Instructions for Retaining Wall & Foundation Installations

1. Place the first panel against the wall with the open end (the end with the flaps) pointed in the direction from which additional panels will be added.

2 . Nailor tie the straps to the top of the wall to support the panel.

3 . Roll out corruga ted, perfora ted drainage pipe along the length of the wall.

4 . Insert the pipe into the bottom of the flap end of the panel , on the outside of the plastic core, and push it though the panel to th e far end .

5 . Insert the free end of the pipe into the slit (a t th e bottom of the sewn end) of the next panel , position it on the outside of the plastiC core, and slide the panel along the pipe.

6 . Position the leading end of the second panel inside the flaps of the first panel so that it butts the plastic core of the firs t panel .

7 . Note: ft is very important that there is a slight pitch to the pipe in the direction(s) that the water is to drain .

8. Nailor tie the straps o f th e second panel to the top of the wall to support th e pan el.

9 . Use the supplied sa fety pins to jOin the two panels in four places where th ey overlap Top, middle, bottom and just above the pipe.

10 . Con linue as above with addillonal panels.

11 . If water IS to be drained from only one end of the wafl, altach an appropriate length of non-perforated pipe to Ihe drain end. The non -draining end should be capped 10 preve nt soil from en tering sys tem.

12. M ake sure that the pipe is pOSitioned next to the core on the side away from the w all.

13. Backfill the excava ted male rial against the completed sys tem. If the fill has slones over 2" In It, you shou ld protec t Ihe dra inage sys tem from damage by leaning shee ts o f 1/2" plywood next 10 the sys tem. After each load of fill has been deposi ted and tamped, shake th e plywood loose and raise It to Ihe new level of Ihe fill before adding Ihe nexl load . Cover pane ls comple tely.

14 . Cui off Ihe hanging slraps NOlle of Ihe sys tem shou ld now stil l be VISible

Instructions for Trench or Berm Installations

1. Check trench grade to make sure the trench is sloping to one or mOfe low points for water drainage. Start excavation at"the high end. Pile excavated soil on the downhill side of trench.

2. Lay the first panel on the ground on the uphill side of the trench, at one end of the installation area , and with the open end (the end with the flaps) pointed in the direction from which additional panels will be added.

3. Roll out corrugated , perforated pipe on uphill side.

4. Insert the end of the pipe into the open-flap end of the first panel , on top of the plastic core, and push it though the full length of the panel.

5. Insert the free end of the pipe into the slit (at the sewn end) of the next panel, position it on top of the plastic core, and slide the panel along the pipe.

6. Position the leading end of the second panel inside the flaps of the first panel so that it butts the plastic core in the first panel.

7. Use supplied safety pins to join the two panels in three places where they overlap: Top, middle, and bottom.

S. Continue as above with additional panels.

9. If water is to be drained from on ly one end of the system, the non-draining end should be capped to prevent soil from entering the system.

10. Tie the end of each strap to a loose stake.

11 . Ca refully lower the completed system into the trench.

For larger systems it's often easier, safer and quicker to loop several ropes around the system while it 's still laying on the ground and have severa l people lower the system into the trench.

12. Extend the straps up out of the trench and knock the stakes into the ground , on the uphill side , so that the plastic cores inside the supported system just touch the bottom of the trench.

13. Make sure that the pipe is positioned next to the core on the uphill side of the trench.

14. Backf il l the excavated soil against the completed system .

If the fill has stones over 2" in it, you should protect the drainage system from damage by leaning sheets of 1/2" plywood next to the system. After each load of fill has been deposited and tamped , shake the plywood loose and raise it to the new level of the fill before adding the next load. Cover panels completely.

15. Cut off the hanging st raps. None of the system shou ld now still be visible.

16. Contact your sa les representat ive if adapters are needed or if th e installation is over 150 feet long.
