Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1808534A2] A grid casing has metal rods (2) welded together at intersecting points. A metal cross strut (4) connects to opposite casing sides to resist traction. Welded to the casing sides, metal cross struts have greater flexural strength than the grid casing's metal rods. An independent claim is also included for a method for preparing stone walls by using stone holding devices.
