Stacked Stone
Using stacked stone for walls, fireplaces and more requires a patient approach to placement
Stacking stone is an age-old strong and durable construction technique used for exterior cladding, fences, garden walls, supports, pool surrounds, fireplaces, trail markers and sculptures (cairns). The three-dimensional look can be created with true stone, artificial stone or rock paneling.
The stacked stone in this fireplace is dry set, with no mortar joints.
Stacked stone creates a surprisingly solid fence; properly consructed, the weight of the rocks will lock them in place.
Rock paneling, shown here, is an applied rock veneer that is lighter and easier to install than traditional stone.
