I'd set the bottom drain and pipework in concrete personally so it won't shift. Don't forget to fill the pipe with water too so it doesn't float out of the concrete! I didn't know this trick when building mine and had to weight it down with stones - very awkward! :lol:

as Eds said,

but make sure you concrete the 4" pipe from the drain too, as the last thing you want is the pipe to break or leak.
