Rendering garden walls

[Spitfire]

Got a customer wanting the contemporary garden i designed, ive done rendering before but mostly on houses, but i wondered if theres a great way to get rendered walls perfectly plumb, squared, right angled corners etc,

Any tips would be really appreciated, thanks

Had thought about the beading, the customer has the walls from this picture in mind, wondered if beading was accurate enough for it

last time i did this, my bricklayer did the renderiong on some raised beds. When he got to the corner, he used a piece of fetheredge to skim up to to give a straight edge.
We never used beading, as the customer wanted crisp white walls and edges

If thats the finish you're after then you really should use a pro. Plastering the top of the wall can be a bit dodgy unless you get your mixes right because it weathers very quickly and can be affected by freeze /thaw etc. Maybe some waterproofer and a slight angle to shed the water. Metal beading can be prone to rusting in certain areas also.

If you want to waterproof your render, prolong its life, help it resist rain, frost, freezing and thawing, see Ronafix for renders and waterproofing

Give us a call if you need more information.

When have a small raised bed box made out of breeze blocks 2 high .. does the garden / soil side need to have plastic lining or will rendering it be fine?

[Pablo]

Plastic Yes

Or paint on a sealant.

You can get stainless steel beading as well.
