Dry stone ๐Ÿงฑ

What is the dry stone method?

The dry stone method is a fascinating building technique that has been used for centuries in different parts of the world. Unlike traditional building methods, dry stone construction does not require the use of mortar or other binding materials, making it a sustainable and environmentally friendly option.

How does dry stone methods work?

To construct a dry stone structure, carefully selected stones are chosen based on their shape, size, and weight, and are then placed one on top of the other with great care and attention to detail. This ensures that the structure remains stable without the need for additional support.

Dry stone structures come in various forms, including walls, bridges, houses, and even entire cities. They are often found in rural areas where access to building materials and resources is limited, and they are appreciated for their aesthetic appeal and longevity.

How long can a dry stone wall last?

With proper maintenance and care, dry stone structures can withstand the test of time and last for many years. The method requires skill and experience to master, and there are even professional drystone masons who specialize in this technique.


Dry Stone learning opportunities ๐Ÿงฑ
