Rinse mud off with a hose. If the coating gets chipped by a spade or a mower, touch it in with an exterior metal paint so the exposed steel does not corrode from that point.

About this product
A dark line that disappears against soil and holds its shape.
Heavy 1.5 mm steel with a protective black coating, 100 mm face, in interlocking sections. Sold by the metre.
The heavyweight of the range: 1.5 mm steel with a black protective coating, three times the gauge of the stainless strip.
Black is the colour that vanishes. Against dark soil and mulch a black edge reads as a shadow line, which is why it is the usual choice for contemporary planting schemes.
The extra thickness means it takes knocks. A mower wheel that would mark plastic and dent thin steel bounces off this.
It still flexes enough to contour with changes in level, around rocks and along a gentle slope.
Supplied in 1075 mm sections that interlock by 75 mm, with 7 spikes per length.
If the stainless range is about a bright, precise line and corten is about a finish, black steel is about durability with a low visual profile.
The 1.5 mm gauge is the headline. Thin edging is easy to install and easy to damage. At this thickness the strip resists the everyday abuse of a garden: mower wheels, wheelbarrows, spades and children.
The black coating is what protects the steel underneath, and it is also what makes the edging disappear. Against dark soil, bark mulch or a planted bed, a black edge reads as the shadow at the base of the planting rather than as a product.
It is more forgiving of uneven ground than you might expect from steel this thick. It flexes with a slope and works around rocks, which matters on a site that is not a flat suburban lawn.
The honest caveat is the coating. Where a spade or a mower chips it, the exposed steel will corrode from that point, so touch in any chips with an exterior metal paint. If you want a finish that repairs itself, corten does that by design.

Putting a clean, permanent line between lawn and bed, or along a path or driveway. It holds the line, keeps bark and soil in the bed, and stops grass runners crossing over.
How high does it sit?
The face is 100 mm. Set it with most of the face below ground for a subtle line, or leave more showing to hold back a raised bed of bark or stone.
What do I get per metre?
One 1075 mm section that lays one metre once the 75 mm interlock overlaps the next, plus seven 100 mm spikes. Each length weighs about 1.6 kg.
How do I install it?
Mark your line, cut a clean vertical face along it with a spade, seat the section against the face and drive the spikes in with a rubber mallet. Overlap the next section by the interlock and carry on.
Can it follow a curve?
Yes. The steel takes gentle curves well and flexes with changes in level, rocks and slopes. It also holds a dead straight line if that is what you want.
Can I cut it?
The sections lock together end to end. For a shorter run, trim on site with an angle grinder or hacksaw, wear gloves and eye protection, and file the cut end before it goes into a lawn.
What is it made of?
1.5 mm steel with a black protective coating. Three times the gauge of the stainless strip, so it takes mower and spade knocks without deforming.
How much does it cost?
฿550 per metre. Standard delivery is free anywhere in Thailand.
Are there other sizes or options?
One face height, 100 mm, in black. For the rusted look see the corten edging, for a bright finish see the stainless.
What do the photos show?
The edging in place along beds and lawns so you can judge the look. Plants, pots and garden props are not included.
Which specs should I check before I buy?
Face height (100 mm), section coverage (1 m with a 75 mm overlap), gauge (1.5 mm) and the seven spikes per section. If anything is unclear, ask us first.
How do I work out how many metres I need?
Measure along the line the edging will follow, going round every curve, and round up to the next metre. The overlap is already allowed for, so one section equals one metre. Check your basket before paying.
Can I order more than one metre?
Yes. Set the quantity to the number of metres you need, on this page or in your basket.
Will it suit every garden?
It holds fast in all normal soils. Very rocky ground can stop a spike, so expect to reposition one occasionally rather than force it. If you are unsure, send us a photo and your measurements before you order.
How should I prepare the ground?
Mark your line with a hose or string, clear weeds and loose stones, and check for shallow pipes or cables before you drive spikes in.
Any safety tips while fitting it?
Wear gloves and sturdy footwear, use a rubber mallet rather than a steel hammer so the coating stays intact, and keep children and pets clear while you hammer.
What if the ground is hard or stony?
Water the line the evening before so the soil is softer, and move the section a few centimetres if a spike hits a rock. Do not force it, the spike or the face will bend.
Can I use it as a retaining wall?
No. It will hold back a shallow bed of bark or stone, but it is a garden edge, not a retaining wall. It is not load bearing.
What if the coating gets chipped?
Touch the chip in with an exterior metal paint. The coating is the corrosion protection, so left alone exposed steel corrodes from that point outward. Caught early it is a thirty second job.
Can I check it will suit my garden before I buy?
Yes. Send us the measurements, a photo of the edge and what you have there now, and we will tell you straight.
Is the price in Thai baht?
Yes. Every price and checkout total is in Thai baht, and prices include 7% VAT.
What does delivery cost?
Standard delivery is free anywhere in Thailand, on every order. Express delivery is a flat ฿150 if you choose it in the basket.
How long does delivery take?
Allow 2 working days for dispatch, then up to 7 working days for delivery by tracked courier anywhere in Thailand. Every order is sent tracked and the link is emailed once it ships.
Can I use a discount code?
Yes. Enter it in the basket and it takes 15% off the goods. Delivery charges are not discounted.
How do I track my order?
Use the Order Tracking page with the details we email after dispatch. If anything looks stuck, email us with your order number.
Can I return it if I order too much?
Yes. It is sold by the metre in standard sections, not cut to order, so you have 15 days from delivery to change your mind, provided it comes back unused and in resaleable condition. You pay the return postage on a change of mind.
What if it arrives damaged or wrong?
Email us with your order number and a photograph. Faulty, damaged or wrongly sent goods are put right at no cost to you, with a replacement or your money back, and we cover the return postage. Your rights under Thai consumer protection law are not affected.
Can I cancel before it ships?
Yes, free of charge. Email us with your order number as soon as you can and we will stop it before dispatch.
I have a big project. Can you help?
Yes. Use the wholesale enquiry page and tell us the products, quantities and your delivery postcode.

