How to Build a Reinforced Retaining Wall Using Geogrid

Geogrid is a polyester woven fabric used to reinforce the soil behind a retaining wall. This video shows how to build a reinforced Allan Block retaining wall. Allan Block is a mortarless system that requires no concrete, grout, or pins to hold it together. There are two basic types of grid: Uniaxial and Biaxial. With uniaxial grid you must roll out the grid perpendicular to the wall, cut the grid to the designed length, and repeat as you move along the wall. With a biaxial grid, such as AB Reinforcement Grid, you can simply select a roll width that matches the design length and roll the geogrid along the retaining wall. You can find many more videos, photos, literature, estimating tools and more regarding retaining walls, AB Courtyard Collection seating walls and the AB Fence product at www.allanblock.com
