    Rendering steps

    Thanks Fred Perhaps I would be better off using paving slabs for the tread and two coats of render for the risers. Thanks for taking the time to reply! Chris

    Rendering steps

    Help! I have constructed a flight of steps made out of breeze blocks. I would like to render them. Will a 10-12mm 3-1 mix be enough or do I need to do two coats? Also is it best to put an angle bead across each tread edge? Thanks for any advice given.

    Could someone just recap the basics?

    I have built an retaining garden wall using breeze blocks. I want to render it to improve its appearance. I have read the other posts but have ended up feeling confused. Would someone be able to give an brief, simple 'idiots guide' to rendering? Can I avoid using lime? Whats the difference...
