    Angry Bending treated pine garden edge + pegs

    Hi all and merry and safe Christmas.

    Well I am doing (still) a bit of landscaping over the festive season and am going to use some treated pine (100 x 25) for garden edging.
    (Cheap and quick??)

    The gardens have more curves in them than I dont know what.

    What is the best way to bend the pine. I have put a series of saw cuts in it (Kerfing I think you call it) but I cant seem to get the tight radius that I need.

    Also,does anybody know what size pegs I should use.I have some 50 x 25 but only because thats all the supplier had?

    TIA:

    Greg :confused:

    I have had success bending treated pine for garden edges by dressing it down in the thicknesser to 18mm or so . This gave a reasonable bend , if you wanted sharper curves you could dress it down more .

    G'day.
    Instead of crippling with a saw, use a router with a 6mm bit.
    Cut 10mm into the back at 50mm spacings.
    Then soak the board in water for 1 hour.
    This will let you do very tight (0.9m) bends.

    Hooroo.

    Merry Xmas.
