PRAIRIE stone units shall be delivered to the jobsite on banded wood pallets with protective material. Each edge of a cube shall be protected by a pre-molded edge protector. Each cube shall be covered with a clear plastic wrap. Keep protective covers on the units until installation. Pallets shall be stored in single stacks on level ground and covered with a waterproof covering (e.g., tarpaulins) to protect the units from inclement weather. Units must be handled carefully to avoid breakage and damage to the finished surfaces.

Protection of Work: Cover walls, including open tops, each day after installation to keep open walls dry and protected. After units are installed, they should be protected from damage by other trades performing operations that can stain or otherwise damage the finished surfaces by covering walls with plastic. Corners should be protected from damage after installation by covering them with plywood. Do not, under any circumstance, install a damaged unit. If units have been damaged during transit, contact PRAIRIE stone immediately.
