-There are lots more techniques involved in building dry stone walls, such as pinning and wedging to hold stones in place, bridged joins to ensure the wall’s strength, and trimming stones to shape and size. These skills are probably best obtained by doing rather than reading, and so attending a [course](/drys/dry_stone_walling) is probably a good idea. Other features can be incorporated into walls, such as stiles for people and holes for sheepdogs; and there are other styles of wall, such as single-skinned retaining walls, and Cornish and Welsh varieties that have turf or even hedges on top of the wall.

 Grants are available to farmers to build or repair dry stone walls under the [Environmental Stewardship](http://www.naturalengland.org.uk/ourwork/farming/funding/es/default.aspx) scheme. Grants vary according to location, farming activity, etc.
