Whether your project calls for seat walls, pillars, fire features, steps, water features, engineered retaining walls or more, U-Cara can do the job. It can even be used to clad existing vertical structures by using the U-Cara Wall Mount System.
U-Cara is an engineered wall system comprised of structural backer blocks and decorative fascia panels, offering endless design options along with practical features that make installation easy, fast, and secure. Easily build single-sided walls up to 10 feet (3m) high or small double-sided walls.
For fast and easy vertical features, consider using the U-Cara Modular System. This aluminum backer framing system enables you to construct complete outdoor kitchens in hours not days, making your project more profitable while saving your customer money at the same time.
Many hardscape projects require vertical features that have a structural requirement such as retaining walls, raised patios, and planters. U-Cara SureTrack® Backer Blocks offer up that structural component while maintaining complete design flexibility with the placement of fascia panels in a variety of arrangements and combinations.
U-Cara Retaining Wall VideoU-Cara Modular Units are a brilliant complement to the U-Cara System. These aluminum framed cabinets offer up both a labor-saving and time-saving solution for constructing a variety of outdoor living features, such as grill islands, bars, and columns. What usually would take 2 days to build, can now be constructed in only a few hours. The fact that these are aluminum makes them rust-free and light enough to easily carry into difficult access locations
The U-Cara Wall Mount System allows for the cladding of concrete foundation walls, existing poured-in-place retaining walls as well as cladding wooden structures such as deck skirts, cabanas, and tools sheds. The simplicity of this 3 part system allows for rapid installation practically anywhere in your project to complete a cohesive design with the other U-Cara walls and vertical modules on site.

U-Cara is a retaining wall platform which provides for incredible design flexibility and can be used to construct anything from small garden walls to large retaining walls. The backbone of the wall is the backer block and the appearance is created by hanging beautiful fascia panels on the backers.
Applications – Design and build projects such as planters, steps, grill islands, pillars, seat walls, water features and structural walls reinforced with GeoGrid. U-Cara is designed mostly for straight walls, but low curved planters can be made if needed.
Capacity – Gravity walls up to 39” (1m). Geogrid reinforced walls up to 10 ft. (3m). Download the U-Cara manual for detailed information on how to build almost anything. Installation Manual - English (PDF)
Recommended Base Stabilization – one layer of DriveGrid™ stabilization grid between subgrade and base material. Use under Standard Base or Permeable Base.
Standard Base – Min. 6” – 8” of ¾” Crusher Run gravel (any road base standard in accordance with ASTM-D2940) compacted to 98% Standard Proctor Density (SPD).
Alternative Permeable Base – Min. 6” – 8” of ¾“ clear open-graded stone compacted to achieve full particle lock-up and consolidation. (Clear open-graded does not compact but does consolidate slightly by rattling the particles together.)
Leveling – U-Cara MUST be constructed on U-Grip™ Base units or universal base pads. It will ensure improved accuracy and will make for a speedier installation. Additional benefits include long term structural integrity and an overall better appearance. Poured concrete leveling pads, reinforced with rebar, are also a great way to accomplish leveling, especially for larger installations. You must ensure that the concrete is poured and finished perfectly in order to achieve a good visual appearance.
Connection – features a tongue and groove connection. Use appropriate concrete adhesive for connection between standard backer units or where the key has been removed for corners. Always read adhesive manufacturers’ directions prior to gluing.
Handling – Handle faces with care to avoid chipping edges.
Coping - This wall requires coping. Choose a manufactured coping such as Unilock Universal Coping or any of our natural stone coping options. Install with tight joints or 3/16” gap between units and amend with an exterior latex caulking. Cutting may be required; a diamond blade saw is required to cut coping properly. Glue all coping using a specially formulated concrete adhesive that is strong and will not break down over time. Always read adhesive manufacturers’ directions prior to gluing.
