3Prepare
A solid foundation is necessary to prevent settling and tiling of each project. We recommend using a leveling pad, unless local building code requires you to pour a concrete foundation or build another type of foundation.
FOUNDATION:
• Choose the location for the completed project; place and mark the position of the base layer of blocks. Once marked, remove the blocks and the organic top soil within the marked area.
• If applicable to your area, create a leveling pad with a non-frost susceptible, well graded, compacted angular gravel-sand mixture with fines (GW as per ASTM D248). The leveling pad should be a minimum of 4 to 6 inches thick. For leveling pads greater than 8” thick, the fill material shall be placed in more than one lift. Each layer or lift of fill material shall be leveled and compacted to a 95% Standard Proctor density before moving on.
• Once the top layer of fill material is compacted and level, place the base layer of blocks. The base layer should sit 1 to 2 inches below grade to help further prevent shifting. Use additional fill material to level the base layer as needed.
* If a concrete slab is required, prepare a leveling pad using the procedures listed in the paragraphs above. The concrete Shall have a minimum compressive strength of 2500 psi. A 4-inch thick concrete slab should be more than sufficient. A thickened edge and reinforcement of the leveling slabs may be required. Please consult a professional engineer for specific requirements.

TOOL CHECK LIST These plans will walk you through each step as you Prepare, Assemble and Enjoy the new addition to your yard. Check out the Progress Bar at the bottom of each page to track your advancements as you complete each phase of your project!
INSTRUCTIONS:
• Please research and follow local building codes prior to the excavation, construc-tion and assembly of your project.
• Exercise caution when you work with Concrete Block designs. Wear pro-tective safety equipment such as safety glasses, dust masks, gloves and a hard hat.
• Whether you plan to build the project yourself or to hire a professional, every project requires a call to mark your utility lines.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN:
It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure compliance with all applicable laws, codes and regulations for any project. Proper safety precautions must be taken prior to and during the construction of each project. Please follow standard safety guidelines and wear necessary protective equipment when building and using your new backyard addition.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
ChiselStandard Hammer
This is an advanced to expert plan; cutting block will be necessary for assembly. A block fitter and circular saw with masonry cutting blade are ideal tools to work with. Necessary cuts will be called on the plans.

Follow suggestions on page 3 to build a proper foundation before starting your new project. If not already set, place the first level of block 1”- 2” below grade, level and fill in any gaps. Use Level 1 as a reference to place the blocks for all remaining levels.
Refer to the illustrations on the following pages to guide you through each step. Prior to adhering each level to the previously laid block, place the entire level of blocks and check to make sure it fits properly. Remove small sections at a time to place 1/4”-3/8” bead of adhesive.
Once all levels are complete, assemble and position the grill in the finished enclosure. Wait a minimum of two days before using the grill.

Level 5Fireplace Insert(1) 36” Stainless Steel Insert (51) Belgian Large Wall Blocks
Belgian Large Wall Block will need to be cut in order for the 1” pond tubing to run from the Pond Pump to the Spillway on level 13. The tubing will be run after the Pond Pump has been installed.
Wait for glue to fully dry before proceeding to the next steps. Refer to the label on your construction adhesive for dry times.
Build remaining layers around the 36” Stainless Steel Insert.

Level 6Pond Liner Installation(60) Belgian Large Wall Block(2) Pond liner
Center the Pond Liner above the basins, then conform the liners to fit the interior. Do not trim the extra liner until after there has been water added to the basin.
(2) Pond Pump
After placing the Pond Pump attach the pre screen filter to the pump.
Partially fill the basin with water, allowing for the pond liner to stretch and conform to the interior of the basin. Check to make sure the liner is holding water, then continue to fill the basin untill full.
Attach the 1” tubing to the pond pump. The tubing will need to extend to the spillway on level 13. For now run the tubing and the pump power cord through the chiseled groove into the back of the basins.
Once the basin has been filled trim the liner to 1½” from the outside edge of the Belgian Large Wall Blocks.
Glue sections of 4 or more Belgian Wall Blocks surrounding the basins togather. Do not glue blocks to the pond liner in case the liner ever has to be replaced.

Use and Maintenance
FOUNTAIN MAINTENANCE: • Make sure water remains clear of all debris and change filters
according to the package directions.
• Concrete blocks can be cleaned by wiping down with water or gently spraying with a hose.
• Make sure proper drainage is allowed at the base of the fireplace. Proper drainage gives water a way to escape so it doesn’t build up, seep through gaps or erode blocks.
FOUNTAIN USE:• Refer to the pond pump’s instructions manuals for use and cleaning tips
• Make sure that all electrical outlets and connections for the pump and spillway are safely installed in away from standing water
Fireplace Use:• When using your fireplace, always follow burning regulations in your
area, keep the area free from combustible material and never leave a fire unattended.
• Refer to the fireplace insert’s instruction manual for use and tips.
