I am thinking just morta base on the back of the paver. the wall will also have a bullnose sandstone cap. the current wall ranges from about 200 to 500mm high and the pavers are 500mm sq. Re: Sandstone pavers as retaining wall cladding 2Aug 16, 2011 10:05 pm Not much experience with sandstone unfortunately but if it were me I'd be looking at treating them as any tile. I doubt the mortar will keep the paver up on the wall. More or less apply the same method as a stack stone wall. This is not my strongest skill with this stuff (I get others to things like this) Do a search on applying stack stone (I've seen a few) I will also move this thread to the paving section but leave the shadow link in here The guys in that forum will be best suited to answer this. I hope Davinci or PlannedLS has a read, he'll be a gem to answer this one Kek, might know too. Re: Sandstone pavers as retaining wall cladding 3Aug 18, 2011 9:33 am I made a water wall, over 1m high and used Sikaflex construction adhesive for the cladding. Can't remember which one, just go and read the different tubes at Bunnings. Works brilliantly and is not hard like mortar, it retains a certain amount of flexibility. Just apply 5 big blobs on the tile and squeeze onto the wall. May need to prop it up depending on how heavy the tile is, until dry.
