Product Information

LazyEdge Pre-Rolled Corner Lengths — Corten (Rusty)
 

For curves where a 90° corner just won't do.

Not every garden has square corners. Our pre-rolled corner lengths take the guesswork out of curved corners — each one roller-formed in-house from a 1.2m length of 3mm BlueScope REDCOR® weathering steel, producing a smooth, consistent curve with no kinking and no wrestling the steel into shape yourself.


How it works

  • Drops straight into your existing LazyEdge system using standard straight joiners
  • Approx. 190mm radius curve, with each leg running approx. 650mm from the curve to the end
  • Trim to suit with a grinder and cutting wheel — the cut end hides inside the next joiner
  • Flip it over for an inside or outside corner — one product, two applications

That's it. One piece, no fabrication, no compromise on the 3mm thickness that defines the rest of the system.


What it's for

Softening the edges of garden beds, wrapping curved pathway ends, or adding a graceful sweep to retaining borders — anywhere the run needs to turn without the hard geometry of a 90° or 45° joiner.


The finish

Ships in raw silver steel. Over the first few weeks outdoors it develops a rich, even rust patina that matches the rest of your LazyEdge run as everything weathers together.

Can't wait? We include our Rust-Fast recipe with every order — a simple solution that accelerates the patina in days instead of weeks.


Part of the LazyEdge system

Like every component in the range, these corners are manufactured in Australia from 3mm BlueScope REDCOR® steel — the same material, gauge, and standard as your straight lengths, joiners, and pegs. They connect using our standard straight joiners with no custom hardware required.

How do I measure up?

The fastest way: let us do it for you
 

Before you get out the tape measure, try our free LazyEdge Designer — sketch your garden beds on screen, the tool calculates every length, joiner, and corner you need, and we'll pre-cut every length to your exact dimensions before it ships.

No cutting at home. No grinders. No offcuts in the driveway. Your order arrives ready to install — slot the pieces together, push the joiners into the soil, done. The average project takes under ten minutes to design and a single afternoon to install.

Draw it, order it, install it. That's the whole process.
 

Prefer to measure it yourself?

No worries — here's how.
 

1. Lineal metres

Run your tape measure along every edge you want to bed. Add the totals together. That's your lineal metre requirement.

Divide that total by 2.4 to work out how many full-length pieces you'll need. Round up.

Example: 30 lineal metres ÷ 2.4m = 12.5 lengths → order 13.


2. Joiners

You'll need one joiner for every connection between two lengths — which works out to one less than your total length count.

Example: 13 lengths → 12 joiners.

Joiners come in three types:

  • Straight — connects two lengths end to end along a run
  • Outside corner — for a corner where both edges run away from where you're standing
  • Inside corner — for a corner where both edges run toward where you're standing

If you're standing at a corner and can't picture it, the rule is: outside corners wrap around a bed; inside corners tuck into one.


3. Pegs

At 3mm, LazyEdge is heavy enough that most installs don't need extra pegs between joiners — the joiners themselves have integrated pegs, and the edging weight alone holds a straight run in place once you've tapped it 5mm into the soil.

You will want loose pegs for:

  • Starting or finishing a run against a wall, fence, or hard edge
  • Holding tight curves or complex shapes in place
  • Long unsupported runs in loose or sandy soil


4. After-order support

Order something. Start your install. Realise you're short a joiner or a few pegs. It happens on almost every project.

Call or email us and we'll sort it - priority.
 

Still not sure?

Scribble your plan onto a piece of paper and photograph it. We genuinely love seeing hand-drawn plans — photos of backyards and garden sketches are some of the best parts of our week. Send it through and we'll calculate the full quantity list, email you a fully-priced quote, and once you confirm, a pallet of pre-cut LazyEdge arrives at your door ready to install.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use LazyEdge around curves and circles?

Yes. LazyEdge bends smoothly by hand — slot your lengths into straight joiners and shape the run to whatever curve you want.

