Rendering garden walls

[Paul_Jennings]

Hi all,
I’ve just joined this forum and been reading all the posts Including ones where K rendering garden walls have gone badly wrong!

Please see the attached picture of my 2 year and counting project I’ve just booked a renderer for 4 week’s time and am getting nervous about rendering down to ground level. Is that ok or should I put stop beads above the ground level? Thinking of applying Weber Pral MF.

The ‘ground’ in this project will be different forms in some areas it will be porcelain slabs that are sloped away from the walls and sealed with grout. We also have a resin bound path that will go up to some of the walls again this will slope away from the walls and also some soil/planting areas. I have tried to do everything with longevity in mind so all the retaining walls have been painted with 2 coats of RIW heaviseal liquid DPM and also have a sheet of plastic DPM membrane behind them to stop the moisture coming through the back. There is also 110mm drainage pipes running behind all the walls to take away any water build up to the house rain water drainage system.
Any advice would be appreciated so I don’t mess this up at the last hurdle!
Thanks
Paul

Your best talking to the guy who's going to render it for you, you seem to have done a lot of research and don't want to leave any stone unturned which is good,I suggest you look into the person or company who's going to do the rendering for you as of late there's been a lot of cowboys and chancers infiltrating the rendering game

thanks Stewie I’ve been trying to get him to come back around for another chat but he’s a busy man with the weather being so good.
Always try to do the right thing to make sure it lasts. Easier to do it when it’s being installed rather than at a later date
Cheers

Id just use sand and cement on that. It will be black in no time with krend.

When you say krend what product do you mean? I wouldn’t use a scraped render for garden walls tbh

Sorry, I was thinking of using Weber pral MF but happy to change that decision if K render or Parex if they are better and have the same fine finish appearance?
