3.5" of clearance. It scrapes regularly on dips & driveways, but I haven't "hit" anything with it yet.

Screws... clearly not stainless...

To keep the lawn edging from being pushed back by air pressure, I braced it using short sections of lawn edging. There's enough give in them that if the air dam hit something, they would slide down as the airdam came backward.
Thank you for showing your work! That bracing in the center is ingenious. Self correcting, if you will. Awesome.

Thank you again!!!
