| Half Man | 10 - 60 pounds | 4 - 12" |

Size Recommendations
The following are general recommendations only and may not be applicable for all sites. Consult a professional regarding your site design to ensure project success.
- Half-Man: Used on walls under 16" high & used as caps to top off walls.
- One-Man: Used for rock walls from 16" to 3'. This is the most popular size.
- Two-Man: Used for walls from 3' to 6'. You will need a small backhoe or bobcat to place these.
- Three-Man: Used for bulkheads or walls over 6' high. You will need heavy equipment on site to place these.
