 ADJUSTING THE SETBACK

 
 
      

    
 

 
ROCKWOOD Retaining Walls have an automatic 7.1° setback.  The amount of setback can vary from 7.1° setback to 0°  setback and can be adjusted in two ways: (1) during manufacturing  of the units, or (2) during the construction process.
  1. To adjust the setback during construction, the outer end  of the backside of the face unit is chipped away as shown.  Chip between the two score marks provided. The depth  of the chip will determine the change in the setback.  Remember: "depth" is measured from front to back (not top  to bottom).

  2. This allows the upper unit to move forward toward the  face of the wall. The more that is chipped and removed,  the more the anchor bar can move forward, and therefore,  the less the amount of setback.
