THE DESIGN
Forix has rear legs with triangular geometry to create an arching effect. The backfill places a downward pressure onto the units. The system is capable of a turning radii with the option of a 90 degree corner unit. Lugs on the bottom of the units allow for automatic vertical alignment control. Other features include free draining with stone infill and ability to design and construct Forix walls in less time than market competitors.
AESTHETICS
The rubber textured liners used in the production of the Forix cast units produce a deep 5.5” reveal. Various face styles (eight for the Bouldercrest style), when stacked randomly, provide a mixture of stone sizes to emulate a natural stone stacked retaining wall. Contact your local Forix rep to see what styles are available in your area.