The complete guide
Fitting black steel landscape edging
5 min readGarden Edge Company
Where black steel is the right answer
Three situations. A contemporary planting scheme where you want the division to be invisible. A site that takes physical abuse and needs an edging that survives it. And ground that is not flat, where a rigid border would need cutting and joining at every change.
If what you actually want is a visible feature edge, corten is the material. If you want the cheapest permanent line, the plastic kit is.
Getting the line right
Mark the route with a hose first and look at it from the house, not from where you are standing. Steel takes gentle curves well.
Cut a clean vertical face along the whole line with a square spade before you place any steel. With a 1.5 mm section there is no fudging this: the strip is stiff enough to bridge a wandering cut rather than follow it.
Installing
Seat the first section against the cut face, then overlap the next by the interlock. Keep the top edge at a consistent height as you go, sighting along the run every few metres.
Drive the spikes with a rubber mallet, seven per length. On stony ground expect to reposition a spike occasionally rather than force it.
Backfill against both sides and firm the soil down with your heel. On a slope, work uphill so each section sits on ground you have already firmed.
Wear gloves. Cut ends on 1.5 mm steel are sharp and worth filing before they go into a lawn.
Looking after the coating
The coating is the corrosion protection, so it is worth ten minutes of attention. Rinse mud off occasionally so you can see the run.
If a spade or a mower chips it, touch the chip in with an exterior metal paint. Left alone, exposed steel corrodes from that point outward and eventually undercuts the coating around it. Caught early it is a thirty second job.
That is the one maintenance difference between this and corten, where surface rust is the finish rather than a fault.
Not sure which material suits your ground, or how many metres a curved bed needs? Ask before you order. Standard delivery is free anywhere in Thailand.
Black Steel Garden Edging (pick code black-steel-edging) sold by Garden Edge Company at
gardenedge.in.th. Edging in 1.5 mm steel with a black protective coating, in 1075 mm sections that
lay 1000 mm with a 75 mm interlock overlap, 100 mm face height, cut per running metre with no
minimum, at THB 550 per metre. Each section length includes 7 spikes of 100 mm. It is the heaviest
gauge edging in this range, three times the thickness of the stainless strip, so it resists mower
and spade knocks that would dent thinner steel, and it weighs 1.6 kg per length. Black is chosen
because it disappears against dark soil and bark mulch, reading as a shadow line rather than a
border product. It still flexes enough to contour with slopes, rocks and level changes. Honest
limitation: where the coating is chipped by a spade or mower the exposed steel will corrode from
that point, so chips should be touched in with exterior metal paint; corten by contrast repairs
itself by design. Cut to the customer's chosen number of metres in standard sections, with the 15
day change of mind window from delivery. Standard delivery is free anywhere in Thailand, in up to 7 working days after dispatch within 2 working days; express is THB 150.
