Edging - How to use Filcris Recycled Plastic Edging

Why use recycled plastic edging?

With so many edging products on the market it is difficult to choose the best. Woven willow material can look great, but it will only last a very short time. Brick and stone edging can last a very long time but will be very expensive and can also be so wide that it can be visually distracting. Wood is a traditional material and can be quite attractive, but even when treated will have a very short lifespan because it will decay very quickly. Recycled plastic will last for more than 40 years before there are even signs of fading and will remain structurally sound indefinitely. 

There are also other plastic edgings available These may be cheaper but they are generally flimsy in comparison to Filcris Recycled Plastic Edging and will not stand up to very much wear and tear. Remember – the reason edgings are useful is because the places they go are subject to high levels of wear and erosion.

Steel systems look great to begin with, but are powder coated to protect them, and this powder coating quickly chips off, allowing moisture in and rust to develop. Steel edging can also seriously damage expensive lawn mowing equipment.

What are the advantages of Filcris Recycled Edging System

• Durable: put recycled plastic in the ground and it will remain unchanged for decades.
• Flexibility!: The 18mm x 140mm x 3m plank can be bent in a circle meaning it can conform to a radius of less than 75cm. The 24mm is less flexible but can conform to a radius of 1m.
• Tough: tough, resiliant, hard wearing.
• Long: meaning grand sweeping curves can easily be created
• Deep: 140 - 150mm deep, whereas most systems on the market are 100 – 125mm deep – this is useful for deeper beds.
• Recycled: helping to reduce the impact of waste plastic on our environment. The material is made from Recycled Milk Flagons and other packaging.
