Manufactured in Australia using premium ZAM® coated BlueScope® steel, this high-performance landscape edging combines exceptional corrosion resistance, strength and contemporary design for residential and commercial landscaping projects.

Each edging length measures 2.4 metres and can be shaped on-site into straight runs, flowing curves or precise angles. Available in a range of heights and steel thicknesses, SHAPESCAPER® ZAM® edging is ideal for everything from simple garden borders to raised garden beds and architectural landscape features.

ZAM® steel features a specialised zinc-aluminium-magnesium alloy coating designed to provide enhanced corrosion protection compared with conventional galvanised steel.

Dimensions & Installation Guide

All SHAPESCAPER® ZAM® Steel Garden Edging lengths are 2400mm long. Select the appropriate profile height and steel thickness for your installation.

*Stake heights and maximum above-ground measurements are based on the manufacturer's installation recommendations. Installations outside these guidelines may not be covered under warranty.

Lead Time: Allow approximately 7–14 days for ZAM® edging orders.

What's Included: Each 2.4m edging length includes one joiner and the required joining screws and rivets where applicable. Installation stakes are sold separately, allowing you to select the appropriate quantity and height for your particular installation.

How to Select Your Edging

1. Choose Your Profile Height

Select the edging height based on how much you want visible above ground. A portion of the profile must be buried to provide stability.

For example, if you want approximately 290mm of edging visible above ground, select the 390mm profile. Refer to the table above for the maximum recommended exposed height of each profile.

2. Select Your Steel Thickness

• 2.0mm: Recommended for most residential landscaping applications, providing a balance of strength and flexibility.
• 2.5mm: Heavy-duty option for more demanding landscaping applications where additional rigidity is required.

3. Select Your Stakes

SHAPESCAPER® edging is secured using compatible steel stakes, which are sold separately. The number of stakes required depends on your garden layout, edging height and installation conditions.

• Straight runs: Allow approximately 4 stakes per 2.4m length.
• Curved runs: Allow approximately 3 stakes per 2.4m length.
• Stake height: Select stakes approximately twice the height of your chosen edging profile, following the manufacturer's recommendations.

Additional stakes may be required depending on ground conditions and the loads being retained.

4. Plan Your Layout & Joining Components

Each edging length measures 2400mm and includes one joiner per length, along with the required screws and rivets for profiles that require them. There is no need to purchase standard joining components separately.

Plan your layout to determine the number of edging lengths and additional stakes required for your installation.

Design Inspiration

SHAPESCAPER® ZAM® Steel Garden Edging creates crisp architectural lines with a refined metallic finish. Its bright satin-like appearance complements natural stone, concrete, timber, decorative gravel and contemporary garden plantings.

Use low-profile edging to create subtle separation between lawns and garden beds, or select taller profiles to build raised planting areas, define pathways and introduce height into your landscape design.

The combination of a modern metallic finish and flexible steel construction makes ZAM® edging particularly well suited to minimalist gardens, contemporary residential landscapes and architectural outdoor spaces.

Installation & Care

Correct installation and care are important to ensure the strength, stability and long-term performance of SHAPESCAPER® ZAM® Steel Garden Edging.

• Prepare the area: Mark out the required edging layout and prepare the ground for installation.
• Set the edging depth: Bury the appropriate portion of the profile, ensuring the exposed height does not exceed the manufacturer's recommendations.
• Shape the edging: Form curves or bends as required to suit the garden design.
• Install stakes: Secure the edging using compatible SHAPESCAPER® stakes, purchased separately, at the recommended spacing.
• Join lengths: Connect adjoining lengths using the included joiners, screws and rivets as required for the selected profile.
• Protect the coating: Avoid unnecessary scratching or damage to the protective surface during handling and installation.
• Clean as required: Occasionally rinse with clean water to remove accumulated dirt, debris and salt deposits.
• Check alignment: Ensure the edging is level, securely supported and correctly positioned before backfilling.

Important: ZAM® steel is designed for enhanced corrosion resistance, but environmental exposure, installation conditions and damage to the protective coating can affect long-term performance. Coastal and high-salt installations should be assessed against the manufacturer's recommendations and warranty conditions.

For maximum product longevity and warranty coverage, installations should follow the manufacturer's recommendations, particularly regarding exposed height, stake selection, ground support and protection of the coated surface.
