Installing Your Image

Your Image is made of stone and will last a life time. However it is a fragile until it is installed. So be gentle, handle with care and never force a piece in. your Image may have 100's of individually cut pieces, but the Image is packaged in a way that that allows for fast convenient installation, using our "One Shot Quick Install" process.

Once you have chosen the area in which you would like your Image, make sure that the ground preparation is complete (Bring the ground base to Interlocking brick installation specifications).

Installation Steps

1. Bring the packaged Image close to the site.
2. Measure to ensure sufficient room and to find exact location.
3. With an exacto knife cut the straps marked #1.
4. Carefully lift up the Image from the pallet by the wooden frame. Place it as close as possible to where you want it. The nylon cloth which stays under the Image will allow for gentle adjusting. (The Image will weight between 100 to 400 lbs., 30 lbs. Per square foot.)
5. With an exacto knife cut straps #2.
6. Pull straps #2 from under the Image.
7. With an exacto knife cut along the dotted line marked #3 completely around the Image.
8. Loosen screws and gently lift the wooden frame from around the Image.
9. Cut excessive cloth away if needed.
10. With a strong straight edge, gently slide(adjust) the Image into the exact location.
11. Lay the remaining bricks/pavers up to the Image and cut the bricks/pavers where necessary.
12. Sweep a fine dry sand into the cracks/joints. Very gently tap the pieces of the Image with a rubber hammer so that the sand falls into place. Then rinse. With larger Images you may want to place plywood over the Image and use a tapper/vibrator.

Shipping/Installation Problem Remedies

When a paver/bricker is cut to a very fine piece it is very fragile until installed. What sometimes happens is a piece may break or chip. In most cases the sand that is swept into to joints will hide any minor imperfections. If a broken piece is more predominant, simply take out the broken piece, hold the two pieces together where the crack is and run it through your diamond saw creating a new cut line. Then place the two new pieces back in the Image and sweep sand in.
