So, you’ve reached the top of your wall. Now what do you do? Top caps may be inappropriate for certain applications so we have developed recess blockouts to help top off your walls.
A recess blockout creates a six inch recess in the top of the block. If you are backfilling behind your wall, this void allows you to fill up and over the top of your wall. It is deep enough for any landscaping to take root.
The recess blockouts bolt directly onto your existing form. If you are using a form without tapered ends you will need a Straight End blockout. If you have the tapered ends, get the Tapered End blockout.
Half block dividers are needed for your forms when you are using the recess blockouts. The half block dividers are cut out to fit around the blockout after it is bolted in place.
There are two ways to recess a sloped block. One is to only recess the very top of the block. The other is to block out the top and the sloped area of the block. We provide both types of blockouts, each work in conjunction with the sloped end blockout (page 8).
Separate left and right blockouts are needed for corner forms. There are two different variations to work with either a straight or tapered end. The corner recess blockout leaves enough space for the corner liner to wrap up the one side of the form.
