Slate pickaxe

Also called slate pegs, they can be used to separate different areas in your garden, delimit paths and paths, and also placed vertically you can make small decorative fences, creating a truly original and spectacular effect. 

The name pickaxe comes because it is a product that was used in Bordeaux to support grape vines.

 

Advantages of the chalkboard in the garden

  • High resistance and durability, it is a very compact natural stone so water and frost do not affect it.
  • Stable aesthetics, slate will not change over time, keep in mind that the main use of slate is roof tiles, where for centuries they remain unchanged in both shape and color.
  • Very simple installation. Simply place it on the ground or on a bed of sand and the board will not move.
  • Originality and contrast. Any natural stone is beautiful and impressive in itself, but slate combined with other white stones creates a spectacular effect, due to its intense color and texture.
  • Non-slip by nature. Due to its texture, it is a very non-slip floor, it does not need any type of treatment, you will not slip.
  • Not mosses. It is such a compact material, not very porous, that it is not affected by mosses, fungi, etc...
  • Not cleaning. Being very little or not at all porous, dirt does not become embedded. It may get some dust but with a little water the pieces will look like new, like the first day.

How much stone do I need?

How much stone do I need for the ground?

For shot and gravel song:
• ± 80kg per m², based on a 5cm layer.*For granulometries> 32mm a thicker layer is necessary.• Saca consumption: 1000kg = 0.625m³.
• Covering capacity: ± 12.5m² with a layer of 5 cm.

For pine cortex:
• ± 70L per m², based on a 5cm layer.
• Saca consumption: 1000L = ± 1m³ = ± 600kg
• Covering capacity: ± 14m² with a layer of 5 cm.

For volcanic, slate and chamota:
• ± 50kg per m², based on a 5cm layer.
• Saca consumption: 1000kg = ± 1m³
• Covering capacity: ± 20m² with a layer of 5 cm

How much stone do I need to fill a gabion?

Density of ± 1,650kg by 1m³.

The calculation is very simple to understand with an example, if you have a 100x50x30 cm gav. You have to make the following accounts:
1x0.5x0,3 = 0.15m³
0.15x1,650 = 247.50kg. stone.
*It is always good to calculate an extra 5%, since the gavions when filling them are a little and always enters some more stone than in the theoretical calculations.

Clarifications

ATTENTION!

Granulometries are sizes of sizes

Real sizes can vary slightly, since when talking, for example, 60-80mm stone, it means that the stones pass through a square mesh of 80x80mm. and do not go through a 60x60mm.
This 80x80 mesh can pass a 100mm stone. long and 65mm. wide so there may be a percentage of stones greater than 80 and less than 60mm.

Broken stones

On the other hand, in the stones of more than 60mm. There is a percentage of up to 10% stones that can be broken during classification, washing, loading and downloading, today we have no machinery that avoids those breaks.

In the photos you can see, only real products are seen, broken pieces have been removed.

Dust and sand in products

This product is not washed, so it contains dust, sand and even traces of other products due to processing and transport. This is not a problem when using it; The stone will be washed alone over time or can throw water before using it.
