Hello everyone,
We have set up a large climbing frame and now want to spread wood chips/bark mulch in that area. We plan to use a metal lawn edging strip to separate it from the lawn.
We want to use the same type of edging along our hedge as well.
There is a relatively expensive option at 7€/m (about $) available in 20m (66 feet) lengths, made of aluminum and zinc. Then there is a cheaper option at 4€/m (about $) but only comes in 1.3m (4.3 feet) lengths. It looks nicer to have as few joints as possible, but do these joints actually stand out? After all, the edging is flush with the ground so the robotic mower can operate properly.
We need around 30m (98 feet) for the climbing frame and 35m (115 feet) for the hedge. A few extra meters might be needed for other small areas.
Does anyone have experience with this and can recommend something?

I also find the wood chips quite comfortable to walk on (although I have never walked on them barefoot), and I think they provide good cushioning. In my opinion, rubber mats are almost dangerous by comparison. While they might absorb the vertical impact forces from falls quite well, they tend to cause painful scrapes or burns when falling on them.
Even though wood chips are not exactly cheap and the amount required is huge if I need to apply them in a thickness of 30-35cm (12-14 inches), it is probably the best choice.
I am also interested in how you handle the transition. Does anyone have wood chips (or bark mulch) around a climbing frame? How do you manage the edge? Seamless without any border, with a metal strip, with edging boards, with lawn edging stones, ...? Photos are welcome.

I haven’t checked it myself, but maybe this tip will help...
