Go big in your outdoor room designs with new Mega-Tandem Mass Retaining Wall (MRW) blocks. The versatile wall block system offers the natural look of stone with a size and mechanical structure that allow for reinforced walls up to 15 feet high, and gravity walls up to 10 feet high without reinforcement.
The blocks "are ideal for wall projects where it is difficult to impossible to excavate for stabilization for a retaining wall," says Al Pfannenstein, national retaining wall manager for Belgard Hardscapes. "This height is a sharp contrast to the traditional three-foot height that [segmental retaining walll] products typically can achieve without reinforcement."
Structurally, Mega-Tandem features a patent-pending positive mechanical connection. The reinforced polypropylene connecting members create structural integrity in curved or straight retaining and freestanding walls. Available in 12-by-24-inch panels weighing 65 pounds, the system has a running bond configuration so no patterns are required. The blocks use 8500 psi compressive strength concrete that can withstand freeze-thaw cycles, making them suitable for use nationwide, even in the coldest climates.
Available in 12 chiseled-stone textures, Mega-Tandem is available in three color blends. Belgard Hardscapes | 877.235.4273 | belgard.com
