A stream in your own garden is the dream of many gardeners. Naturalness usually plays a big role. With polygonal slabs made of natural stone you can create a particularly natural stream bed. Find out what you should consider when inserting the plates.
How to use polygon plate in stream?
The polygonal panels are finally placed in the almost finished stream asdecorative element. You can use them in the stream bed as a base, for barrages over which the water flows or as a special accent for waterfalls.
What is a polygonal plate for streams?
Polygonal slabs made of natural stone are quarry slabs orquarry stone slabsThey get their name from their playful shape:irregularwith sides of different lengths. They are available in various natural stones such as granite, limestone, sandstone, quartzite, slate or bas alt. There are hardly any limits to the design thanks to the free choice of colors and shapes. Polygonal panels are often used for terraces and paths because they are very easy to care for and durable. The stone slabs can also be used decoratively for the garden pond or a stream to create interesting, natural constructions.
How do I lay polygonal panels in the stream as a substrate?
You can use polygonal panels in the stream bed in two ways:
- As decoration: place them decoratively over the waterproof layer (e.g. pond liner).
- As a waterproof surface: Lay the panels in trass cement that is still wet. This is almost impermeable to water and the water can flow through it without major losses.
Tip
Set a waterfall made of polygonal panels as a special highlight
Polygonal panels made of natural stone are very suitable for creating waterfalls. The flow of water over the plates looks particularly interesting and varied. Lay a polygonal plate firmly in the stream on a barrage so that the water can “fall” down over the edge of the plate. You can also stack the plates to form a water tower and let the water splash over them like stairs.
