The blocks are connected using pins rather than adhesives, ensuring a strong, structural bond.

into the slot below and that creates your connection that creates your bond and another thing to think about is it's one block and you're done i make all my corners with the same block i don't order a specialty block you don't make a specialty block for corners we make our own specialty blocks you can make freestanding vertical walls with the same block by hammering the back off you see this line right here take a chisel and a hammer knock that off and you have a rough face finish on both the front and the back and now you can build a freestanding wall with the same block you can build the columns with the same block you basically so here's the columns with it so you see that is that a versalock standard unit standard unit so everything you can do stairs everything that and i don't mean to pick on the other guys but everything that they do you've got to have a specialty block because they're hollow a lot of them are hollow and once you try to split a hollow block you've got that void space to deal with you eliminated that whole thing if it ain't broke don't fix it first a lot why are you not available nationwide because there's guys all over they're saying i can't get them what's going on with that where are you available here what's your geographical range so our midwest region we throughout where we're heavily into the midwest region there are spots that we're not national um don't have national areas there that are covered but midwest region we're super strong i know east coast were strong you know so uh look us up online and you can find out where the dealers are um where you can get the products um but that's you know that's it's it's not everywhere so find a region look us up online okay okay so we're at the ready rock booth one of the things i mentioned before was bigger blocks more production there's absolutely nothing that has changed about that yes i do like the lock stuff but this is an awesome option here's the good bad and in between on these big blocks just gonna lay it straight up where the stuff is super expensive i mean the cost of this material is a lot more than the cost of a standard retaining wall block but you're also getting a lot more material you can buy a standard retaining wall block that i typically use for under ten dollars a square foot these are double triple quadruple the price that i can get the other one just depends on what you're doing but you're also faster and you when you lay these out so you can hook these right here…
