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 .
Rickuhm , where am I ?

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.
