ABSTRACT:
A brick edging device is disclosed for use as an interface or boundary of a bricked region In one aspect the edging device includes an elongate extruded aluminum strip extending in a longitudinal direction having a flange portion attached to an edge of the aluminum strip and extending in a transverse direction outwardly from one side of the strip. The flange is provided with a series of V-shaped cut-out portions spaced along the length thereof with the flat apex of the V being spaced from the edge of the elongate strip. The portion of the flange located between the cut-outs form individual flaps, each flap having an aperture extending therethrough to receive a spike. The apertures are countersunk so that the spike heads are flush with the flaps. There is an angle of at least 90 degrees between the sides of the V shaped cut-out portions and the aluminum strip is bendable at points adjacent to the apex to at least 90 degrees. Located on the other side of the strip is an integrally formed loop which can receive therein a planar stake. Stakes are provided having a hooked end portion opposite a sharp end, the hooked portion having a protrusion projecting inwardly into the hooked portion which is releasably snapped over the loop when the stake is inserted into the loop. Bricks may be laid onto the flap portions while the aluminum strip acts as a barrier between the bricked portion and other areas.
