Axis
A vertical retaining wall that maximises usable space.
Frost Resistant
Maximise Space. Simplify Construction
Axis is an innovative, lightweight retaining wall solution engineered for strength, sustainability and simplicity in construction.
Its mortarless dry-build construction combines a distinctive Stone Cut finish with an optimised vertical face, providing a practical and attractive solution for a wide range of applications.
Designed for reinforced walls up to 2.5 metres high, the no-batter system maximises usable land by eliminating the space normally lost to a sloping wall face. This makes Axis particularly suitable for split-level sites, residential developments, boundaries and compact installations where space is at a premium. The vertical face also creates an anti-climb profile, helping to improve safety.
Axis requires no mortar or connecting pins, allowing for fast-track installation in a wide range of weather conditions and providing a quicker alternative to traditional brick and blockwork. The lightweight units are easier to handle, helping to reduce installation time and effort while keeping projects on schedule.
Large thru-cores align vertically from course to course, allowing for straightforward filling and the integration of suitable light fencing. Subject to project design, fence posts can be installed through up to five courses.
AG also offer three levels of support to suit every stage of your retaining wall project: our Free Online Estimator, AnchorWall® Software and Retaining Wall Design Service.
