S&C Render Advise

[Leejoe80]

Morning all, firstly not a plasterer so forgive the ignorance (but have worked in the building trade for 20 years).

Ive built some blockwork planters at home and want to give rendering a go, but would like some advise please?

1) my planned mix will be 5, 1, 1 (p-sand, hyd lime, cem) - is waterproofer or anything else needed?

2) I’ve bought plastic 10mm corner beads and already cut/mitred them up - is 10mm going to be alright, thought I had 15mm in truth, but would rather not waste them.

cheers - thanks in advance!!

No one advised you previously so should not go for the jugular and comment on its faults. It’s gonna fail one day due to water travelling up and through it
black Jack the inside or something

True that,

Going to be the worst bit in a few months

Even with the very best waterproofers and mix designs, the flat section on top will crack. And also black streaks down them soon too.

It looks nice when first done an yes that looks decent for a none spread but they are one massive design fault

Paint them pink —-be the first. Neat job, but all the above will happen eventually, blackjack is a must.

Have a slight fall on the tops so the water will definitely not hold on the top

Get some wide coping stones bedded on the top with a nice deep drip groove. that will help out.
