Concave Curves
The Celtik Wall System facilitates the creation of curves.
For a concave curve you don’t need to cut the blocks, just lay
each block in position, alternating their lengths.
|
|
Convex Curves
 |
To create a convex curve you
don’t need to cut the blocks, just strike the extremities of
the block at the back and alternate their lengths.
|
|
 |
The minimum radius of a convex curve is 36 inches
or 90 cm. |
Creating a 90 degree angle corner with retaining wall blocks
|
To create a 90 degree angle corner use the blocks
that have grooves. They are included in the pallet.
|
|
 |
Depending on if it’s a right or left corner,
split the block along one of the two grooves. Proceed this way
on the four faces of the block to get a good clean cut. Make
sure to cut the textured side in last.
Strike the newly split surface with a hammer to attain the same
finish as on the other blocks.
For your safety, we recommend you use safety glasses.
|
 |
Insert the pin without blade in the round slot closest to the
side.
|
|
 |
We recommend you use concrete adhesive to glue the corner blocks
together.
|
|
 |
Lay the blocks down this way to get better stability and a
natural look.
