Our crosslock connector is truly one of a kind. It solves a common unsightly problem, gapping where two lengths of edging come together. Our unique crosslock connector fits securely into the round bead of our edgings and allows for a seamless joint. When used in conjunction with our overlap method (see below), the connections you make will not only last, but they will be virtually undetectable.

TIPS & TECHNIQUES
Installers can rotate Oly-Ola’s unique connector to adjust the fit. When looking at the connector’s end, it appears as a ‘+’. Inserted into the edging as a plus sign will give it a tighter fit. Rotate the plug 45 degrees and insert the plug as an ‘X’ (pictured here) and you will get a slightly looser fit.
* Avoid weak and unsightly joints by using the overlap method (see below), and by using Oly-Ola’s tight fitting, effective connector.
OVERLAP METHOD (for joining lengths): Guard Against Gapping and Frost Heave
1. Cut off a 4 inch section of the round bead at the top of one of the edging pieces with a metal snip, utility knife or saw.
2. Use our exclusive crosslock connector to join the two sections, while overlapping the two pieces of edging.
3. Drive 1 or 2 steel anchoring stakes through both sections at a 45 degree angle toward the turf or outside portion of the bed.
