Harling (wall finish)

Harling is like putting a big plaster or bandaid on a building. We use it to cover up the outside walls of houses or buildings. Harling is made of wet cement mixed with little rocks or sand, and it's put on the walls with a trowel. This helps protect the walls from rain, wind, and other bad weather. Once the harling dries, it looks like a bumpy, textured finish on the wall. Harling can also be painted different colors to make a house or building look pretty.
