      ✔ 2xEDGE Staples are four times wider than a standard landscape nail, providing four times more grip.

      Wood edging that won't tip over.

      ✔ 2xEDGE straddles lumber, fastening it to the ground on both sides to supply two times more stability than a nail.

      Wood edging that's easy to extend, reposition, and repair.

      ✔ 2xEDGE holds each piece of lumber independently to the ground to create modular edging that's easy to change up and maintain. (If you do change things up, you won't leave unsightly trenches all over your property.)

      Wood edging that offers more utility.

      2xEDGE is designed to stand lumber upright without burying it in a trench giving you maximum usable edging material above ground. (And your wood lumber stays drier because it's not buried in the ground, which adds to its longevity.)
