Spring 2026 Edition
★★★★★
The iron edging hurdles are sturdy and certainly much better than any found in local big box stores or from various online sources. Form and function, and vice versa.

Preparation
Steel That Earns Its Patina
Set these hurdles in early spring and the season does the finishing for you. No paint, no powder coat, no galvanizing. The first April rain starts the oxidation. By the time your transplants go in, the bright steel is already warming to an earthy rust that blends with fresh mulch and damp soil.
This is not a defect. It is the point. A border installed in spring looks like it belongs by summer — as if it has always been part of the garden. The patina is the finish, and every season deepens it.
Readiness
Four Uses From a Single Set
Spring is when beds need definition. Line the hurdles end to end along a freshly turned flower bed and you have over thirteen feet of border before anything is planted. Ring a vegetable patch to keep dogs and foot traffic off seedlings. Stand one behind emerging peonies so they have support as they grow.
Or plant sweet peas and clematis at the base now. By midsummer the scrollwork disappears behind a living wall. Every curve and rail is a handhold for a tendril — and the earlier you set them, the fuller the coverage by July.
Payoff
A Border With Centuries Behind It
Iron hurdles have been used in English and French gardens since the 18th century. They were the original spring border — pushed into softening ground to separate kitchen gardens from flower beds, protect new plantings, and mark paths before the growing season began. The scroll pattern evolved to combine strength with minimal material, light enough to reposition as your spring plan takes shape.
Modern plastic and resin edging cracks after one winter and fades after one summer. Iron does the opposite. It gets stronger as it rusts, more attractive as it weathers, and more embedded in the garden with every season that passes. Set them this spring and they will still be there, better looking, a decade from now.

Common Questions
Before You Buy
Each purchase includes four iron garden edging hurdles. Together they create over 13 feet of garden border. Order multiple sets to extend the perimeter as needed.
Yes, by design. The steel is purposely left untreated so it develops a rich, natural patina over time. This is a deliberate aesthetic choice — the hurdles become more attractive and garden-appropriate as they age.
Simply push the pointed legs into the soil. No tools, no hardware, no digging required. They seat firmly in most garden soils and can be repositioned at any time by pulling them up and pressing them into a new location.
Absolutely. The classic scroll and rail design gives climbing plants like sweet peas, clematis, and small roses plenty of points to grab onto. They make excellent low supports for climbing annuals and perennial border plants.
Yes. Once pushed firmly into the soil, the hurdles create a sturdy border that deters pets and foot traffic from entering planted areas. At 24.5 inches tall, they are high enough to discourage most dogs from stepping over.

lovely and useful
"I bought these and the high ones to block paths my dogs have made in my beds. They work perfectly for this, they are running around them, taking alternate routes that don't damage plants. They are lightweight and a but delicate, so this would be the main use for them."
Edging hurdles are multi-purpose
"Here in western Wisconsin, deer do not allow fences to keep them from garden treasures (in my case, most blooming flowers, along with beans, tomatoes, greens- quite the buffet!) the iron edging hurdles are placed in the edge of 8ft long 2x4’s…. And then attached to the uppermost part of 4x4 fence posts… above existing 4x8 foot sections of heavy duty lattice. It is my sincere plan/hope that this fence addition will prevent the deer from garden entry, and will be an attractive addition to the yard. Form+function, and vice versa. I’m hopeful. Thanks for carrying this sturdy product. It’s certainly much better than any found in local big box stores or from various online sources."
Excellent garden edging hurdles!
"The garden edging hurdles are great! Perfect throughout garden spaces. Beautiful !"
Iron Garden Hurdles
"I like these hurdles, they are keeping the dogs out of the areas where they've been placed. I wish they were made of a slightly sturdier metal, particularly the legs that go into the ground."
Beautiful Garden Edging Hurdles
"Best flower and yard garden edging I’ve ever purchased! The panels are beautiful, very sturdy and well made they protect from dogs especially without obstructing the view, this is our fourth set"
5 stars!
"I inadvertently left only 3 stars in my previous review for these wonderful hurdles and couldn’t find a way to correct my mistake. These are a 5 star product. I’m ordering more."
Lucky find!
"Exactly what I was looking for to keep our dogs out of the raised beds! Such a unique and attractive design and will be easy to remove and replace for access to the beds. Also an economical choice even in comparison to box store plastic edging. Thrilled."

"Quality as only Garret Wade can offer."
