The Diephaus GARDO pillar stone, measuring 37.5 × 37.5 × 20 cm, adds pillars to the GARDO garden wall system. Its right-angled edges with chamfer, smooth surface, and flamed white-black coloring match the standard and half stones of the same series. Please factor in the cost of a foundation, capping, and transport, as each stone weighs 24.9 kg.
It is aimed at garden owners and landscaping companies who want to divide or finish a GARDO garden wall with pillars; you can find more stones and slabs from the manufacturer in our Diephaus category .
According to the manufacturer, the GARDO series is suitable for the following applications; the test points help with planning:
Pillar, standard and half stones of the GARDO series share color scheme, surface and chamfer, so that wall and pillar create a cohesive overall appearance; as an alternative wall look in the same color tone, the Diephaus Lunera wall white-black is available .
The third format specification, 20 cm, corresponds to the standard and half stones, allowing the layers of wall and pillar to be coordinated.
Diephaus envisions a frost-proof foundation with a compacted frost protection layer and concrete, followed by a 5–10 cm thick mortar leveling layer into which the first layer of stones is placed.
Bricks are laid in a half-bond pattern with a 3–5 mm joint; the manufacturer recommends gluing, the top layer must in any case be mortared or glued.
The documents do not contain information on hollow chambers, reinforcement, or permissible pillar height; therefore, have higher or loaded pillars statically tested; road salt must not be used on wall elements.
The overview summarizes the information from the product page and the manufacturer's page for the GARDO series; installation instructions are taken from the Diephaus installation guide for wall elements.
