Installation Guide

Project Preparation and Tips
Advance planning and careful layout at the job site help ensure successful projects.
Read all instructions prior to installation.
1. Have utilities location(s) marked.
2. Develop a plan; confirm lot lines, project location and area.
3. Stake project location with string line or garden hose.
Tips
• Score line does not indicate top or bottom of project block. See example on next page.
• Texture irregularities are a characteristic of this block. Flip blocks as needed during
installation to minimize gaps between blocks, being mindful of whether your project
has exposed textured ends (e.g., columns, corners).
• Wall projects require a running bond pattern. See example on page 17.
• Use an exterior-grade concrete adhesive. Apply a
1
/

-inch bead (string) of glue on the
project block prior to capping, as shown on page 17.
• Multiple cap options are available for each project. See chart below.
