Hi Carl, we about to make a mowing strip and love that you have made one with cement – we were thinking of all sorts of fancy things, not just cement, and I like the look – can you please tell me what you used as the casing for your strip. Thanks Grae
Graeme, do you mean for the boxing? You can just buy standard boxing timber which is about 100mm wide, and you use stakes to hold it in place. When I do a mowing strip, I set the top edge of the boxing to the same height of the concrete, that way you can trowel it even with the boxing, making it easier to work with. I use small jolt head nails to tack the boxing to the stakes to hold it at the correct height. I hope that helps.
