cutting the edge perfectly straight very easy. I would buy it again.


That looks quite good — neat and tidy, and literally flexible. Slightly
expensive. Roughly £35 for 5 metres.


With this it's "you get what you pay for". Whilst I haven't had it more than
a year I would expect it to see me out.

I bought the relatively cheap plastic version with a so called stone effect. Be aware that it is only finished on one side. I covered the back with waterproof tape as it would be visible and the bare version didn't look good. Also the stake like part that goes into the ground is not strong. You have to dig a trench, it will not go in with a mallet except in the softest of soil. If you don't mind the extra effort it does look quite good.
