Burgon & Ball - RHS Telescopic Wavy Edged Hedge Shear – Extended Reach Compound Action Shears

Burgon & Ball RHS Telescopic Wavy Edged Hedge Shear – Extended Reach Compound Action Shears

The Burgon & Ball RHS Telescopic Wavy Edged Hedge Shear is a versatile, high-reach tool designed for gardeners who need both power and precision at a distance. Endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society, these shears feature a unique compound action that delivers 60% more cutting power than standard models. The specialized wavy-edged blades are engineered to "trap" stems and foliage, preventing them from sliding down the blade when the tool is fully extended, ensuring a clean and efficient cut every time.

Best For: Maintenance of tall or wide hedges where extra reach is required, and for trimming "slippery" foliage like grasses or conifers that tend to slide out of straight blades.

Key Features

• 60% More Cutting Power: The unique compound lever action significantly increases leverage, allowing you to slice through thick, woody stems with minimal physical effort.
• Wavy-Edged Blades: Specialized wavy blades are designed to grip and trap foliage during the cutting stroke, which is especially useful when working at full extension where control is most difficult.
• Telescopic Reach: Features an easy-to-use mechanism that extends the overall length from 65.5cm to 85cm, providing the reach needed for tall hedges or deep garden borders.
• Ultra-Lightweight Aluminium Shafts: Constructed for ergonomic overhead work, the lightweight shafts reduce arm and shoulder strain during long trimming sessions.
• RHS Endorsed: This tool meets the exacting quality standards of the Royal Horticultural Society, ensuring professional-grade performance and durability.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Oversized, heavy, and structural goods ship via specialist freight. Freight is calculated at checkout from estimated packaged volumetric or physical weight. Carrier depot audits may adjust the rate — if the increase exceeds 10%, we will contact you before processing.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup — default method
✔ Direct delivery — requires an operational forklift on site unless Tailgate Delivery has been specifically requested and quoted (contact us — this cannot be selected at checkout)
✔ Tailgate hydraulic lift delivery — must be specifically requested; contact us for a quote (not available as a checkout option; extra fees apply; required if you do not have a forklift)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Any carton or consignment over 25–30kg (or over 200cm) must be palletised
• Without a specifically requested and paid Tailgate Delivery quote, palletised freight requires a forklift on site — otherwise the carrier will redirect to the nearest depot
• Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box — provide a physical street address
• Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions

Business Delivery:

• Selecting a business/commercial delivery rate warrants that the address has an operational forklift and certified operator during business hours
• If the carrier cannot unload, the consignment may be redirected to a depot and secondary fees may apply
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

See our Terms & Conditions (Article 8) for full freight and delivery rules.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse is a logistics hub, not a retail showroom. Listing a product online does not mean it is stored at our Thomastown warehouse — many lines ship from supplier hubs (split fulfilment may apply).

How lead times work:

• Product page ETA: The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) / lead-time badge shown on the product page at checkout is the agreed delivery timeframe for that order under Australian Consumer Law.
• Metro baselines: Advertised ETAs apply to standard metropolitan zones. Regional and remote addresses may take longer and may attract surcharges.
• Peak seasons: Orders in March–May, August–October, EOFY (June), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (November), and Christmas/New Year (December–January) may automatically add a 2–4 week buffer beyond the product page ETA.
• Supplier-dependent / backordered items: If stock is delayed, we will notify you with a revised ETA. You then have 7 days to accept the new timeframe or cancel for a full refund.
• Adloheat: Custom-made products from Adloheat (Pakenham, VIC) may take 4–12 weeks depending on the order.

Full fulfilment, cancellation, and freight rules are in our Terms & Conditions.
