How to measure
Measure the wall length and height. Measure the height of every outside corner, since corners are ordered separately by the linear foot.
Tips from the field
- Each linear foot of corner pieces covers about 3/4 of a square foot of wall, so flats are reduced to match.
- Lay out stone on the ground first and mix pieces from several boxes for even color.
