1. Outline the border of your walkway or patio to assure an accurate and straight installation. Evenly layer a crushed rock base, compact it, and level it beyond the outline of the installation.

2. After the pavers have been set in place within the design, position the paver restraints along the outside perimeter of the installation. Make sure to set the restraints low enough, so that the soldier course is level with the rest of the brick.

3. Measure the final row of pavers before securing the paver restraints with Oly-Ola’s 9” non-bending, steel anchoring stakes. Stake the restraint every two feet at minimum, using extra stakes when securing joints and curves. Do not make the mistake of using too few stakes, especially when the ground is exposed to cold temperatures.

4. Install the final row of pavers on top of the horizontal leg of the secured paver restraint. The restraint may also be installed up against the paver, with the horizontal leg on the outside, if the installation requires it.

5. Paver restraints hold the pavers permanently in place, keeping the pavers from shifting. When properly installed, the restraint should be only slightly visible or not visible at all.



INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Paver Restraint: Install the bricks or pavers according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. If installing underneath the pavers, measure the final row of pavers before securing the paver restraint. When installing outside the pavers, simply butt the restraint up against the pavers. Once in place, secure the restraint with steel stakes.
Staking: Secure the restraint by staking it every 2 feet at minimum through the holes provided on the horizontal leg. When installing the restraint outside of the pavers, pound the stake at a 45 degree angle toward the pavers. When installing the restraint underneath the pavers, stake at a 90 degree angle until the top of stake is flush with the horizontal leg. Use extra stakes when securing joints and curves. Do not make the mistake of using too few stakes, especially when the ground is exposed to cold temperatures.
