The aging garden wall shines with a cladding in new splendor. Instead of painstakingly replastering old masonry, simply mount decorative, weatherproof panels made of plastic or natural stone on top. Find out here which options are available for the aesthetic makeover.

Bare garden walls can be spiced up with natural stone cladding

Wall paneling with authentic flair - successful simulation of naturalness

With wall cladding made of glass fiber reinforced plastic, the regular renovation of your garden wall finally comes to an end. At the same time, the weather-resistant material is processed and designed in such a way that an appearance is created that only on closer inspection is recognized as a simulation. The following overview presents popular variants with prices:

  • Shingle look: 40 euros/m²
  • Clinker look in white or red: 47 euros/m²
  • Rock or quarry stone look: 58 euros/m²
  • Panels in wood look: 39 euros/m²
  • Eternit look in white, grey, red or black: 80 euros/m²

There are also fasteners, corner elements with a matching look, ventilation profiles and the substructure made of wooden slats. This accessory is not usually included in the scope of delivery and must be ordered separately.

Attaching the plastic cladding - tips for assembly

The cladding of GRP quarry stone slabs or plastic panels is attached to the garden wall on a substructure made of impregnated wood. The supporting battens are pieces of wood measuring 20×48 mm, which are attached with dowels at a distance of 30 to 40 cm from the wall. On the one hand, the space in between is used for rear ventilation and, on the other hand, keeps small animals away. The cladding is hung in offset rows on the supporting structure and then fixed in the screw strip.

Elegant, genuine and expensive - cladding made of natural stone slabs

Plastic is not a popular building material in a natural garden. With a well-padded budget, it can be wall cladding made of real natural stone slabs. The modules are tailored to a thickness between 15 and 40 mm and are available in almost all types of natural stone. Of course, so much luxury has its price, as the following overview shows:

  • Quartzite in gray from 29 euros/m²
  • Slate from 43 euros/m²
  • Sandstone from 39 euros/m²
  • Quarry stone as polygonal slabs from 21 euros/m²
  • Jura marble from 59 euros/m²

Facing bricks made of natural stone are attached to the substrate with a tile adhesive. A cutting disc or a wet cutter is sufficient to cut the modules into shape if necessary. For a beautiful appearance, the natural stone slips are usually laid seamlessly. In order to cover a free-standing garden wall seamlessly, the scope of delivery includes so-called facing corner stones with Z-serration. The overhang at the side serves as a starting point for the natural stone facing on the neighboring side of the wall.

tips

With a cladding, you can also decoratively enhance a new, self-built garden wall made of brick or concrete. You hide the unattractive masonry from view with a cladding in a natural stone look. For a fraction of the cost, you can use this trick to simulate a natural quarry stone wall that is almost indistinguishable from the original.
