I have metal edging in my yard around what used to be a lawn. The lawn died and we had the old soil removed. The metal edging is now exposed and we don't plan to replace the lawn until next year. In the meantime, I have two dogs who run around the yard, and I don't want them to land hard on the edging and cut themselves. Is there some sort of flexible plastic or something else that I can put on top of the edging to soften the edges so that my dogs don't hurt themselves? I'm looking for something plastic (and not foam) that will stay during the rain.

Take a cheap garden hose and carefully split it open using a sharp knife then push it on around the edging.

Yes, there is a plastic cover that you can purchase that slips over the exposed edge of the metal. Why not remove it completely, and replace the edging with plastic, fiberglass, or decorative rock, at the same time that you replace your lawn?

the hose is a good idea.
you might also try the plastic edging stuff...
i don't know how high your metal edging is exposed but the plastic weed barrier edging should cover up to about a three inch edge.
if all else fails and you just want something cheap and temporary, try covering it with a couple of layers of duct tape.....
good luck
