Lawn edging templates

Hi folks

Has anyone ever seen a set of edging templates? I'm sure I saw years ago (this might've been on eBay) there was a set where you could link up sections to make perfect curves etc. as a guide for an edging tool, but I've not seen anything like it since and any searches I've tried have been fruitless other than for those awful log rolls and such like. I know there are ways of getting perfect edges without fancy tools or gimmicks, but this was something I thought could be quite useful for a larger project

  • Everedge is what you need

    I've never seen those before.

    I normally do it by eye or mark out with line marking spray paint.

    You could make your own with ply board and a jig saw.

    When I do a bit of design work I use french curves. You could enlarge them on to a bit of ply, using a small grid to a larger grid like at school.

  •  Everedge is good.

  • I remember seeing those too, so you're not imagining things (unless we both are ...). They probably didn't sell enough to continue ba cause in smaller gardens it's done by eye and a long straight edge and larger gardens,parks etc tend to use a metal edging .

    • Glad I'm not the only one 😂

       

      I'm sure the set I saw on eBay looked fairly old and solid/sturdy so I bet someone will have some tucked away somewhere. 

  • Don't sound terribly viable to be honest what's wrong with a string line then for curves a bit of string on a pole stuck in the ground then tied to your edging iron. Simple but it works

    • Nothing wrong at all, hence me saying you can achieve perfectly good results without them.

  • If the desired curves are variable in curvature [which they usually are], so not something that can be achieved with a tethered string like a compass, then a hosepipe laid out to the desired effect and then fixed in place for cutting along with those slim metal tent pegs [or weighted down with something and your foot as you proceed with the turf cutter] is ideal. The hosepipe is both stiff enough end flexible enough.
