stone veneer ties or no ties
stone veneer ties or no ties
(OP)
Someone told me the other day that you don't need to provide masonry ties to substructure for 6" thick stone veneer.
I have never seen this in code and am highly doubtful. Anyone heard of this?
Thanks in advance.

If these are large stone panels, they will not have masonry ties, but will instead have much more robust clips to connect to structure.

thinking of it like a free standing wall, tie back would be required of height more then a few feet

is this random ashlar, running bond? doubt it will matter much, but random ashlar is a bit more irregular with where anchors will be as its not known until the stone is laid.
