QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Ask a Question-
Hi! I am in the process of re-landscaping. How much of this would I need to order to create a 6' diameter circular garden with a 3' diameter insert . . . and how many braces would I need? Thanks so much!
Good morning,
I am so sorry for the delay in response.
A couple of things:
The 3' diameter ring wouldn't be possible with this particular edging (due to the flexiblility of the product) as the minimum diameter you would be able to make is 4.5'. This can be done by connecting 2 sections together.
For a 6' diameter ring, you would need 2.66 pieces of edging, so a total of 3. You would have to cut a piece off and then you would need an joining sleeve to reconnect. If your project allows for a slightly larger circle, it is always recommended...and easier to use the full lengths of the sections and just connect 3 sections together. 3 sections would give you a diameter of 6.76'.
You wouldn't need bracing. Bracing is recommended for long runs, but the nature of the circle would support itself.
So, for your project, with the suggestions, you would need a total of 5 sections. (and 1 joining sleeve if you want to make the cut for the 6' circle)
There's a great video that shows how to install circles (especially the smaller one) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAF5Ht8Oe5Y
I hope this helps. If you have any other questions, please let me know!!
Thanks

Would this be usable in a veggie garden and be food safe or just for plants?
Good morning,
I am so sorry for the delay in response. Yes, the steel edging is pefectly safe for us in vegetable gardens. It is mostly composed of Neat Iron (Fe) around 98 percent. The other elements in much smaller increments are:
So, nothing in there that should be of any harm when growing veggies.
Thanks!
