Burgon & Ball - RHS Stainless Border Fork – Professional Lightweight Cultivating Tool

Burgon & Ball RHS Stainless Border Fork – Professional Lightweight Cultivating Tool

The Burgon & Ball RHS Stainless Border Fork is a refined, high-performance tool designed for gardeners who need maneuverability without sacrificing power. Slightly smaller and lighter than a standard digging fork, it is the ideal choice for working in confined borders or for those who simply prefer a more manageable tool. Despite its compact size, it is built to professional standards, tested to a breaking strain of 90kg—significantly exceeding the British standard of 55kg.

Best For: Gardeners working in tight spaces, smaller-statured users, or anyone looking for a premium, lightweight fork that still offers heavy-duty strength and durability.

Key Features

• Rolled Stainless Tines: The tines are rolled for superior strength and resistance to bending, ensuring they slice cleanly through the soil while remaining completely rust-resistant.

• Exceptional Durability: Features an extra-long, double-riveted strapped socket that provides a robust connection between the head and the handle, allowing for vital flex under pressure.

• Ergonomic Comfort: Crafted with a comfortable 'Y' grip handle made from FSC-certified hardwood, providing a natural feel and excellent leverage during cultivation.

• Lightweight Precision: Designed to be easier to handle than full-sized digging forks, making it perfect for detail-oriented work in established garden beds.

• RHS Endorsement: Proudly endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society and protected by a lifetime guarantee, ensuring it remains a staple in your garden for decades.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Can take up to 2 weeks to arrive.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.
