Planning and building a wall

According to Diephaus, the foundation depends on the soil conditions, wall height and the slope of the wall.

Foundation and offset

Diephaus specifies an excavation depth of 50 to 80 cm, 10 cm wider on both sides than the wall, 30 to 60 cm of frost protection, approximately 20 cm of lean concrete, and 5 to 10 cm of mortar leveling. It is recommended that the stones be laid in a half-bond pattern.

Quantity required

With a length of 50 cm and a height of 10 cm, this equates to 20 stones per m² of visible surface without joints; two cover plates per linear meter are added for finishing.

Care and limits

The stone has no surface protection; according to Diephaus, efflorescence is not a defect in concrete. Higher or freestanding walls require further structural engineering measures, including static calculations, according to Diephaus; you can find more stones in the Diephaus overview .
