Border Spade

The lightweight, ergonomic design of this border spade makes it comfortable and easy to maneuver, while its compact size is ideal for preparing beds and borders, working in containers or tending to areas around existing plants.

Weighing 3 lb 10 oz, the spade stands about 41" tall with a durable ash shaft set in a deep socket for excellent strength. The 9" × 5 1/2" head is made from rust-resistant stainless steel and has foot treads to prevent damage to your footwear and your arches.

The spade exceeds the British standard of 121 lb of force at the end of the handle without breaking; however, it is not indestructible, so it should not be used to uproot saplings or move boulders.

As with any wood-handled tool, we do not recommend leaving it outdoors in the rain.

The border spade is also available in set with a matching fork.
