 INSTALLATION
- Remove excess
soils and all unstable subbase materials. Compact subgrade
to 95% proctor density test.
- Backfill excavated
area with appropriate depth aggregate material.* The base
needs to be compacted in 2” - 3” lifts to
achieve proper density. The base needs to extend 6”
to 12” beyond the edge of the paver installation.
- Screed concrete
sand* over the base to a uniform thickness of not less
than 1” and not more than 1-1/4”.
- Install PermaLoc
StructurEdge with the base resting on the aggregate and
facing away from the paver. (Diagram A.)
- Connections
to be made using the 4" sliding connectors. (Diagram
B)
- Install the
pavers making sure that the pavers are 1/4" higher
than the desired final grade. Sweep fine sand* into the
joints.
- Make several
passes with a plate compactor with no less than 3,000-5,000
lbs. centrifugal compaction force and operates at 80 to
90 hertz. Continue sweeping sand into the joints. Make
several passes alternating the direction of the compactor
each time.
- Remove excess
sand from paver installation.
NOTE: When installing Aluminum edging
in direct contact with ACQ treated lumber we recommend installing
a barrier material such as Grace Vycor® Deck Protector™.
