a sloped flower bed but in the meantime these are good for my purpose.

Because I bought the spiked border roll during winter its taken me a while to use it. However now the weather is improving and its drier, I used it yesterday and found it to be excellent. I bought it to replace a border roll which had lasted about 12 years before finally disintegrating. When I did the other I had to make my own spikes to fit the roll to and then nail them to it. With Rowlingson including the spikes it was so much easier and quicker to install and now looks very nice. If it also lasts as long as the old stuff did I shall be well pleased. Though I might not be here by then to have to do it again. Highly recommended!

Once the utter confusion over the delivery was over I was very impressed with this product. A bit pricey considering B&Q £25ish for 4. You will need a wire cutter to separate the individual sections that for some reason are attached at odd location. I think mine was near the end of the stock as the wire connecting was quite rusty and the plastic wrapping was near the end of its life.