For tighter radius work (around a tree, a circular feature bed, or anywhere the curve is sharp), use loose pegs to hold the shape as you go: secure one end, curve the length, tap a peg in to hold it, then repeat. Once the full radius is locked in, sink the edging to its final height and pull any pegs you don't need.

For circles under 1.5m in diameter, we actually recommend our pre-rolled Tree Rings instead — they arrive already in a perfect circle and install in minutes without the curving work.
 

Do I need to buy pegs separately if I'm buying joiners?

Every LazyEdge joiner has a peg built in — and for short runs under 1.2m between joiners, that's all you need.

For anything longer, we recommend one extra peg per 2.4m length, placed roughly in the middle of the run. The 3mm gauge is rigid enough that this mid-point peg is plenty to lock a long straight line in place.

You'll also want loose pegs for:

  • Starting or finishing a run against a wall, fence, or hard edge
  • Tight curves or complex shapes that need the line held while you install
  • Long unsupported runs in loose, sandy, or recently turned soil

The easy way — Bundle Packs The cheapest way to get this right is our LazyEdge Bundle Packs: discounted sets that include the lengths, joiners, and the right number of mid-run pegs already matched to the pack size. Bundles save up to 10% versus buying the parts individually, and they include a few extras to help with installation.

Available in 24, 48, 72, and 96 lineal metre packs.
 

How long does installation actually take?

Fast. Genuinely fast — this system was designed around install speed from day one.

The thing that slows down most edging installs is cutting lengths cleanly. LazyEdge sidesteps the problem entirely: your cut edge hides inside the joiner, so you can cut with a grinder in a few seconds and never worry about whether the cut line is perfectly straight. That alone saves an hour on most projects.

The rest of the install is:

  1. Slide a length into a joiner
  2. Slide the next length in from the other side
  3. Tap the integrated peg into the ground with a rubber mallet
  4. Repeat along the run
  5. Once the whole line is in place, tap the top edge of the lengths down to sink the bottom and get that "rising from the earth" look

That's the whole install. No drilling, no screws, no bolts, no pre-drilled holes.
 

Can I use this to retain soil in a raised bed?

LazyEdge is designed as garden edging — a crisp visual division between lawn, beds, paths, and paving. It's not engineered as a structural retaining wall.

For light soil retention along the face of a raised bed, the 3mm gauge holds up well. For proper retaining over 150mm in height, you'll want a dedicated retaining product — reach out and we'll point you in the right direction.
 

Will it rust through over time?

Garden edging lives in damp soil, year-round, in direct contact with organic matter. Over a long enough timeframe, nothing buried in that environment lasts forever — but our 3mm products are engineered to last far, far longer than the thinner gauges common on the market.

Corten (REDCOR®) — Rusty finish The rust patina on Corten is a protective layer: it forms, seals the surface, and dramatically slows further corrosion. This is the same steel used in bridges and architectural cladding specifically because it handles decades of outdoor exposure without maintenance. In above-ground applications it will outlast most of what's around it. In buried applications — permanently wet soil, coastal environments, or high-salt conditions — the rate of life will depend on your local conditions.

Galvanised (GALVABOND®) — Silver finish The zinc layer sacrificially protects the steel underneath and continues to protect scratched or damaged areas. It's the standard coating used on rural fencing and infrastructure for the same reason — it handles long-term outdoor exposure well. Like any galvanised product, ultimate lifespan depends on soil chemistry and conditions; we expect many years of service in typical Australian garden conditions.

At 3mm, both finishes have significantly more material to work with than the 1.5–2mm products on the market — which is why we've spent six years selling 3mm without a single return. We don't offer a lifetime guarantee against corrosion, because nobody honestly can for steel in soil. What we stand behind is this: an honest, heavy, Australian-made product built from the best materials in the category, performing far beyond the thin imports it's compared to.

Want a truly corrosion-proof option? For installations in extreme environments — coastal properties, permanently saturated soil, or where you simply want the maximum possible lifespan — we also offer a stainless steel edging solution in our InfinityEdge Stainless range. Stainless costs more, but won't rust through under any normal garden condition.
 

