Question: What is the difference between the plain or galvanised finish FormBoss™?

Answer: The plain FormBoss™ will develop a rusty finish over time (a preferred natural look by some). The galvanised finish FormBoss™ is preferred in more contemporary gardens and is longer lasting.

Question: How easy is it to create my own shapes and install the FormBoss™ metal garden edging system?

Answer: Very easy! The FormBoss™ can be shaped exactly to your plan. Take a look at the Greenlines DIY page for a basic installation example, or e-mail us with your specific questions. We will soon have some video files for downloading showing more installation examples.

Question: How strong and durable is FormBoss™?

Answer: Steel is very strong, at least 10 times as strong as any plastic edging and at least 4 times as strong as aluminium edging. Once installed FormBoss™ will stay yet can be removed and re-shaped at a later date if needed. FormBoss™ will last up to 40 years depending mainly on soil conditions.

Question: I'm a landscaper or retailer. Do you have more comprehensive details on the FormBoss™ so I can consider it as part of my product range?

Answer: Yes we can post pack a sample to you. Please send a pre-paid (for up to3Kg) self addressed envelope to:
Greenlines Gardenware
Factory 3 No. 43 Vinter Avenue
Croydon VIC 3136

Question: Does the FormBoss™ come in other colors?

Answer: No, because painting is not practical before shaping due to that all paints crack when shaping tight corners. You can however paint the FormBoss™ after shaping and installation. We suggest you consider using a quality metal paint which is available at auto accessory centres and available in pressure cans. Painting can be done just before back-filling your edge and any leftover paint can be used to touch up scratches over time. FormBoss™ also looks great galvanised (which dulls down to a pewter gray color over time) or plain. Because this edging creates seamless thin shaped lines your eyes will be mostly drawn to the shapes of your lawn, paths or gardens that you create and the plants within it.
