What happens here

This step shows the physical implementation of the faux pool spillover by integrating multiple pre-fabricated waterfall spillways into a newly constructed masonry retaining wall. The narrator points to these metal "spouts" embedded within the blockwork, explaining that water will be pumped from an underground basin through these outlets. The spillways are precisely positioned to deliver a smooth sheet of water, contributing to the illusion that the water originates from the elevated pool. Flexible conduits or pipes are visible at the base of the wall, indicating the plumbing connections required for the self-contained pumping system that will circulate the water.

Goal: Physically install the water outlets into the retaining wall structure.

Tools and materials

  • Flexible Conduits/Piping N/A — Connecting the spillways to the underground pumping system
  • Level N/A — Ensuring the spillways are installed perfectly horizontally
  • Masonry Retaining Wall Blocks N/A — Constructing the wall that houses the spillways
  • Masonry tools N/A — For building the retaining wall and integrating the spillways (implied, not explicitly shown in use)
  • Waterfall Spillways N/A — The pre-fabricated units from which the water will flow. The video shows several installed
  • Mortar or Masonry Adhesive N/A — Securing the retaining wall blocks and potentially bedding the spillways (implied)
