| Retaining Wall Installation
The Celtik Wall System offers three different configurations; the
90mm high module, the 135mm high module or a combination of the two.

|
Draw a string at the projected front wall
level.
Spread a thin layer of screening to provide a
laying bed.
|
|
 |
For this project we will be using the 90mm high
module. |
|
The Celtik Wall System Blocks come in various
lengths, for better stability we recommend using the longest
blocks for the first row.
|
|
 |
When you install the first row of blocks, start at
the lowest extremity of the wall. |
|
Level each block with screening. The first row of
blocks must be perfectly straight and level.
|
|
 |
(Using the level to smooth out the screening.)
|
|
|
From the second row of blocks and on you will
start using the anchor pins, the longest blocks require two pins
the others only one.
|
|
 |
The modules are placed bottom up on the pallet to
accelerate installation. |
|
First insert pins in the modules. Use the
appropriate round slot, depending on whether the wall is to be
vertical or sloped 8 degrees.
|
|
 |
For the installation of the vertical wall insert
the pins in the round slot closest to the side. |
| The Celtik Wall is easier to install than natural
stone and does not require any mortar. Its top and bottom
surfaces are flat to ensure easy, solid and stable stacking. |
|
 |
Carefully distribute different sizes of blocks to
give a balanced natural look to the layout.
Note that the maximum height of a vertical wall is 21 inches or 55
cm. |
 |
When building a wall to the maximum height of 42 inches or
1.1 meters, you have to insert the pins in the round slot
closest to the middle of the blocks.
This way the wall will be sloped 8 degrees and reach a maximum height
of 42 inches or 1.1 meters.
|
|
Use 0 to 3/4 inch or 0 to 20 mm stones and place
them behind the wall in a slope so that the water will evaporate
and not accumulate behind the wall.
Start back-building to provide proper support as soon as a height of
24 inches or 60 cm is reached. Use 20 mm or 3/4 inch clean stone.

 |
Fold the geotextile over the drainage system. |
