    Hi, I have seen these orange edge protectors, they are about 4ft, they are plain edge protectors nothing special. Where do they get them? Home improvement store? Which one? Thx

    No, these don't have grooves to hold straps in place, just plain edge protectors, also they are much thicker

    Make your own out of PVC fence post. They are cheap and easy to cut to the length that you choose

    The orange ones are total crap! They crack right down the middle come winter, or if something is a bit soft. The black ones are much better quality. . . IMO! The PVC pipe shippers sometimes will let you have some scraps to work with too. Good Luck.
