Retaining Wall Cap block durability vs Regular Pavers?

[NJSwimmom]

Can anyone confirm if 2 inch concrete Wall cap block is any less durable (prone to snapping) than regular 2inch concrete pavers of the same dimension?

Tomorrow I’m installing the pavers to go under the metal support brackets for my new Intex Rectangular 24x12x52 pool (digging pavers level with the ground) I hastily bought a bunch of 2 inch thick concrete Retaining Wall Cap Blocks 12inx8in instead of Regular concrete Pavers. Got them from the local big box hardware store at a great price and there’s no customer reviews on this particular item. Hopefully I’ll get some feedback on here before I start digging tomorrow.

I'd take them back and get 4 inch pavers myself. That pools is heavy.

Yup 4" half cinderblocks are strong you want solid ones. The caps are ok but they do crack pretty easily if not solid umderneath
