It makes the difference, the Keystone Alignment Pin.
WHY PINS?
Pins matter because you care about…
Performance
Keystone alignment pin system adds strength and structural integrity to a retaining wall far superior to that of a rear lip system. Keystone
alignment pins are designed to provide the best wall performance – they ensure the wall unit is installed in alignment and maintains
alignment and stability for years to come.
Installation
Allowing for secure installation with ease, Keystone alignment pins take the question out of proper block placement, reducing time and
improving your installation experience. Keystone pins easily slide into the pin channels of Keystone Country Manor wall units; securing
them in place. (See product specific installation instructions for additional details.)
No Maintenance
Keystone alignment pins are weatherproof, allowing the wall to withstand the freeze-thaw process, and other weather challenges.
Savings
Using Keystone alignment pins saves you time and money. Keystone pins reduce the cost of concrete adhesive and simplify the
installation process. Projects using Keystone pins require little, to no, repair over their lifetime.
Try the Keystone interlocking pin system with your next Keystone wall project and see what a big
difference these pins make.
