Damn you don’t mess around. That’s a giant beach

@IndyFarmLife 2 года назад

Haha. Half-assery is a children's game!

@peden33 2 года назад

Back in the day, I saw people at the lake put their beach in over the winter. They spread the sand over the ice and as the ice thawed the sand dropped. Enjoy your new beach

@IndyFarmLife 2 года назад

That's a good idea! In my case, the ice never seems to get thick enough to even walk on it!

@petenelson8136 2 года назад

Your going to have a sweet beach for the family and friends to enjoy the pond. Very nicely done.

@IndyFarmLife 2 года назад

Thanks Pete. We have really enjoyed it so far.

@charleshorseman55 2 года назад

I would consider placing those cinder blocks up from your beach so that water runoff doesn't just wash that beach down into the pond and can divert it outside the beach. maybe even dig a ditch under the tarp at the top to stack sand onto to hold the tarp in place. I've built several beaches and it's always the same. Just thinking out loud.

@IndyFarmLife 2 года назад

Check my later video on this. I think I may have already done what you said? Or maybe you meant between the "dry" sand and the water? I wouldn't want a trip hazard. I do need a lot more sand in the pond itself anyways. It's a little thin right now. I left it that way intentionally.

@charleshorseman55 2 года назад

@@IndyFarmLife Yep, you're right. The backstop would be to keep water runoff from eroding the beach, the ditch idea is just to secure (lock) the tarp down. That 3 point canopy is pretty cool!

Hope it all stays where you want it. 🙏

Fingers crossed!

good job nice farm brother have a nice day

@IndyFarmLife 2 года назад

Thanks, you too!

I’d be worried about the tarps breaking up and causing a mess??? But a great weed barrier in the time being.

@IndyFarmLife 2 месяца назад

I suppose that could be an issue long term, however if you are new to the channel, you will learn that I'm a belt and suspenders type of guy. It averages about 8" to 10" of depth now and I'm sure I'll keep piling it on. Will probably never see those tarps again. Ha

@Darien04 2 месяца назад

Could use a rubber liner to last longer

@BMattWill 3 месяца назад

I'm late to the game, but what if you added a French drain before the sand? Have the runoff go into the pond from the side to reduced erosion.

@HTPJohn 2 года назад

Maybe the best, certainly the funniest video of yours to date. Seeing you carrying cinder blocks out into the pond neck-deep is classic stuff. I was trying to do the math on those piles of sand - max load for a tri-ax dump truck on Indiana roads is something around 21,000 lbs, right? So were those piles (six I think I counted) from a tri-ax? Sand is heavy, yo. Fun stuff. -John

@IndyFarmLife 2 года назад

haha yea, it was all fun and games until I walked too far and had to try to swim with two cinder blocks so I didn't lose them further down in the pond. ha I'm not sure what total GVWR is, but I can tell you that when I get the tickets from my drivers, they are often between 20 and 22 tons. So 44k lbs. The company I often buy from has an aluminum bed quad axle. It's an awesome truck. It is the one that gets to 22 ton. That lighter bed helps bump up capacity.

@HTPJohn 2 года назад

@@IndyFarmLife Yea, I didn't remember what the number was exactly, but 22 stuck in my head. Tons, not pounds. lol.😆

Putting sand on a tarp seems like a future disaster. The sand will erode away in a hard rain, leaving gullies. Usually the sand is put over rock with very little slope to avoid erosion. Weeds also thrive when a non-permeable barrier is used. Of course the closest thing I have to a pond here is a plastic tub with nasty duck water. There used to be a public beach at Tropical Park here and they maintained it with an atv pulling a rake. Sand had to be constantly brought in to manage erosion. Out hot climate and amoebas made the beach too risky to use. Nice work for doing it all by yourself, do you ever get any help?

@IndyFarmLife 2 года назад

Could be, we shall seem. I'm not as worried about the erosion as perhaps your comment about weeds. I guess that will just give me something to do with the tractor, ha Rake the sand.
