Garden Edging Stakes and Connectors from Formboss

To meet the needs of what you're trying to achieve for your garden design, there are a range of connector and staking options available for FormBoss Metal Garden Edging systems.

The general rule of thumb for selecting the right stake is making sure the stake is more than twice the profile height as a minimum.

The first option is the tapered stake. This option is ideal for edging profiles up to 150mm high, and works great at strengthening and anchoring most standard applications.

For general applications we here at Formboss strongly recommend 3 stakes spaced out evenly per length of steel (2.44m).

This works out to be every 813mm. You'll just need to place one in the centre and one at each end about 400mm from your connection. These stakes are sold individually.

The second option is the angled stakes. These stakes are specially manufactured to suit both higher strength jobs and retaining applications.

As a general rule, you should space angled stakes at the same *3 per length (every 813mm). If you have a high strength job such as a straight 400mm retaining wall, or steps of any size, it is highly recommended to increase the quantity to *4 per length, this will work out to be spacing them every 610mm.

If your steps are narrow you'll need a minimum of 1 angled stake per side. You insert the top lip of the stake under the lip of the edging the same as you would with the tapered stakes. Angled stakes are sold individually.

You are strongly advised to file off all sharp edges and cold gal spray paint any exposed bare metals for maximum longevity (and safety).

Connectors and screws are included FREE with every order. We'll work out how many you need when you order!
