I bought the 6 inch edging to make a border to put mexican beach pebbles in. Worked out perfect. It is thick metal and easy to install although I did make a jig to make sure I could get it perfectly straight. Had to cut the last piece and turned the cut side so the clip would hide the cut. Would definitely buy again.

Thickness is about 0.08", which is approximately 14 gauge. Very sturdy. It has a black coating, so it's not technically weathering steel (i.e. Cor-ten or A606) which forms a rust surface coating. But the coating looks very good (if you're not aiming for a rust look) and it seems very tough. I returned it because I want the rust look, so I can't tell you how the coating holds up over time. I do wish the description had been more detailed and accurate because return shipping is very expensive!

Exactly as described worked great

This is a heavy duty, sturdy edging. Beautiful once installed, slightly difficult to install since the ground has to be soft but totally worth it.

I absolutely love this edging. It was easy to install and has done a great job of keeping the weeds from the yard out of the garden. I'll be getting more to go along other garden sections of my house.Just a quick note: the plating does come off if you're installing with a metal hammer, so I would use an old towel between the hammer and ending or use a rubber mallet.
