Hi,
EDIT - Title should say Dry Stack, not Dry Stone.
I hope someone can advise.
I have purchased 2 tonnes of black limestone walling, and have divided it into its respective course sizes. These will be dry stacked around a breeze block wall and back filled/back mortared.
Each slab in pic above is holding one set of sizes - 66mm & 67mm on one slab, 68mm & 69mm on the next slab...etc...all the way up to 90mm.
You can see that there is a large variation in brick quantity for each size (the biggest pile is 80mm & 81mm, with the immediate sizes above and below being the next largest stacks).
So, my question is, how much difference in brick size can I get away with laying in a single course (up to7 linear meters in some places)?
As things stand, there are not enough linear meters in uniform size to complete the wall I need to create.
Can I get away with 2mm difference in brick size in the same course, 4mm...6mm...etc?
Thanks in advance.
