30 pieces Tegula Beveled Pieces
14 (+ 4 cut 7.5” ) pieces Tegula Pieces
14 Small, 4 Med & 12 Rec pieces Rotundo caps

Tools needed include:
String line, level, gloves, shovel, wheel barrow, tape measure, caulking gun & Rubber mallet

Installation Instructions:

Step 1 - Prepare the site
Dig out an area 7’ long and 3’ 10” wide and 8” deep. Curve ends to create an oval shape. Fill the dug out area with 6” of gravel. Aggressively tamp the gravel using a hand tamp to create a solid base.

Step 2 - Lay base course
Use a rubber mallet to level stones as you set them in place. Lay 16 Tegula Beveled Pieces (eight per end) and 8 Tegula pieces (4 per side).

Step 3 - Continue
Finished project should be approximately 6’8” long and 3’ 4’ wide, curved ends will have an approximate radius of 20” to the outside of the stones.

Step 4 - Second course
Lay 14 Tegula Beveled Pieces (seven per end) and 6 Tegula pieces (3 per side) in middle. Set 4 - 7 1/2” cut Tegula pieces (2 per side) outside of full pieces to fill in the gap.

Step 5 - Continue
This sets a vertical stagger for the stones. Set and glue the courses together. Begin to cap the planter. The caps can be laid tight with no overhang, or spread out with a 1/2” overhang.

Step 6 - Cap the wall
Cap the planter with 14 small Rotundo caps (seven per end) 12 Rectangle Rotundo caps (6 per side) & 4 Medium Rotundo caps (1 on each side between Rectangles and Smalls). Secure with glue.
