First time pond build
|
Can't Post
|
|
Hi, I am currently in the process of digging out my new pond
The size will be 12' x 7' and approx 6' deep in the middle.
The old greenhouse has gone so I have decided to use the space because it saved on the digging a bit and removing the old bricks. The pond will be raised slightly above the garden level 10"-16"
I was going to use a pvc liner as I am on a budget with this project. But after reading up a bit I am now going to use a butyl rubber liner.
I will be installing a pump and filter system that suits the size of the pond.
Need some advice on the pump & filter system.
After further reading I decided to add a bottom drain. This is where I am not sure about the best way of piping out the water?
A waterfall of some type will also be installed.
Is there a way to design the waterfall to assist in the cleaning of the water?
ie. gravel or reed bed etc.
I will post up pictures as I progress with this project
If anyone can give me any tips I will be grateful
