Mowing lawn against Super 6 fence

[Gezza87]

So my house has old asbestos super 6 fencing with lawn growing up against it, It is getting really annoying snipping against the fence wiith scissors as i dont want to hit the fence with the whipper snipper. Does anyone have any ideas on how to control it growing against the fence? I was going to concrete against the fence but the sprinklers are right there also. Thanks

I'd consider treated pine or railway sleepers. 

You'll find lots of examples on Workshop, like @ProjectPete's garden beds here - https://www.workshop.com.au/t5/Gardening/rustic-railway-sleeper-garden-bed/m-p/432/highlight/true#M4...

@maknilsin garden edging here - https://www.workshop.com.au/t5/Gardening/Backyard-Makeover/m-p/15109#M1926

@kel has some edging here - https://www.workshop.com.au/t5/Gallery/the-vertical-gardens-that-i-built/cns-p/13903

@darylhewston has more here - https://www.workshop.com.au/t5/Interiors/Front-yard-makeover/m-p/10203#M2235

There's also been a bit of discussion about composite sleepers, like here - https://www.workshop.com.au/t5/Gardening/Building-a-raised-vegie-garden/m-p/5248#M718

@MartyH thanks for all those links. the railway sleepers are a bit high as I want my sprinklers to still be able to water the lawn. @kel I think I am going to go similar to @jasons idea I went to Bunnings earlier and found this product https://www.bunnings.com.au/tuff-edge-2m-brushed-alloy-aluminium-garden-edge-6-pack_p3300274 I like it as it wont rust, I can whipper snipper against it, dig it in as deep as I like so it sits flush and I can do the whole lot for $260. Thanks everyone for your help

Looking forward to seeing how it comes together @Gezza87.

Glad to see the community was able to provide assistance with the project. 

By the way, I also ordered those river pebbles in my photo from the Bunnings special orders desk. You can by them by the square metre and have them delivered if you need a lot (like we did).
