Go the garden edging way ... It's cheaper and no wire edge to contend with ...
There is no mechanical problem so difficult that it cannot be solved by brute strength and ignorance.

The problem I have with this stuff is it is too rigid and I for one feel if it catches on anything you run the chance of doing panel damage to the guards. :shock:
Ok people, move along. Nothing to see here. Thank you, move along.

Another option is conveyor belt offcuts - try Blackwoods, they have a conveyor manufacturing division.

I had trouble feeding the wire through mine too, i ended up tearing the flares a bit because i was forcing the wire through to much. Ended up installing them with a couple of screws first and getting the right cutout shape then taking them back off, squirt some wd40 down both ends of the flares and then feed the wire through when they aren't mounted on the guards, takes a little longer but much easier, :wink:
