Note: A significant amount of your time installing a VERSA-LOK wall will be spent on the leveling pad and the base course. If the wall base is level and properly aligned, the rest of the installation will go much more smoothly. Take your time on these critical steps.

With the leveling pad installed and level, you can start the base course. The first step is to carefully plan the location and alignment of the wall base.

Place alignment guides along the planned backs of the units, which are smooth and consistent, rather than the irregular, split-front faces. For straight walls, pull a stringline just slightly behind (about 1/8 inch) the planned back of the units. This keeps base units from contacting the stringline and possibly pushing it out of alignment.
