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

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 anywhere between 10 to 30 years depending mainly on soil conditions.

Answer: Yes we can post pack a sample to you. Please send a pre-paid (for up to3Kg) self addresed envelope to:
Greenlines gardenware, 13 Bonnie View Rd, Croydon North, 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 backfilling your edge and any leftover paint can be used to touch up scatches 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.
