Formwork for landscape edging

摘要

A system of formwork guides of consistent width and depth but of various lengths; some of which provide bends or curves or junctions is developed for easier laying of garden and landscaping edges of the type having a concrete base (and optional masonry on top). The system of guides comprises prefabricated sacrificial shuttering that delimits straight and curved edging. The guides can be cut to suit a layout. Preferred guides are U-shaped channels of vacuum-formed moulded plastic sheeting. Cross-bridging formations within the guides help maintain the walls upright and can be used to hold optional reinforcing metal rods and/or optional pipes or cables in place until concrete has been poured.
