Basra free form walling, natural split, pieces 150 to 300mm, sold as loose walling by the square metre with corner pieces by the linear metre. The palette is beige, light and dark tones together, with the rough faces and chipped edges that make free form read as drystone work.
Where Basra Sits in the Range
We stock five free form wallings and they differ by colour, so the honest way to choose is by temperature. Laverton is the warmest, yellows and orange. Manethi is earthy browns with a lilac cast. Geneva is the coolest, grey with pale yellow. Basra is the neutral: sandy beiges that neither warm nor cool a space, which makes it the safest match for brick homes, timber fences and gardens that already have a lot going on. Calista is the palest, ivory.
Beige also happens to be the most forgiving colour for a garden wall; dust, dried water marks and leaf litter vanish against it in a way they never do on dark stone.
One Thing Basra Does Not Have
Capping. If your project is a freestanding wall, a planter or pillars that need a finished flat top, Geneva is the free form stone supplied with matching capping, and it is worth choosing on that alone. Basra is for clad faces: house walls, retaining faces, fence piers backed by masonry, outdoor kitchen bases.
Installing Free Form
Pieces arrive in mixed 150 to 300mm sizes and are fitted individually, drystone style, so sort a few square metres on the ground before bonding anything. Fix to solid substrate with a flexible cement-based adhesive, and add mechanical fixing on external walls above about a metre. Coverage is 15sqm per crate for loose walling and 25 linear metres for corners; measure external corners in lineal metres and order them with the flats, since under-ordered corners are the classic cladding shortfall.
The whole free form set, plus panel systems like stackstone, lives under stone wall cladding. Samples of any of the five are free, and comparing two or three in hand beats any photo. Direct import, Keysborough dispatch, freight Australia wide.
