Application

Available up to 0.9 m for gravity walls (provided the ground behind the wall is no greater than a 1:3 slope) and above 0.9 m for engineered walls.

Description

Dry build retaining walls with a distressed stone finish.


Features and benefits:

  • The dry build locking system allows fast-track construction in all weathers.
  • A patented rear lip acts as a guide to ensure accurate alignment and precise set back every time.
  • Can be built up to 900 mm high with no concrete, mortar or geogrid.
  • The stone face is rough-hewn to give the wall a weathered textured appearance akin to natural dry-stone walling.
  • The capping block is shaped asymmetrically (tapered), making capping straight or curved walls much easier, minimizing the need for cuts.


Minimum radius:

  • Outside curve (to back of block on bottom course): 1.2 m.
  • Inside curve (to back of block on bottom course): 2.4 m.
