FAQ

What tools do I need to install SNAP-IT?

You’ll need a spade, snips (for trimming components), steel rebar (included in most kits), a hammer or mallet, and a SNAP-IT Finishing Trowel (included in most kits or sold separately). A string line or chalk is helpful for layout. 

Use the SNAP-IT Builder (coming soon!) to plan your layout and calculate how many straights, curves, and elbows you’ll need. Or choose a pre-made kit that suits your project size and shape. 

Yes, all units can be trimmed with snips for smaller spaces. Always leave a 10–20mm overlap between pieces for strength and a snug seal.

SNAP-IT edging units are made from durable, injection-moulded plastic designed for strength, stability, and ease of use. The forms are non-biodegradable and intended to be left in place as part of the finished concrete edge.

 

While not reusable, SNAP-IT pieces can be recycled through standard household collection systems in New Zealand, provided they are fully cleaned of any concrete residue first. Check with your local council for specific recycling requirements.
