The initial enquiry was for an estimated quantity of 150 – 200 tonnes of random walling and 150 – 160 Lm of the half round copers of which could be an assortment of Sandstones giving variations in colouring. The project was to be built by one of Yorkshire’s Professional Dry Stone Wallers.

This image shows a section of the wall with the Half Round Copers creating this beautifully crafted traditional dry stone wall.

ATTENTION TO DETAIL!

These images show each side of the wall and the complexity of the design and build and skill needed to build the wall in order to create the curved and tapered shape required in the space .

This image clearly shows the professional skills required to develop a dry stone wall from ground to copers and completed build. This is clearly a quality piece of work and excellent example of a
traditional skill using natural random stone to create natural boundaries.

150T and 150Lm of Walling and Copers were used in total to complete this project.
