sufficient to define the line, which will pass the border beds or track, set the starting point of its edge strip and fix, by driving the first rod deep into the ground - and the design of the site can be considered started.

second characteristic, which provides polymer curb popularity - its cost, which is much lower than even the concrete edging flower beds.Well, as soon as we have mentioned concrete, its mass does not go to any comparison with the weight of the plastic strip, which provides the latest big advantage during transportation and installation.

If concrete can be sooner or later split with moisture and the roots of plants, plastic is not threatened.Of course, over time it will become worthless, but will last much longer concrete products.And finally, be aware of the fact that shrinkage or shifting soil plastic decorative border will not move and will not warp, it will securely hold deeply driven into retainers .

bending every 20 centimeters, and use the same spacing over the whole length of the border when the track is subjected to compaction.If not enough half a meter between the clamps on the straight segment.The gaps between the individual stripes - 5 millimeters in the case of thermal expansion of the material.
