Freestanding walls with column integration are
easily achieved with the design versatility offered in Keystone Potenzo Stone.® |
||||||
|
||||||
| Classic hardscape designs with stately capped columns are a natural with Keystone Potenzo Stone. Borrowing many of the same elements as the interlocking planter project (detailed on pages 12-13), this freestanding structure is a great accent to frame a driveway, patio or property corner. | ||||||
|
||||||
| As a freestanding structure, this 90o “L”wall layout needs to be assembled in the “closed” position, (i.e.,without any gaps between blocks). Units can be used to build a typical 20" square column. Take care to incorporate and interlock the columns into the wall- as opposed to creating the columns as abutting structures to the wall. | ||||||
|
||||||
| Wall end columns also allow for internal reinforcement, providing greater strength and height, along with providing a larger footprint dimension for aesthetic purposes. Internal column reinforcing can provide for steel re-bar and solid concrete grouting in connection with a reinforced concrete foundation. If you live in a frost-prone area, consult a Keystone representative for additional information. | ||||||
|
||||||
| When assembling a freestanding Keystone Potenzo Stone wall, use Keystone Kapseal or the equivalent between each course of block in the wall/column as well as to fasten the cap/coping. |
