Beading

[fredfriedrich]

I am going to render a garden wall which is curved i want to put beading on. Where can i get flexible beading or is there another way?

Where are you putting the bead mate ? If its round the bottem you can use a flexible wooden lath should get this in builders!

beading round the curved top edge of the brick???? :-?

Is there no copains on wall then mate?You can buy plastic stop beads with you would have to make incisions in (a bit tricky if you havent done it before) or you could get a plastic dry arch bead which is curved but the top of wall would need plastered aswell.
unless you cut one side off. :-?

just put a plank on top the wall and render up to it to get your edge, let go off a bit and then make good on top, float up. Alternatively you could just put copains on and render up to them.. how high is it?

 

[fredfriedrich]

will do the top as well only a brick. it has been rendered before but badly do i still need a scratch coat
it is only 4 foot high

what is a copain :-/?

 

[steve1976]

Yes pva it and scratch it. copains are the pre cast moulds you put on top of walls mate!

How tight is the curve ? I have done curved walls before and got away with normal angle beads. have a look -

If it's in a garden it may be a bit tighter but it's worth a look.
