Setup and Installation
This garden edging requires no complex assembly. Its flexible nature allows for straightforward installation by simply inserting it into the soil.
- Prepare the Area: Clear the area where the edging will be installed of any debris, rocks, or excessive vegetation. Ensure the ground is relatively level.
- Unroll the Edging: Carefully unroll the desired length of the vidaXL Flexible Garden Edging.
- Positioning: Place the edging along the desired boundary for your flower bed, path, or pond. The material's flexibility allows it to be easily bent to form curves or maintain straight lines.
- Secure in Soil: Gently push the bottom edge of the border into the soil. For softer soil, it may be possible to push it in by hand. For firmer soil, a rubber mallet can be used to tap the top edge, ensuring it is driven to the desired depth. Ensure the edging is stable and upright.
- Connecting Sections (if applicable): If using multiple sections, overlap the ends slightly and secure them together using appropriate garden stakes or connectors (not included) for added stability.

Operating Principles
The vidaXL Flexible Garden Edging functions as a physical barrier to define garden areas, prevent soil erosion, and contain mulch or gravel. Its primary operational benefit is its ability to maintain garden aesthetics and organization with minimal effort after installation.
- Boundary Definition: Clearly separates different garden elements, such as lawns from flower beds, or paths from planting areas.
- Material Containment: Helps to keep garden materials like soil, mulch, gravel, or decorative stones within their designated areas, preventing spread.
- Weed Barrier: Can act as a partial barrier against the spread of certain types of weeds or grass roots from adjacent areas.
Maintenance
The vidaXL Flexible Garden Edging is designed for low maintenance due to its durable and weather-resistant PE material.
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe down the visible surface of the edging with a damp cloth to remove dirt or mud. A mild soap solution can be used for stubborn stains, followed by rinsing with water.
- Inspection: Annually inspect the edging for any signs of damage or displacement, especially after extreme weather conditions.
- Re-securing: If any section becomes loose or shifts, gently push it back into place or re-secure it in the soil as needed.
- UV Resistance: The material is UV-resistant, minimizing fading or degradation from sun exposure over time.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Edging is not staying upright or straight. | Insufficient depth in soil; soil too loose; uneven ground. | Ensure the edging is pushed deep enough into the soil. Compact the soil around the base. Consider using additional garden stakes (not included) for extra support, especially in loose soil or for long, straight runs. |
| Edging appears warped or uneven. | Improper installation; ground settling. | Re-adjust the section by gently bending it back into shape and re-securing it. Ensure the ground beneath is level before installation. |
| Difficulty bending the edging for curves. | Cold temperatures making the material less flexible. | Allow the edging to warm up in the sun for a period before attempting to bend it, which will increase its flexibility. |
