I am thinking about buying this product. I have two separate sections -- not connected -- and not long enough for the entire 40'. Can this be cut?

Sure you can cut it. I used a little hand saw with a fine tooth blade and it worked fine (takes a little while to cut through the top edge where the round part is).

Yes, this can be cut with a hacksaw but cutting and putting in a curved area is not ideal. Best to use on a relative straight area.

Yes, my husband says he cut it with a knife he keeps with his tools. We have been very pleased with this product!

I have not tried to cut it but it is a hard plastic so it should be possible to cut it with a utility knife.

After checking the site, I think that review is no longer there. My husband placed the nails at the base of the edging which is later covered up with dirt. Just remember the sun is your friend before you work with the edging. Make sure you unroll the edging and place it directly in the sun for at least one-half day before you attempt to install. This will ensure ease of installing so it won't keep rolling up while you're installing it. I think you will be pleased with the ease of the installation and the result from this edging.

Yes, this can be cut. My husband used a hacksaw to cut it. If you need to hook two sections together, use the plastic rods that come with the edging. You can also purchase a dowel of the correct diameter at a home supply store. Please take a moment to read one of the reviews about using 16 penny nails to secure the edging to the ground, especially if you have curved areas. We found that this provided a more secure and long-lasting and neat edging. We think this is an excellent product and actually purchased 6 individual items for our landscaping. I don't think you will be disappointed with this product. Yes, this can be cut. My husband used a hacksaw to cut it.

The track could be cut to the desired length, however to get a good result could prove challenging. Each end of the track has a plastic cap which attaches to the track with a phillips head screw. You would need to remove that cap, cut off the desired amount with a hack saw, being careful that the cut was square and the remaining track was not scratched. The power conductors inside the track channel do not extend quite to the ends of the track; you would need to ensure that they remained well-insulated from the metal track. When you reattach the plastic cap, you would need to drill a pilot hole in the right spot. If cutting off just a few inches would give the perfect result, it may be worth the effort. As an alternative, consider buying track heads (http://www.amazon.com/Nuvo-TH313-Square-Track-Black/dp/B000V54E0G/), power feed (http://www.amazon.com/Nuvo-TP155-Floating-Canopy-Power/dp/B002OMA3XG/), and track separately, and get a shorter track such as the 2 foot track at http://www.amazon.com/Nuvo-TR119-2-Feet-Track-Black/dp/B002OMG3DU/. I think I have also seen 3' track. And if you are wondering if the length truly is 4', the answer is yes. Mine measure precisely 48" end to end.

I used the entire strand and I did not have to cut the rope light. I'm not sure if you can cut it. Sorry I can't be any more help.

No you can't make it shorter. It is just the 2 sections that attach together.

The red section is 50ft and the yellow is 10ft. You can separate the sections but they come connected in the package. Hope this helps.

Hello. It probably could be cut down if you are willing to resew up the seams. Good luck!

Yes, you could cut it into separate pieces. I actually bought the Easy Gardener 40020 Plant Blanket, 10 x 20-Ft and cut it in half to wrap my spiral pine trees.

It appears to be two 4ft sections. If you don't need the full 8ft, you could probably cut them down to fit a smaller vehicle

I haven't seen longer versions. but you can buy a "kit" of these. usually comes with 1@5ft., 2 or 3@3ft.(12ft.-15ft. total),and an assortment of the different corner cuts. if u want to cover 10ft -15ft or more. without any corners. i would go with the single 5ft. pieces and get a few of the "couplers" to cover where 2, 5ft. pieces meet. if you have corners to negotiate, i would recommend looking for the kits. try Home Depot, or Fry's electronics

I had the same question when I ordered. I gave explicit instructions as to the EXACT size I wanted. I was ordering 10-12 feet, and was using it to cover a wood pile, so I certainly did not want separate small pieces. They are accommodating, and will cut you exactly what you want, just be very specific when you order. Hope I helped, Richard

If there is extra length it can be cut off. See other questions and answers.

This cable is about 3 feet long and can be split as far down as you like. Just by pulling apart the two wires, you could really turn this into two cables if you like.

I trimmed one 55" track by itself. In doing so there is a small segment at each end that did not get trimmed. I have another 55" track that I plan to connect to the first one to trim. When you connect the two together you can trim all the way to the ends that are joined and join the other ends to trim them. Did that make sense?

Yes you can cut these to any length. They have lines on the strip to show you where you can cut them. Once you cut them you can't add a strip, because the cut end won't have a connector on it. Each strip has a connector on each end. I hope this helps.

Yes you can cut anything including this cable to any length you wish. However, you will need to terminate the "cut-end" yourself, if that is what you need.

The bar and ends are separate pieces, so I would think you could cut it. However, it is pretty light-weight and hollow, so it might make a mess of it unless you have precise tools.

You have to cut it out. Use a scroll saw or a hand saw and cut through, you should be able to pull it out the rest of the way.
