| Below
is a list of some of our frequently asked questions:
| |
Our
products are available through many outlets around
the globe. Please contact
us here or call us at 1.800.356.9660
to find a location near you. |
| |
We
offer a wide variety of products for specific applications
and budgets. Pricing for our products can be obtained
from your local dealer. |
| |
Permaloc
does not offer online ordering; however, many of
our distributors do. |
| |
Each
application is different and has it's own set of
challenges. The best place to start is to search
our application
database which has a very large list
of applications that are common in the industry.
If you can't find your application or something
very close to it contact a Permaloc sales professional
at 1.800.356.9660. |

A
measuring wheel is the quickest and easiest way
to measure for how much edging you will need. If
you don't have access to a measuring wheel, you
can always use a rope or a hose that you know the
length of. Lay out the design of the bedding area,
and lay the rope or hose along the projected bedding
area and count the number of lengths you need. For
example: if you have a 25' hose and laid out a design
that takes 3 lengths of your hose to reach the end,
you are looking for approximately 75' total for
your project. |

Permaloc
manufactures a patented accessory called the Grade
Change Connector. This item allows
you to adjust the edging to run up a change in grade
of any angle. Then simply place another Grade Change
Connector to level the edging back out. |
| |
We
recommend cutting the material with a hacksaw. |
| |
90
degree corners can be formed by cutting the material
from the bottom about half way through. Next, take
a board or a brick and place it along your cut,
lift the free end of the material towards the brick
or board helping form your 90 degree corner. Cutting
the material from the bottom keeps the top bead
of the product solid and safe. |
| |
When
installed according to our recommended installation
instructions, the edging will be lower
than your mower blade, keeping it safe from mower
damage. This also allows the mower to mow directly
over the edging, eliminating the need to use the
power trimmer along the edging. However, the edging
will hold up to routine maintenance without suffering
damage. |
| |
Our
edging is manufactured to resist frost heave. Our
unique extrusion accompanied by our 12” barbed
stakes also help keep the edging in the ground. |
| |
Permaloc
edging systems contain patented, locking connection
systems. These specialized connections will not
come apart in the ground like connections used in
most plastic edging. The durability of the aluminum
product also keeps it from becoming brittle or damaged
due to weather or other outside forces. |
| |
Aluminum
metal has very different properties than steel.
It will not rust, rot, or break down in any way. |
| |
No.
The product is shipped flat in corrogate boxes. |
| |
Our
landscape edgings are available in lengths of 6',
8’ or 16’. Our brick and paver restraints
are available in 8’ lengths only. |
| |
Yes.
Each 6' piece of landscape edging includes 2 stakes,
each 8’ piece includes 3 stakes, and each
16’ piece includes 5 stakes. Anchoring options
for brick and pavement restraints are sold separately. |
| |
With
6’ & 8’ there are no extra stake
pockets available, but with 16’ there is an
opportunity to purchase 3 additional stakes. An
In-Line Stake Adapter can also be added to accept
additional stakes. |
| |
Our
standard stakes for aluminum edging are 12”
tall. However, we do manufacture 18” and 24”
stakes for special applications. Onyx and DesignEdge
come with 8” stakes. |
| |
Permaloc
offers a variety of painted colors to match the
aestetics of different installations. We use an
electrostatically applied, baked on paint process
known as Duraflex. This is a flexible paint that
will not flake or chip. |
| |
One
piece of material will make the following circles:
6’ Material = 5’ 4” Circumference
/ 1’ 8” Diameter / 10” Radius
8’ Material = 7’ 4” Circumference
/ 2’ 4” Diameter / 1’ 2”
Radius
16’ Material = 15’ 4” Circumference
/ 4’ 11” Diameter / 2’ 6”
Radius |
