45 | belgard ® product installation guide | belgard.com | 877-235-4273 Laying Pattern Guide for Multi-Piece Walls USING A PATTERN FOR SINGLE-HEIGHT RETAINING WALLS When using a pattern, begin at one edge, laying the units as indicated. Install at least one repeat of the pattern to establish the pattern before proceeding to the next course. Stagger the patterns as shown to avoid vertical bonds. One set of 6-inch-high retaining wall blocks consists of 2 large units, 1 medium unit and 1 small unit, and is 2 square feet. 6" Multipiece wall system, 18-inch by 4-foot pattern = 6 sq. ft. USING A PATTERN FOR FREESTANDING WALLS One set of 6-inch-high blocks consists of 2 large units, 1 medium unit and 1 small unit, and is 1 square foot of two sided wall. Note: These freestanding wall installation patterns show only one side of the freestanding wall. The same number of blocks are needed to build the other side of a freestanding wall when using Belair Wall 2.0 and Brisa freestanding wall systems. Freestanding wall installation patterns are measured in length by height of one side of the wall, and are expressed in square feet. Sets of blocks required include the number of blocks needed to build both sides of the wall. ENDING A WALL WITH WALL ENDS Start pattern next to a wall end unit if the wall does not end with a column. Every other wall end is cut in half. Glue all pieces in place using concrete adhesive.
