What happens here

Before installing the landscaping blocks, a specialized metal railing system must be affixed to the building's exterior. This system consists of horizontal metal rails with vertical support strips. Workers are shown installing these rails, which appear to be screwed or bolted into the building structure. The Unilock U-Cara blocks are designed to slot directly onto these rails, providing a secure and level attachment. A demonstration shows how a block clips onto the rail system.

Goal: Securely attach the specialized metal railing system to the building facade.
