Pool Kings Season 4 Episode 5 Wildebeest and Waterfalls

In Pool Kings, Season 1 season 4 episode 5 titled "Wildebeest and Waterfalls," a family in Texas seeks the expertise of the Lucas Lagoons crew to transform their ordinary backyard into a luxurious oasis. The homeowners are avid hunters and nature lovers, so they want their pool to be inspired by their love for the African savannah.

The Pool Kings team begins by designing a sprawling pool area with a waterfall, grotto, and beach entry. The focal point of the backyard is the 17-foot wide by 8-foot tall artificial rock formation that encases the slide and grotto. The slide starts from the top of the rock and curves around the grotto before ending in the 6-foot deep pool. A custom boulder-styled staircase leads to the beach entry, inviting guests to step into the pool without diving.

The waterfall is the centerpiece of the design and is made up of three cascading flows of water that start at the top of the rock formation. The crew adds a hidden jet feature into the waterfall to produce a rumbling sound, mimicking the sound of a real waterfall. The water flows down into a lower basin where it is pumped back up to the top of the rock, creating a stunning visual display.

To complete the African savannah theme, the crew adds several boulders and rocks throughout the pool area to add texture and a natural feel. They also add an artificial tree, made of metal and concrete, that stands 15-feet tall and serves as a shade structure for the seating area.

The project is not without its challenges. The ground in Texas is dry and hard, making it difficult to excavate and shape the pool area. The team must use heavy equipment, including a mini-excavator and front-end loader, to dig out the area for the pool. They also encounter a few rainstorms that cause delays, but ultimately the team is able to complete the project on time.

The final result is a stunning African savannah-inspired pool that seamlessly blends into the surrounding landscape. The family is thrilled with the outcome and cannot wait to host their next pool party. With its rock formations, waterfalls, and beach entry, the pool is a luxurious retreat for the whole family to enjoy.
