Granite, umbonate mushroom, staddle stone

The use of Staddle Stones dates back centuries. They were originally used to raise barns and granaries. This prevented rats and mice from climbing into the buildings and ensured damp didn’t damage the stored products. Staddle stones are now a popular garden ornament, although they are still used in a functional capacity as a platform for wooden posts to insulate them from damp ground and provide a solid foundation for the structures they support. As these staddle stones are made from natural granite, please note that the colour can vary. As shown in the pictures above they can have a different surface finish from the way they are cut. Please also note there may be some size variation of up to 2%. We store our staddle stones outside, where they can begin to weather. If you are using stones in close proximity, and require a close colour match please contact us prior to purchasing. We do allow for small chips and uneven edges.
