Once the wall is built check it is straight.

Use timber baton to prop the wall to the exact line.

If your footing is not level and smooth extra propping may be needed.

The props are not to stop the wall from falling over just to keep it straight.

Close the end blocks off using metal or timber board.

As the concrete is poured the cream will weep through the perforations. When it starts to stiffen rub this back smooth with the block to create a smooth flat finish.

If you find not enough cream weeped through mix up a 3:1 render mix to fill any remaining holes.

12 Compelling Reasons Why You Should Use PROblocks: 1. PROblocks won’t burst under the immense pressure of wet concrete . . . unlike traditional timber and metal shutters have been known to do.

2. Made polypropylene. It’s an extremely durable material, using 100% recycled materials Known for its structural strength and lasting durability as well as for being a lightweight alternative to concrete blocks.

3. PROblocks are as easy as lego® to assemble thanks to its revolutionary design and unique clip locking system. Which means you can build walls very fast.

4. Can be built in all weather conditions which means it doesn’t matter if it’s pouring down with rain, even snowing, no need to walk off the pool job site.

This ensures you can build your job on time without any disruptions or additional labour costs.

5. Creates a reinforced concrete wall which does not need rendering. Thanks to our tiled block’s unique design.

Simply pump in wet concrete, even hand-fill the blocks with concrete.

It leaves a perfectly flat finish, ready for the finish 6. Can be built to any shape thanks to our flexi-block. it can be bent into shape with your bare hands. Curves will be precise, smooth and no need to render because there will be no sharp edges. Curved Walls, ponds and water features could not be any easier.

7. Easy to cut with a simple pass through with a jigsaw. No need for a diamond tip blade. Leaves no dust. Much cleaner workmanship.

8. No need for any special skills which means no need to hire skilled tradesmen. Anyone with basic DIY skills can easily assemble a Wall 9. Due to PROblocks size yet only weighing 3.5kgs each block it makes a hard job easier. It takes 6 concrete blocks, which weight 108kg to create the same area.

10. It’s light weight construction means you or your workforce are not getting injured with heavy lifting like you would from concrete blocks.

11. PROblocks allows Walls and water features to be built even in the hardest access areas.

12. Walls and water features built using the PROblock system result in the walls being reinforced concrete. Which we believe is the strongest option available.
