Including a cascade fountain or two on the wall is also a nice touch.
Building a retaining wall for a pool.
A pool retaining wall is a small wall that surrounds part of a pool.
On average pool owners who need a retaining wall will spend 7 000 20 000 on it.
An elevated patio is a great idea.
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.
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.
Basic steps for building a retaining wall come up with a design plan.
Some home owners incorporate a retaining wall into a water feature such as wall spouts or rock waterfalls but that s a topic for another day.
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.
The next step is to build the retaining walls that will enclose the pool on three sides.
Building the wall right on the edge of the pool itself is another option.
This should include at a minimum the height length and location of the wall the types of materials needed and the required tools.
