Steel edging bands and lawn edgings EASY-LINER

Clean borders and clear routing

Metal steel edging bands and lawn edging have been used in a variety of gardening and landscaping applications for more than 100 years. They serve classically as path edging, lawn edging or bed edging, providing clean lines and neat edges in gardens, parks and public spaces. Our Gartenmetall® system EASY-LINER is developed for the requirements of professional gardening and landscaping as well as for road construction and civil engineering and is already adapted ex works to the individual requirements on site.

We offer the strip steel made of Corten steel , stainless steel, color-coated stainless steel or hot-dip galvanized steel in standard lengths of three meters, in heights up to 350 mm and in thicknesses up to 12 mm. However, special dimensions, reinforced surfaces, curves and various connection options are always manufactured according to the customer’s template.

The metal bands can be hammered directly into the ground. More stable is an anchoring with welded flat anchors, with flat iron anchor for plugging or for highest load with L-profile and flat anchors for hammering in.

The elements can be easily bent by machine and can thus be used, for example, as prefabricated modules for farm gardens. Manual bending at the construction site is only possible to a limited extent and depends on the material thickness.

Tip: Snail protection with corten steel LINERS

Did you know that corten steel is an almost insurmountable obstacle for snails? Rust contains small amounts of copper, but it is sufficient to prevent snails from crawling further. This results in the ideal use of corten steel LINER as a vegetable bed.

EASY-LINER – ECO-LINER

In the EASY-LINER system, in contrast to the ECO-LINER system, all conceivable variants and fastening options of the metal lawn edges are available. The EASY-LINER are custom-made with the corresponding planning effort. This makes the EASY-LINER system more expensive, but more flexible. If price and delivery time are important to you, you should choose the ECO-LINER system. The prefabricated flat material made of normal structural steel, Corten steel or hot-dip galvanized steel can be delivered immediately from stock and adjusted to length on site using a cutting disc or metaläge. Fastening in the ground is done with local point foundations or flat iron anchors for plugging.

Options for path delimitation belts

Our metal path border bänder are not just simple metal bänder, but we have almost perfected them for professional gardening and landscaping: We offer you various connection options so that the bänder stably abut each other, e.g. with fork lug or screw lug.

1. Connections

Connection options for the individual LINER

2. Attachment to the bottom side

AWe have also come up with something for fixing in the ground: Our lawn edging is available, for example, with welded flat anchors or particularly convenient with flat iron anchors with a slot for the metal banding.

3. Top and reinforcement

The top of the metal liner is available with a classic deburred, chamfered or, for special requirements, beveled top edge. This makes the liner appear wider and provides more stability. In addition, the liner can be easily driven over with a lawnmower. Do you value 100 percent straight lines? Then we recommend that you choose EASY-LINER with a reinforcing profile. This ensures precise alignment even over particularly long distances.

Flat iron anchor for fastening the path boundary strips

The flat iron anchors for plugging are made of high quality Corten steel, precision beveled and with preload for the liners to be clamped. The anchors can be fixed in the ground in advance or hammered in together with the liners. This is so easy that for simpler construction projects, precise pre-planning for the installation is not necessary, as everything can be easily adjusted on site.

Farm garden module from prefabricated lawn edges

This is how simple and fast the planning of your farm garden or herb bed can be: Select module, edge length, sheet thickness and radius or diameter determine – ready! Four corner modules and one to three rings of metal lawn edging are needed for a complete construction garden. You will receive ready-welded corner modules, which, if necessary, are reinforced with cross braces for greater stability. Thus, the cottage garden can be quickly built from a few elements.

Frequently Asked Questions about EASY-LINER Path-Marking Tapes

EASY-LINER separates pathways, lawns, planting beds, gravel areas, terraces, and paved surfaces. The metal strips can be installed in straight lines, curves, or with defined corners. Additional applications include tree surrounds, cottage gardens, and the construction of individual stair steps. This makes the system particularly suitable for projects where alignment and connection details are determined during the planning stage.
EASY-LINER is available in Corten steel, stainless steel, hot-dip galvanized steel, and color-coated stainless steel. The choice of version depends on the desired surface finish, the surrounding environment, and the project's design specifications. A lawn edging made of Corten steel, for instance, develops its characteristic weathered-rust finish, whereas stainless steel or a color coating allows for a different approach to design integration.
EASY-LINERs are available in heights ranging from 100 to 350 mm and material thicknesses from 3 to 12 mm. Individual elements can be produced in lengths of up to 2,980 mm. In addition, custom lengths, corners, and curves can be planned on a project-specific basis. Consequently, for longer runs, the key factors are not only the dimensions of the individual metal strip but also the layout of the elements and their connections.
EASY-LINER is designed for projects requiring precise alignment of dimensions, curves, corners, fixings, or connections with the project plans. The elements can be manufactured as a ready-to-install kit based on site measurements or plans.

In contrast, ECO-LINER relies on a limited range of standard variants made from Corten steel or hot-dip galvanized steel. These strips are supplied from stock and typically cut to size on-site. Consequently, ECO-LINER can be the more cost-effective choice when price and immediate availability are the priorities.

EASY-LINERs should be embedded in the ground to a depth of approximately one-third of their total height, but at least 100 mm. The specific anchoring required depends on the sub-base, the height of the edging, the layout of the lines, and the expected load. In areas subject to heavy use, additional securing—such as spot footings or a concrete foundation—may be advisable.
Several mounting options are available. Plug-in flat steel anchors are frequently used. Alternatively, welded flat anchors, drive-in flat anchors, L-profile versions, or pre-configured solutions for embedding in concrete are possible.

The choice of mounting method should not be left until the installation stage. Particularly in the case of long sightlines, connections to paving, or areas subject to high loads, it is advisable to determine the mounting method during the planning phase of the edging strip.

Yes. Curved sections can be produced during manufacturing based on sketches, site measurements, or CAD data. This is particularly advantageous for specified radii or recurring shapes.

Bending on-site is possible only to a limited extent. As material thickness increases, metal strips become significantly more difficult to shape by hand. For a material thickness of 3 mm, for example, a radius of more than approximately 3 m serves as a guideline for manual adjustment. Tighter or precisely defined radii should be prefabricated.

For long, straight runs, EASY-LINER can be fabricated with a continuous reinforcement profile. This enhances dimensional stability and makes it easier to align the visible top edge. A folded top edge can also provide additional stability to the strip.

For projects with long sightlines, it is advisable to determine the layout, element spacing, and fastening details prior to production, rather than establishing the straight alignment solely on-site.

For lawn areas, the top edge of the EASY-LINER can be bent over by 60 mm. This design creates a wider mowing edge while simultaneously increasing the stability of the metal strip.

Areas accessible to vehicles are also possible, though they require a specially designed structure. According to Gartenmetall’s technical specifications, EASY-LINER units with a material thickness of 8 mm or more can be driven over by passenger cars or trucks, provided they are installed flush with the ground and on a suitable foundation. The specific design should be planned based on the anticipated load.

For project-specific fabrication, key factors include the layout and total length, material, height, and material thickness, as well as the desired connection and mounting methods. Corners and radii should be specified in a sketch, site measurements, or a planning file.

For such projects, Gartenmetall can create an installation-ready kit featuring numbered elements and an installation plan. Existing PDF or DXF plans, for instance, can serve as a basis for landscape architects and planning firms.
