The pictures opposite show Stable Edge being installed and the processes required for best results. It is important to achieve a level top surface of the sub base without any hollows or surface imperfections so that the base plate of the Stable Edge sits firmly on the sub base along its entire length.

The fixing nails also supplied can now be used to secure the edging to the sub base, working from end to end applying fixings at intervals of no less that 3 per metre. Where curves and arcs are required further fixings may be required to provide additional anchorage.

When compacting with mechanical rollers as per the picture opposite, only on the final compaction pass should the roller be as close as the edging.

The final results can be quite simply astonishing, as shows in the final image taken at Morecambe Seafront in Lancashire. Here resin bonded aggregate was used as a wearing surface to maximum effect, and within the whole project, Stable Edge was used to edge several variations of finished surface from playground surfacing, to gravel, bark chippings, tarmac and grass. The overall result would have been unachieveable had Stable Edge not been used and the client was extremely satisfied with the end result.
