PyZique & ANTIQUE PyZique can be used to build "bump out" retaining walls that
have a unique three dimensional appearance. The diagram at the bottom of this column
shows a cross section of the "bump out" wall construction. Single-face lip-type stones
do not allow "bump out" walls to be built. The PyZique wall shown below is an example
of a "bump out" installation.
Remember, all retaining walls, including "bump out" walls,
are built with a 5/8 inch set back of the center line of each layer from the center line
of the layer below. Failure to follow this simple requirement on walls only a few layers
tall can cause the wall to lean forward over time.
