PICK OF THE CROP The leading edge When you first think of stunning outdoor areas, an assortment of plants and pavers may come to mind. Garden edging is rarely at the top of the list but you’ll be surprised at just how much clean borders and raised garden beds can set your landscape apart from the average. FormBoss metal garden edging has been supplying designers, landscapers and weekend DIYers all over Australia for almost 10 years. What sets FormBoss apart is the fact that you can produce straight lines, curves and garden beds on-site with unprecedented ease, needing little to no experience. The rolled top lip makes the edging completely safe and allows you to easily connect the edging. Anchoring the edging into the ground will completely conceal all fixings. Eight heights are available ranging from 75mm to 580mm in both ZAM and Corten steel.
