Building a rendering lip

[AverageDIYerEssex]

Hi all. Hope everyone's ready for Christmas.

So I have a question about something I would like to create. I am looking to render some patches at the rear of my house after having some bifolds fitted. I doubt I will be able to match the finish of the current render so thought I would build a step and make it look like a frame so the difference in render finish won't look too odd.

The front already has a similar thing to what I want to achieve but wondered how you would get the 'step' as pictured below? Any ideas? Is it just layers of render built up to the extra 10-15mm?

Many thanks.

Probably a render bead to form edge.

So just a render bead (which you can see on the bottom part actually) and then fill it up with layers or render to the edge?

Possible base coat then internal timber frame to hold bead before finish .

Thanks for your reply and I like your thinking. I was wondering whether timber could be used in some way. I've got 6 metre bifolds and need to redo about 400mm each side and over the top of the doors.

Would you mind elaborating your idea a little so I can picture it better please? Thank you.

Base coat, then when dry a timber baton screwed to form an edge with the bead stop outside it. Render back to bead when dry remove timber and make good fixing holes.
