Pond Construction Frame 04-05-10

skippys pond construction


EPDM 45mil rubber
10 and 20 foot wide   x   30'  +  long

frame in your pond with 2"x6" boards stood on end about 12 inches back from the lip and secured into the ground with 1/2 inch conduit pipes driven into the ground behind the boards, this makes a nice barrier where you can bring the liner up and over the boards where it can be secured by screwing a few slats of wood to the outside of the boards wedging the liner in-between. Also, a couple of other benefits of this design is that you create a under water shelf where you can put bog plants etc. and since the water when full, is actually higher than the surrounding ground by 4 to 6 inches it softens the sides of your pond and looks more natural.

1/4" layer of wet newspapers, it will stick to the side walls and will not blow around

pond  gallons by taking the length X width X average depth X 7.5. You noticed we said estimate and the reason is the average depth measurement.

GPH... Gallons Per Hour  =  pump water from one place to another, usually this is uphill. The head height is where the water ends up. The height the pump has to pump the water.