What if I order and realise I'm short on joiners or pegs?

We understand you can be stuck without enough parts on a project. Call or email us — we will sort it - priority one.
 

Can I cut the lengths at home?

Yes — a grinder with a standard cutting wheel does the job in seconds. The cut end slides inside the joiner, so there's nothing to finish or deburr.

If you'd rather not, use our free LazyEdge Designer — draw your layout on screen and we'll pre-cut every length to your exact dimensions before shipping. Your order arrives ready to install with zero cutting required.
 

What happens if my lawn mower hits it?

Nothing. 3mm steel shrugs off mower wheels, line trimmers, and general backyard impact without denting, bowing, or deforming. This is the single biggest practical reason we insist on 3mm over the 1.5–2mm gauges common on the market — thinner edging gets wrecked the first time a mower clips it.
 

How deep do I need to sink it into the ground?

As little as 5mm is enough to hold the edge in place once the joiners are pegged in. Most customers sink it further — enough to hide the bottom edge and leave a clean line at ground level — but structurally it doesn't need to be deep. The joiners' integrated pegs are what anchor the system.
 

Do you ship Australia-wide?

Yes — direct from our factory in Somersby, NSW. Free metro shipping on orders over $1000 (NSW, VIC, QLD, ACT); flat-rate shipping below that. WA, TAS, and NT are quoted individually — contact us for a shipping quote to those states.

Material

Material — BlueScope REDCOR® Weathering Steel

LazyEdge is manufactured from 3mm BlueScope REDCOR® — Australia's premium weathering steel, and the same material used in architectural cladding, bridges, and large-scale infrastructure projects.

Unlike standard mild steel that rusts through, REDCOR® is engineered to rust on purpose. When exposed to the elements, it develops a dense, tightly bonded patina that actively seals the surface and stops corrosion from penetrating deeper. No paint. No coating. No maintenance. The rust is the protection.

The result is a rich, warm, earthy tone that deepens and evolves over time — blending naturally into garden environments in a way that painted or galvanised alternatives simply can't replicate.

 

Strength 
REDCOR® is a higher-tensile steel — the upper end of what's available in this product category. 

At 3mm thick, this gives LazyEdge a rigidity and weight that you'll feel the moment you pick it up. Compared to the 1.6mm products common in the market, it's not a subtle difference — it's night and day.

In short: it gets stronger and better looking with age, requires zero upkeep, and is built from Australian steel by an Australian manufacturer. There's genuinely nothing better suited to a product that lives in the ground, year-round, in Australian conditions.

Steel Product & Safety

Steel edging is a wonderful addition to any garden — and like any solid building material, it deserves a little thought around safety, particularly in households with young children or pets.
 

Design intent — a visible edge is a safe edge

LazyEdge is designed to sit visibly above ground, creating a clear, defined barrier that people and animals can easily see and step around. The crisp top edge is part of the aesthetic, and it's also what makes the system safe in everyday garden use.
 

Sharp edges

During manufacturing, cut steel edges can be sharp. The weathering process naturally softens them over time, but before installation we recommend running a flap-disc grinding wheel along any exposed cut edges — particularly any lengths you've trimmed at home with a cutting wheel. It takes a couple of minutes per cut and makes a meaningful difference.

Always wear gloves and safety glasses when handling raw or freshly cut steel.
 

Installation tools

Use a rubber mallet to drive joiners and pegs into the ground — never a steel hammer directly on the visible edging surface, which can dent or distort the finish.
 

Burial use — not what this product is for

If you're planning to bury the edging as an underground divider rather than a visible border, this isn't the right fit. For that application, we'd recommend our 6mm Lengths or InfinityEdge Rolled-Top range — both purpose-built for in-ground use.
 

From our family to yours

We're a small family business. Between us we have young children running around gardens just like yours, and safety is something we think about in every product we make. We want your finished garden to be something your whole family can enjoy safely for years to come.

If you have any questions about safe installation, please give us a call on 1800-943-733 — we'd rather you ask than guess.
