How is this batter accomplished in a GeoStone wall?
. How much batter can be built into a GeoStone wall? The GeoStone wall has much more flexibility in its batter since pens or lips do not restrict it. A GeoStone wall can be vertical or with as much as a 2″ batter per course. How is a consistent batter maintained during construction? A bevel is located on the front of the block at the top of the face. This bevel provides a 0.35″ batter if the course of block above is set to the back of the bevel. On the Landscape Block, this equates to a 5 degree batter, or a 2.5 degree batter on the Standard Block. Three grooves are cast into the upper side of the GeoStone module which can also be used to maintain consistency in batter. When building a straight wall, it is recommended that a string line be used. Since the GeoStone module does not use pens or a lip, how does it get its connection strength? The GeoStone module has a large open core (1/2 sq. ft in the Standard and 1/4 sq. ft in the Landscape block). This core is filled with #67 rock (1″ t
