Setting River Rock by Hand – Slope Adjustment for a Proper Drain
In this video, you’ll notice that the river rock hasn’t been grouted yet—we're still in the process of setting each stone by hand in the shower pan area. This step takes time, especially with real river rock, due to the natural irregularities in size and shape. We also had to float over the factory slope of the Wedi foam pan to increase the pitch. This is a crucial adjustment when working with stone like this, as the uneven surface demands a steeper slope to ensure proper drainage and prevent water retention.
