Hi,
i would like to get an idea on how to secure the weedmat on the fence gap so it doesnt look like the neighbours ones where the blue metals are falling out of the weed mat.
my idea so far is to fold the weedmat like a U shape. Peg it down against the fence using 400mm plinth peg gal steel with 25mm hook width (i dont want to drill anything to the fence), cable tie/plant tie the weed mat to the peg to secure. The concrete side/the ground i will use weedmat pins to pin it down to the ground. then blue metal rocks on top.
Any better ideas please share with me, i would love to hear it.
Hello @Jack151022
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about filling in a fence gap.
I suggest thinking about using a 100 x 16mm 4.8m Edging H4 Treated Pine Sawn Wet to cover the gap. The weed mat can be stapled to the garden edging placed standing up. The "U" shape of the weedmat must still be kept.
Once you start filling the channel with blue metal the weight of the stones will actually keep the garden edging standing up. There will be no need to permanently fix the garden edging to the Colorbond fence.
Let me call on our experienced members @Dave-1 and @JacobZ95 for their recommendations.
If you need have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

Good morning @Jack151022
Id also like to offer a warm howdy 
Welcome to the Bunnings community, there are lots of ideas in here for this type of question so its the perfect place to land.
I like yours and @EricL 's suggestions to stop the blue metal going through the fence. If you are using the weedmat to stop the gravel I was thinking maybe you dont need it so much with the timber Eric has suggested or go for something that wont rot as weedmat will weaken after a couple of years.
If you are just trying to fill the gap, how about a long line of pavers? That way less weeds will grow and it will still block the gap. If you cant find ones deep enough to be flat with your concrete you could turn them on their side even?
