We are building raised veggie beds with the same stone - good to see we could make a pond with the same stuff as well. Not sure if we want fish - though I definitely want to be able to grow some water-based foods like water chestnuts and taro. What were the steps to create the pond once you build the wall structure? After 4 years - we're in! Re: Ponds 14Mar 04, 2008 8:45 pm stonecutter1309 martyme - I love the look of yours!

These are the steps that I took when building the pond:- 1. Levelled base using packed sand. 2. Positioned Fibreglass Pond 3. Positioned Pagoda feature 4. Installed Pump & lights 5. Built wall around Fibreglass pond SIMPLE!! Re: Ponds 15Mar 04, 2008 9:06 pm I'm just reporting a little housekeeping on this thread - a few unnecessary posts have been cleared away.
I recall about 25 years back, a little boy - around 2 years old - had fallen / stepped into a pond at a family friend's place. Luckily, the kid survived after his brother dragged him out. EDIT: Now, when you say wall, are you referring to safety fencing? Re: Ponds 16Mar 05, 2008 7:40 am Ah - fibreglass pond inside! I was thinking that you put some sort of liner in it - nice work.
As for fencing - if a pond is only about 50cm deep - I don't see why you should bother. After 4 years - we're in!

Not sure of legalities but if you or your family/friends have little children I would do so - toddlers can drown in few cm of water and can do so silently. My parents had a friend whose son aged 4 drowned in a wading pool with several adults in the back yard at the time, 10 m away having coffee on the patio and no-one heard a thing. |
