When reviewing retaining wall designs for swimming pools consider plans where the wall is more than just a wall.
Building a retaining wall for a pool.
Including a cascade fountain or two on the wall is also a nice touch.
Basic steps for building a retaining wall come up with a design plan.
This should include at a minimum the height length and location of the wall the types of materials needed and the required tools.
On the other hand if you decide to adjust the patio and fill dirt on a slight slope instead of building a whole wall that costs 1 000 4 000.
The walls are built using hollow concrete blocks which will be filled with concrete per the design discussed in a previous post.
The wall serves as a barrier around the pool as well as housing for additional features such as waterfalls these walls can range in height dramatically from one to several feet.
A pool retaining wall is a small wall that surrounds part of a pool.
Building the wall right on the edge of the pool itself is another option.
Sometimes a retaining wall is used to add more room for the pool by cutting into a small hillside or to allow for perimeter space all the way around the pool.
On average pool owners who need a retaining wall will spend 7 000 20 000 on it.
The next step is to build the retaining walls that will enclose the pool on three sides.
