Walling Stone

What is walling stone?

Exactly as it says on the tin! Walling stone is a perfect product for building a natural stone wall in any outdoor space.

Why is it sold it weight?

You’ll notice that you buy walling stone as in weight (e.g. 500kg) rather than coverage. This is because the stone has a varying thickness of, on average, 50-80mm. This means there isn’t a guarantee on coverage. We estimate what the coverage will be, but the stone is sold purely on weight.

How do you install walling stone?

The first step is the “course” the stone. This means separate the stone into matching thicknesses, making them easy to lay in even layers (or “courses”). Once the stone is coursed, it can be installed in exactly the same was a regular brick.

Please Note: It is relatively tricky to build a wall as a first time DIY job, so we would recommend a professional.

How much walling stone will I need?

As the stone is sold based on weight, it’s a combination of an art and a science to know exactly how much stone you need to purchase. We provide a rough estimate of coverage based on the weight in the dropdowns, but this will be dependent on the ultimate thickness of the stone that arrives.
