HiGrade

Modular steel planter edging for ground-level borders, raised beds, and demarcation across hard and soft landscapes. Available in seven heights from 300mm to 600mm, with straight, corner, and curved units, in CorTen, RAL 7016, or custom powder-coated finishes. Designed and manufactured in the UK.

Designed by Kinley, Made in the UK

A system, not a product — engineered modular units with seamless concealed fixings deliver planter-height borders across complex layouts, sloping terrain, and high-traffic landscapes from a single specification.

HiGrade reads as one continuous folded steel edge. A 40mm top fold strengthens the line and softens the silhouette; concealed internal bolt fixings remove all visible joinery. The result is a clean, architectural border that holds its form across straight runs, tight 300mm radii, and complex corner geometries.

Edging heights of 300 to 1200mm. 3mm steel construction with 100mm – 300mm footplate. Units supplied in 1200mm modules with straight, internal/external corner, and internal/external curve options. Class 1A fire-rated. 100% recyclable steel. Designed and manufactured in the UK to BS EN 9001.

Variants

HiGrade Circular End Cap

The circular end cap closes a HiGrade run with a smooth curved profile, picking up the same 40mm top fold and concealed fixings as the straight unit. The result is a deliberate, sculptural terminus that reads as part of the design rather than a cut edge.

Available in standard form and as Circular End Cap LD with integrated lighting. Compatible heights and finishes match the wider HiGrade family. CorTen, RAL 7016, or custom powder-coated finishes. Designed and manufactured in the UK to BS EN 9001.

  • Curved sculptural terminus to HiGrade runs
  • Carries the 40mm folded top edge through the curve
  • LD version available with integrated illumination
  • Matches standard HiGrade units in finish and detail
  • Available in standard and Light Detail (LD) variants
  • Compatible with all HiGrade heights and finishes
  • Concealed internal bolt fixings to adjacent unit
  • Class 1A fire-rated; 100% recyclable steel

HiGrade Tall (Straight Tall)

HiGrade Tall extends the modular straight unit beyond the standard height range while preserving the family's defining details: the 40mm folded top edge, concealed internal bolt fixings, and clean folded steel face. The result is a coherent extension of the system into taller raised-planter territory.

Tall variant available alongside standard HiGrade units in CorTen, RAL 7016, or custom powder-coated finishes. 3mm steel construction with reinforced footplate. Concealed internal bolt fixings. Designed and manufactured in the UK to BS EN 9001.

  • Extended height beyond the standard 300–600mm range
  • Same 40mm folded top edge as the rest of the family
  • Concealed internal bolt fixings — clean uninterrupted face
  • CorTen, RAL 7016, or custom powder-coated finishes
  • 3mm steel construction with reinforced footplate
  • Compatible with standard HiGrade corner and curve units where heights align
  • Class 1A fire-rated; 100% recyclable steel
  • Fixed into concrete via M10 anchor bolts

HiGrade Light Detail (LD)

HiGrade Light Detail integrates concealed LED illumination into the 40mm folded top edge of the standard unit. By day the planter reads as the familiar clean steel border; by night, a soft wash of light grazes the edge, defining pathways and planted areas without visible fittings.

Available across the HiGrade unit range (Straight, Corner, Curve, and circular end caps). Compatible heights and finishes match the standard HiGrade family. Specification of LED type, colour temperature, and IP rating to be confirmed at order stage based on project requirements.

  • Concealed LED lighting integrated into the folded top edge
  • Soft downward light wash defines planted edges and paths after dark
  • No visible fittings — illumination reads as part of the edge itself
  • Matches the visual language of standard HiGrade units exactly
  • Available in Straight, Curve, and circular end cap unit types
  • Heights, finishes, and fixings consistent with standard HiGrade
  • External LED driver requirement to be confirmed per project
  • Made in the UK; coordinated with the wider Kinley LD range
