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, Portland 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

Depending on the Wallstone you choose, designs can vary. When choosing a cap, you can opt for various concrete products by Cambridge or even natural stones like bluestone. 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.

Types

There are many different types of seat walls. The main difference would be the material you choose. Virtually, all materials can be built to the same design but some require more work than others. Some of the most common materials we use are made by cambridge, called olde english wall and maytrx wall, also culture stone. Olde English and culture stone are most commonly used for straight or non-curved walls. Maytrx wall stone can be used for either application. Seat walls can be built like benches or like a sofa that has a back support.
