STRUCTUREDGE™
StructurEdge is a flexible L-shaped aluminum paving restraint designed as an edge restraint for pavers. It provides a clean, unobstructed edge along the paver installation allowing the use of a power edger directly adjacent to the paving stones. It’s quick and easy to install and readily forms to curves, angles and straight runs. StructurEdge is a permanent paving restraint system that is designed to be easier to install and out-perform plastic, PVC and steel systems. Our interlocking sliding connectors eliminate weak points. The tight-fitting L-shaped design promotes healthy grass and accommodates the tight placement of irrigation heads (unlike bulky plastic triangular restraints). StructurEdge readily forms to curves, radii and angles, allowing wide installation flexibility. Available in 3/32, 1/8, and 3/16 inch thicknesses by 1 5/8 or 2 ¼ inch heights. Finishes available are Mill (Natural) and Black.

ASPHALTEDGE™
AsphaltEdge is the only patented product specifically designed to perform as an integral edge restraint system for asphalt. AsphaltEdge provides full and consistent material thickness to the edge of the pavement. It is designed to help prevent broken edges and provide a finished, maintainable, long-term solution for asphalt installations. Perfect for straight and curved runs. AsphaltEdge is engineered to extend the life of asphalt pavement by helping to prevent broken edges and provide a finished, maintainable look along the asphalt border. Specifically designed for asphalt over aggregate, asphalt overlay, and asphalt over concrete, including residential, commercial and industrial applications. Product is available in 1, 1 ½, 2, 2 ½, 3 and 4 inch depths. Finishes available are Mill (Natural) and Black.

ATHLETEDGE™
AthletEdge is a line of flexible, L-shaped aluminum athletic surface/asphalt restraints designed for use over aggregate, asphalt and concrete. From running tracks to tennis courts, AthletEdge provides a clean appearance on your sports installations. AthletEdge provides the same high quality characteristics as AsphaltEdge with the added benefit of sidewall “weep holes” to aid lateral drainage. Product is available in 1, 1 ½, 2, 2 ½, 3 and 4 inch depths. Finishes available are Mill (Natural) and Black.

2. Drive spikes through edging holes in base of asphalt restraint edging (or drive nails through aluminum base when using powder actuated fastening system) at spaces for following applications: [Editorial note: Spacing depends on age, hardness, depth, and type of base material (aggregate, asphalt, or concrete), radius being formed, anchoring spacing, and lengths of anchors.]
a. Anchor each section end with anchor.
b. Aggregate Base: Spiral steel spikes at 4 inches (102 mm) to 12 inches (305 mm) on center.
c. Softer or Thinner Asphalt Base: 3/8 inch x 10 inches (9.5 mm x 254 mm) spiral steel spikes at 4 inches (102 mm) to 12 inches (305 mm) on center spacing.
d. Older, Harder, or Thicker Asphalt Base: Hilti DX A41 Fully Automatic Powder Actuated Tool is desirable where sufficient hold can be obtained. Provide 1-1/2 inches (38 mm) to 2-1/2 inches (64 mm) nail at 4 inches (102 mm) to 12 inches (305 mm) on center spacing with applicable charge recommended.
