Abstract: An outdoor privacy wall that includes at least one self supporting panel mounted on multiple, spaced apart footings disposed in the ground. The panel features a rectangular shape and has opposing faces bounded by parallel upper and lower edges and a pair of parallel side edges connecting the upper and lower edges. At least one of the opposing faces includes a recessed region. A thick peripheral portion surrounds the recessed region and longitudinal reinforcing elements extend longitudinally through the thick peripheral region. A vertically oriented mold assembly is used to manufacture the panels.

Abstract: A precast stair system having releasably mounted steps is disclosed. The system includes first and second elongate, generally parallel stringer elements having respective inner surfaces that face each other and a plurality of individually precast steps that are precast independently of the stringer elements. Each step extends side to side from a first end that engages the inner surface of the first stringer element to an opposite second end that engages the inner surface of the second stringer element. The steps are juxtaposed in an ascending pattern along the stringer elements. Each step is releasably fastened to each stringer element. In particular, a first connector is formed through the inner surface of the first stringer element and through the first end of the step and a second connector is formed through the inner surface of the second stringer element and through the second end of the step.

Abstract: A precast stair system is disclosed, including a plurality of individually precast steps. Each step includes a tread portion and a riser portion that is integrally connected to the tread portion and extends generally downwardly therefrom. One or more elongate stringer elements are precast independently of the steps for supporting the steps and the steps are releasably fastened to each stringer element.
