How are natural stone arches constructed?View answer

Asked by Visitor

To build an arch, you start with two low wall sections of equal height on either side of a gap that's the planned width of the arch. Then, use a wooden form, a half-circle cut in the desired curve of the final arch, as a support. Beginning at the wall edges, build up along the sides with wedge-shaped stones.
