4mm | 5m+ high & free-standing walls. Use for seating or surfaces that will be walked on. Will give an architectural, straight edge finish when filled carefully with interlocking rocks. |
5mm | 5m+ high walls & free-standing walls. Use for seating or surfaces that will be walked on. Best for an architectural, uniform and precise finish. For use in public parks. Can be used with rounded stone fill. |
