Paving that does not pass the required standard will not support any excessive loading. Slip Resistance (BS EN 14231) Strict EU regulations were introduced in 2013 to ensure all paving sold in the UK meets the minimum standards set out under European standards EN1341 (flagstones), EN1342 (setts) and EN1343 (kerbs), however MOST companies selling paving online DO NOT adhere to these legal requirements as it is not heavily policed by Trading Standards.

plastic edging is an inexpensive choice and easy to install. It comes in a variety of shapes and colours. In fact, some plastic edging is made to look just like stone coping.

A smart grid is a modernised electricity grid that uses information and communications technology to monitor and actively control generation and demand in near real-time, which provides a more reliable and cost effective system for transporting electricity from generators to homes, business and industry. If a section of lawn edge has become too damaged to successfully create a firm edge in line with the rest of the lawn, you can repair it. It is important that you read these instructions in full before unrolling and installing the product

Spring is undoubtedly the best time to edge a lawn, as during this time the grass is growing steadily and the underlying soil is soft enough to cut into. It will also give any newly added sections or repaired lawn edges time to regrow and establish before the heat of the summer takes hold. Step 4 -Once you are on our quote system, simply complete the form on the right hand side and send over your request. A clean, sharp, straight spade is a good alternative to any lawn edger. Ensure the blade is as flat as possible, many spades are slightly concave which can lead to unsightly, scalloped edges. Use a wooden board for neat straight lines or a rope (or hose) as a guide for sweeping curves.If you're also mowing the lawn at the same time, make sure you know the correct mower height for spring so you can keep the rest of the lawn looking just as smart as your new edging. How do you edge a lawn without an edger? The Vision and Routemap calls for Great Britain to build on its initial success by ensuring regulatory and commercial frameworks support the deployment of smart technologies and new commercial practices, and provide strong leadership in rolling out successful smart grid pilots into business as usual services. The development of a smart grid offers exciting opportunities for the UK. Our electricity market reforms will provide a stable and attractive environment for investors in low-carbon generation and support growth. It is therefore vital that we modernise our infrastructure to ensure it supports deployment and meets customer needs. The smart grid will also create thousands of jobs, support economic growth and help build a Greater Britain.” The ramp test (R rating) is often used for porcelain paving and this is conducted using a ramp which is gradually raised. Oil is applied to the ramp and a test person walks onto the ramp wearing boots. The measurement is taken from the point at which they slip. R11 is the rating usually applied to porcelain paving and this is equivalent to the value of 34 to 51 in the PTV test data (pendulum test value). Unroll your Smartedge. The A-frames are folded against the inside edge. Ease the A-frames away from the inside edge to an angle measuring approximately 45 degrees. DO NOT OVER-BEND AS THIS WILL STOP THE A-FRAMES FROM GRIPPING THE GRASS.

You may come across some resistance when cutting your lawn edge. If you do, it’s important to identify the obstruction, so you know how to deal with it before pressing ahead. Ensuring paving has good slip resistant qualities is important for outdoor usage, especially when used by children or elderly people. There is no point installing stone that does not meet the specified criteria for outdoor surfaces as it will be dangerous and not at all suited to purpose. Slip resistance testing is a complex and varied area however the two main tests for domestic paving are either the pendulum test (PTV) or the ramp test (R rating). With the pendulum test, a pendulum is swung over the surface of the stone which will slow it down. The rougher the surface, the more it will slow the pendulum and the higher the value (PTV). It is tested both wet and dry. The lowest permitted value for external use when wet is 36.

Once you’ve established a crisp, vertical edge to a lawn it is important to trim it regularly. During warm growing periods, such as spring and early fall, this may need to be done weekly. Grass slows in growth during hot and cold weather reducing the need for any clipping. Lawn edging issues to watch out for When setting the lawn edge make sure the ground is not too dry. It is important to make the setting out as easy as possible. To make the ground more pliable simply water the area in preparation before laying the Smartedge. Each edge comes with securing pins for easy fixing, which are no longer needed once the grass is bound. Extra pins are also available to buy separately. For newly sown and turfed lawns we recommend using temporary wood pegs to anchor and hold Smartedge in place until the grass establishes.

Smartedge saves time and effort for the professional and amateur gardener and at the same time keeps your garden looking great all year round. Smartedge has been designed for the lawn edge and flower beds or between lawn and path preventing roots and earth distorting the lawn edge. One edge is fixed into the ground and prevents root and earth penetration, whilst the top edge allows grass to grow through thus forming a durable and hidden barrier. The roll out of smart meters are a key enabler of a smart grid, providing information to help improve network management as well as facilitating demand shifting and supporting energy generation from many small energy sources (distributed energy generation) and renewable sources.

The UK has made significant progress to date in developing its smart grid and is recognised as a European leader for investment in smart grid research and demonstration.Frost resistance testing is called the Freeze/ Thaw test and is conducted by repeatedly freezing the paving to -40 Fahrenheit and then thawing it, before repeating the cycle again. During this process the paving will lose some of its flexibility and the key to good quality paving is that it does not lose a high level of resilience during the test cycle. Losses in Mpa should not exceed 5 Mpa
