Description
Keystone – Country Manor & Stonegate
This dry-stacked, yet mechanically connected wall evokes the Old World charm of a mason-crafted wall. In a castle or home, these graceful curves, monumental columns and freestanding walls are all part of the charm of Country Manor from Keystone. Units come in four colors.
Keystone’s Country Manor “shouldered” Pinned System features high strength fiberglass pins that provide a shear connector, securely holding geo-grid reinforcement and aligning units. Pins fit all three-size units. Thirty pins are needed for each layer.
NOTE: It is best to construct the wall using the units as they are stacked on the shipping pallet. There is no pattern repeat, so work with random units. It is best to avoid stack bond, or when a vertical joint line between adjoining units continues over several courses.

Curves
Curving walls add texture to a landscape, creating a circular center patio and separating it from planting areas. Convex (outward) and concave (inward) curves can be built in both the near-vertical and the one-inch set-back walls. Because the units are finished on both sides, Country Manor can be used for free-standing walls. However, these should always be built in a vertical position, as well as, each course should be adhered to each other using Titebond adhesive.
Wall Variety
For a creative design option, units may occasionally be placed vertically in the wall to provide a break of horizontal lines. To span two, six-inch-high courses, use the unit with the 12-inch length. Because the fiberglass pins do not interlock in this position, use Titebond adhesive to fasten this unit in place. Be sure the unit above the 12-inch vertical unit spans beyond the six-inch width of the vertical unit, so each end of the vertical unit is covered with a horizontal unit.
