This made such a big difference in our backyard and hid the bulky equipment from the pool area’s view for under $170. TA-DA! You now have a Breeze Block Feature Wall! Again, I chose to keep this as a half wall and only have do one wall on the pool side of our equipment to allow for our pool maintenance company’s easy access. Using LOCTITE Landscape Construction Adhesive, apply a generous amount to each block and stack them, starting with the first row and making your way up. This step covers the “gluing” of blocks to one another. If you plan to build your wall on a pre-existing slab of concrete that is nice and level already (ie driveway, AC platform, pool deck etc) you can skip this step! Step 5: Stack Your Breeze Blocks Using Landscape Construction Adhesive This is where that “optional” level comes in handy:) If you level the concrete base blocks, you can easily start stacking and know you’re breeze blocks will line up perfectly. In my case, since I was laying the blocks on artificial turf, I wanted the 16x8in concrete blocks to serve as a platform so my breeze blocks could stack nice and and level. This step is somewhat optional depending on the surface you are building your wall on. I laid out a tarp and spray painted them using Rust-Oleum 2X Ultra Cover Paint & Primer and ended up only needing 2 cans. Step 3: Paint Your Concrete Breeze BlocksĪt this point, you know how many blocks you’re working with and can start painting! They come unpainted, in a off-white concrete and I wanted to make them a clean, bright white. I laid out my plan and knew I would be using 15 breeze blocks in total. While my goal wasn’t to completely block off our pool equipment (I knew our pool maintenance service would need easy access) I wanted to create a half wall on our pool’s side that would at least draw your eyes attention away from the bulky pool pumps.

We ended up purchasing a whole pallet (I had aggressive plans with these bad boys) and they lifted them into our truck for us.Īt this point, I laid out my breeze blocks so I knew exactly how high and how long a wall I wanted to make. They have a great selection and cost $7-10 each. I chose to buy mine local at Carroll’s Building Materials in St Petersburg. These can be found online in a variety of designs and patterns. Step 1 is to purchase your breeze blocks.

I realize for some detail oriented readers using a level may not seem optional, but after I looked around the garage for mine for 10 minutes with no luck, I quickly resorted to “eyeballing it” 🙂.

No power tools, No tape measurer, No wandering the aisles at the hardware store. I treat my DIYs like recipes… I enjoy them most when they are 2-3 ingredients and don’t require too much patience:) This easy project requires 3 things and VERY little time as the whole thing can be finished in about 30 minutes. Fast forward and you find yourself stuck in Aisle 3 while your patience and motivation to even do the project dwindles. That’s it, I promise! Have you ever clicked on a DIY and scrolled your way through to find that the supply list is upwards of 10+ things that require purchasing tools and a trip to Home Depot. First and most importantly, this DIY takes the top of the easy list! You will need 3 things for this.
