how to build raised Pond?
I have a fish pond irregular, but I do not want to install it on the floor. I was thinking of installing near my front door and make a water garden with water fountain. But I can not understand how? So please someone can give me some ideas. Thank you.
Add a large pond to your patio or deck. To build a pond raised the need to construct a level concrete base. Tools and materials you'll need for the base of the pond raised: – wooden stakes. string Constructors. Spade Spirit level and straight edge and a shovel. 12 "(30cm) wide layers shuttering. Hardcore. The sand and gravel or ballast. Cement. Ram (a length of scaffolding board is) ideal. polyethylene sheet. To build the base, mark the shape and size using wooden stakes and string line. excavate the site to a depth of 12 "(30cm). Fit a shuttering stabilized around the sides of the excavation with 12" (15cm) formwork long range fixed blade with stakes. Lay 6 "(15cm) of well compacted hard core. Finish the base, laying concrete at the top of the stabilized formwork and tamp it down. Cover with polythene sheeting and left for two or three days, then uncover and leave to dry. Construction of a large pond, with an overlay preformed fiberglass. Build a wooden frame to support the preformed liner. This is to keep the line level during the installation. Lay 4 "(10 cm) sand at the base to act as a buffer between the foundation and molded concrete lining. Place tiles and under the cushion of sand and ensure the level and shirt is well supported by the wooden frame. Build a box around the shirt, leaving enough space between the box and the top of the shirt so that it can be filled with the ground. Brick, stone, concrete blocks or wood paneling are provided the right materials to use for this building. When boxing is dry, fill the pond with water to a depth of 6 "(15cm). Fill in the box around the liner with soil and tamp sifted carefully taking care not to damage the coating. When soil and water are about the same level, add another 6 "(15cm) of water to the pond, followed by further compressing the soil in the box. Repeat this process until the pond is filled and the soil is just below the rim of the lagoon. The pond can end up adding a coping at the top of the box that overlaps and conceals lining the edge of the preform. Construction of a large pond with bricks or blocks. At the grassroots level, build the walls of the pool to pond needed. Use a double row of brick or block work, so that the walls are 9 "(22.5 cm) thick. When the pond walls have dried up, with 4 parts sand to 1 part cement, fermentation chamber containing water, apply a 0.5 "(1.5 cm) thick coat to provide internal and external sides of the pond. Leave dry. Finish the pond by the beds copping stones at the top of the walls and applying a sealer or pond paint all surfaces. A word of caution in this design pond raised. The increased pressure in any design of pond is where the parties to comply with the pond bottom. This design of the pond raised is not to deep ponds. If the pond is over 18 "(45cm) deep is recommended to reinforce the relationship between the sides and base.
