I've designed and built two natural ponds. Now weve moved and I want another pond, unfortunately, I am now older with a medical conditions that will prevent me from digging or placing rockscape...Looks like my next pond is going to have to be a professional job! Good job on your pond, and video!
I like your video buddy I learned from it thank you for sharing your mistakes I like the end result and I'm going to ask you a question what should I charge to make to build a pond
They like the pond and people like watching fish eat do daily feedings and keep the pond regulated brother maybe at some point build another pond or go fishing sometimes or a few inside aquariums so keep the channel with more verity but you could have built a real fan base from the pond video bro please come back
Just a couple of thoughts,usually you dont want water that close to your house as it will overflow and cause rising damp,also in Australia atleast you need a fence around it just like a pool if you go to deep,thats all,nice vid
I just started out with fish and a 65 gallon glass tank, goldfish and a koi goldfish. Goldfish are nasty and need a lot of water filtration good rule of thumb for a fishtail is with your pump system pump 4× the amount of water every hour. Example 65 gallon tank 260 gallons an hour filtered water. And no people I'm no expert I've only had this tank running less then a yr...just curious could aircrere be incorporated into this kind of project? All it is is concrete, air and dish soap just a thought
Try renting a jackhammer with a flat shovel connector. Given your clay and decomposed granite ground, you could have eliminated a lot of back-breaking work.
Thank you for recording all the memories, Justin. We miss you and I’ll forever cherish this video and the memories we made. We’ll see you again brother.
That is what the professionals do they make it, fill it, then pump it out. It’s almost impossible when working around the dirt is not to get dirt in it. Those bottom filters stick they clog too easily it’s a pain to have to pull it out to clean. It’s better to have an outside of the pond filter and just have your pump in the pond.
Here's a good example of the small ledge I mentioned in the previous comment I left. This guy's entire channel is building wildlife ponds that don't need expensive filtration systems ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lKrjMv6TMlU.html
Is it really necessary to have a liner? I was going to try and build a channel out of polymeric cement leading up to my pond. I'm on a tight budget, but I don't want to do it twice.
Nice 1st attempt. Just some recommendations. After digging your hole tamp the bottom and sides so they are firm. Then spread about a half inch of sand in the bottom. Then place your liner and then wash your gravel of choice and spread it along the bottom.
I'd recommend filling the water first before rocks...because the water will pull the liner and conforms to the shape...this way it won't pull or over stretch the liner
