Metal path edging strips and lawn edgings

Low-priced ECO-LINER

The ECO-LINER path edging strips are a simple and cost-effective option for gardening and landscaping as well as for road construction and civil engineering. The path edging tapes are used in public areas, for example for path edging or bed edging in parks and squares. But even in private gardens, the bands of corten steel or other types of metal can quickly and easily draw clear boundaries.

In contrast to the EASY-LINER way limitation system, there are practically no variants of the ECO-LINER. The prefabricated flat material is supplied from stock in lengths of 200 cm and 300 cm. On the construction site, the metal strips are simply cut to the appropriate length using a cutting disc or metal saw. Our flat iron anchors can be used for fastening. These are hammered into the floor and thus fix the metal strip securely and stably at the desired depth.

Standard dimension of the steel edging bands

In favor of a low price and the possibility of delivery from stock, metal lawn edgings are limited in dimensions and materials, unlike EASY-LINERS. In stock we have two standard lengths 200 cm and 300 cm, which can be cut to size on site. Note: For sheet thickness 2 mm, the liner length is 1,920 mm instead of 2,000 mm for technical reasons. However, there are numerous variants for the heights and the material thickness. The exact dimensions can be found in the product information. .

As a rule, the strips can be bent manually: With a sheet thickness of 3 mm, radii > 300 cm can be bent by hand. With a sheet thickness of 2 mm, even radii > 100 cm are possible!

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.

Installation and installation tips for path delimitation strips

The installation of the lawn edges is very simple. The metal edges – whether made of Corten steel, steel or in hot-dip galvanized design – can be cut to the appropriate length directly on site. Hot-dip galvanized LINER must be sealed at the cut edge with zinc covering spray. For driving in the LINER should be laid as protection of the upper edge of an intermediate timber.

Mounting support by flat iron anchors or by point foundations

Flat iron anchor with receiving slot

The flat iron anchors for plugging serve to fix the Bänder stable in the ground. Per 100 cm we recommend the use of one anchor. The anchors are made of high-quality Corten steel or stainless steel, precision beveled and with pretension for the liners to be clamped. There are two different shapes of flat iron anchors: for straight lines and for outside corners. Attention: The flat iron anchors are copyrighted!

The advantages of the anchors are mainly that a precise pre-planning for the assembly is no longer necessary. One fährt with a „box“ flat iron anchors, a „stack“ liners and a cut-off machine (Flex) to the construction site and simply builds off.

Anchor for straight lines and corners

The flat iron anchor für straight lines offers a stable receiving slot, which fixes the path delimitation tape stably. It is fixed in the ground together with the LINER. Plate thickness flat iron anchor: 3 mm.

Fixing the path border strips and lawn edges

There are numerous ways to fasten the ECO-LINERs in the ground using flat iron anchors. The following examples will give you ideas on how the installation can be done quickly and easily in practice.

Difference of the path delimitation bands

ECO-LINER and EASY-LINER

Whoever is primarily concerned with price and delivery time should choose the ECO-LINER system. Unlike the EASY-LINERS, there are hardly any variants here. Prefabricated lawn edgings and path bordering bänder made of normal structural steel, corten steel or hot-dip galvanized steel can be delivered immediately from stock and adjusted to length on site with a cutting disc or metaläge. The fastening in the ground is done with local point foundations and flat iron anchors for plugging.

Frequently Asked Questions about ECO-LINER Path Edging and Lawn Edging

ECO-LINERs are suitable for delineating paths, lawns, planting beds, gravel and paved areas, and terraces. Depending on the installation context, they can serve as path borders, lawn edges, mowing strips, or bed edgings. The system is designed for use in landscaping, road and civil engineering, public outdoor spaces, and high-end private gardens.
ECO-LINER units are available in Corten steel and hot-dip galvanized steel. When exposed to the elements, Corten steel develops its characteristic patina of stable rust. Hot-dip galvanized steel gains technical corrosion protection from its zinc coating. Stainless steel or color-coated versions are not part of the standard ECO-LINER system; the more versatile EASY-LINER system is suitable for such requirements.
The key difference lies in the scope of planning and manufacturing. ECO-LINERs are supplied as standardized metal strips that are cut and fitted on-site, which helps reduce both costs and delivery times.

EASY-LINER is designed for projects where dimensions, curves, connections, fixings, and other structural details need to be determined prior to manufacturing. Consequently, the EASY-LINER series is generally the more suitable choice for precisely planned layouts or custom designs.

The base modules are available in lengths of 2 and 3 meters and can be cut to the required size directly on site. With a material thickness of 2 mm, the nominal 2-meter version measures 1,920 mm due to technical constraints. Heights and material thicknesses are available in several set combinations.
As a general rule, path edging strips should be embedded in the ground to a depth of approximately one-third of their height, but no less than 100 mm. The actual installation depth required depends on the sub-base, the height of the strip, the layout, and the expected load. For areas subject to heavier loads, the method of securing the edging must be planned accordingly.
Plug-in flat iron anchors can be used for installation. As a general guideline, Gartenmetall recommends approximately one anchor per linear meter. Different anchor shapes are available for straight sections and outer corners. Depending on the substrate and load, the fixing can be further reinforced with localized spot footings.
This depends on the material thickness and the desired radius. As a general rule, a 2 mm thick strip can be shaped by hand to form radii of approximately 1 meter or larger. For a material thickness of 3 mm, the minimum radius achievable by hand is around 3 meters. For tighter radii or thicker metal strips, suitable bending tools are required, or the use of pre-bent elements is advisable.
Yes. Precisely this ability to adjust the size is part of the ECO-LINER system concept. The metal strips can be cut to the required length using a suitable cutting disc or hacksaw. For hot-dip galvanized versions, the cut edge exposed during the process must subsequently be protected again using a suitable zinc touch-up spray.
Straight elements can be butt-jointed and positioned and secured using flat steel anchors. Special corner anchors are available for external corners. Depending on the specific design, a corner can also be formed directly on site from a continuous strip. This ensures installation flexibility, eliminating the need to determine every single length and connection before production begins.
The standardized ECO-LINER system reaches its limits when a project requires precise custom radii, factory-defined connections, special top-edge finishes, stainless steel, color coating, or detailed shop drawings. EASY-LINER is designed for such projects. ECO-LINER excels in situations where standardized metal strips are needed on short notice and the contractor handles the final adjustments directly on site.
