What happens here
After the first course of base blocks is laid, begin assembling the columns. First, position the metal wire rebar cages directly on the base blocks where your columns will stand, ensuring they are centered. Then, start stacking the Belgard Tandem Wall blocks around the rebar cages and along the wall sections. These modular blocks are designed to interlock with the course below them, creating a secure connection. The unique design of the Tandem Wall blocks creates a hollow core. Continue stacking the blocks, ensuring each new block engages firmly with the connectors of the blocks beneath it. For columns, ensure the rebar cage remains vertical and centered as you build up the layers.
Goal: Construct the wall and column framework using interlocking blocks and rebar cages
