What's under our Sitting Walls
All of our sitting walls are built on a concrete footing. This concrete is mixed on-site using a mixture of sand, concrete, and water. What we do is excavate 4-8 inches down and 12 inches wide and compact the soil. We then add our concrete footing and set our first course on top of the concrete so it will bond as one unit.
Installation
After patio heights are set, we begin to figure out the heights of the seat wall, including paver sitting wall and patio sitting wall options. The team will decide when they want to build the wall, during or after the patio process. Once the heights are determined, the crew will dig for the footings.
As a result, a typical footing for our normal sitting walls, such as paver sitting walls and patio sitting walls, is about 6 inches deep with the first course set in the concrete. Each course is glued to the next. This meticulous process ensures structural integrity as well as a visually appealing finish.
Design and Types
Depending on the Wall stone you choose, designs can vary. When choosing a cap, you can opt for various concrete products by Permacon or even natural stones like armour stones. Firstly, when designing curved walls, take into consideration both sides of the wall may need to be cut, resulting in more time and material, thus increasing the price. Equally, sitting walls are most commonly built to be 18-22 inches tall for the most comfortable sitting position.
