3.3.3 Building the retaining walls
Once the base slab can be walked on, the two side
retaining walls should be built. Fill each row of hollow
blocks with concrete (C16/20) and reinforce both
vertically and horizontally with construction steel
rebars (8 mm diam.). While bricklaying, avoid shifting
the joints or disturbing the verticals and straight lines
or the precise parallel orientation of the two retaining
walls.
The retaining wall height depends on the swimming
pool height – see the sketches.
For a safe fastening of the steel wall to the retaining
wall, best make the top 1 to 2 rows by using full
blocks, such as bricks, because (as experience
shows) such blocks will hold the installation screws
better than hollow bocks do. If fastening into filled
hollow blocks is planned, best use very long screws
that will reach the concrete core.
Warning: Consult a civil engineer-
specialist. Mountfield will take no
responsibility for installation errors or
damage resulting from a poorly
constructed retaining wall!

Warning: Respect the concrete setting
time (typically 28 days). Only a civil
engineer-specialist may decide (on
his/her own responsibility) that this time
can be shortened .
The wall height (measured from the top edge of the
base slab) must NOT exceed 115 cm / 145 cm for
swimming pool height 120 cm / 150 cm, respectively,
or the top edge trim cannot be installed properly.
