These tutorials are exactly what I wanted. Never done one, but even I feel like I can do this! I have a small square garden and my idea is to have a pondless/rill/waterfall coming out from under a spillway attached underneath a floating seat placed along a fenced border between pleached trees. A flagstone paver will cross over it, leading to my deck and I’m toying with a fire pit to centrepiece it and serve the floating seat area, to offer a multi-use area. (I know, ambitious!) One of my main worries was the change of height to achieve the result I want. Your tutorials have helped me think about how this will all work in my small space. Wish you were closer to attend one of your courses. Northampton is too far from the South Coast.

I wish id known: Don't be too quick to trim the liner. Wait a week if you can. I wish i had of waited til it had rained once or twice. If you plant it, its much harder to pull it all out to fix it. Set each level with a stake or rock so you can get a level at each change in height.

I did have to rip my waterfall apart. It was full of leaks. Please tell people to never have a join in the liner. After spending a fortune on rubber liner. I wanted to cry. I just about have it finished again today. Still not perfect. Not enough water in the reservoir. ( a dust bin) so now I’m having to narrow the stream and make spillways more shallow. I ordered a ton of river pebbles. They are way too small. Slipping into the reservoir. Needed chunky stones. So if your ever doing ponds gone wrong in Ireland, you know where to visit.
@ThePondAdvisor
@ThePondAdvisor 4 года назад
This is one of the reasons I highly recommended purchasing the waterfall kits. River pebbles, you need about 30% of the rock you use. If your using a ton or so of rock then all you need is 300kg of gravel/pebbles

@anyat686 4 года назад
I didn’t have the money. But when I see all the money I’ve wasted on liner and foam, it would have been cheaper to get the kit. Warning to others. If your serious about doing this; save yourself heartache, get the kit ! Also buy the foam gun! 🤪

Hi Mark, is sandstone or gritstone bad for aquatic life. I have about 10 tonnes and am thinking of doing some kind of water feature but would like to have it flowing into a pool with fish in (i have a modern koi pond but want another natural looking feature).
@ThePondAdvisor
@ThePondAdvisor 4 года назад
Thomas Prendiville does the sand stone break down? Where did you get the stone from, has it been protected like in a wall or in the ground. If it’s old weathered stone it might be ok 👌🏻, you could always test a small feature way from the pool. The vinegar test is also another good one to use. Does the vinegar fizz if you put a little on the rock!

@@ThePondAdvisor there was a huge rockery at a house we bought and it was an eyesore so I ripped it out the house is 20 years old tbe the rockery is the stone left over from the build, i will try the (white?) Vinegar test and see what happens.
@ThePondAdvisor
@ThePondAdvisor 4 года назад
Yes, if it got any lime in the stone it will cause algae, if it’s been weathered you should be ok, but some sand and grit stones break down with the water, back into sand and grit

It’s easy to build a waterfall, it’s making it look good that’s the hardest part. It does take practice. I can’t wait to see your first water feature it’s going to be ten times better than my first feature. 5 months and counting for a 2020 waterfall build.

I knew about putting the underlay down before the liner but never heard about putting it on top of the liner. It's OK that it gets continuously wet? It's not going to rot and fall apart and ruin all the work you did building your water feature? I am just about to rebuild my pond and want to do it the right way but am a little worried that putting the underlay on top of the liner may cause problems in the years to come.

I'd love to know how you'd go about adding a waterfall to an existing (raised from the garden level, but shelved left and right) concrete pond. I was tempted just to lap some liner over the edge of one of the raised sides, but worried the water will work it's way back up under there. Would I have to make some sort of a concrete spillway, or would it be OK with just liner? I don't really want an overhanging blade type thing which I guess would be the easiest way to do it.

You have options, rubber is the only way in our rule book, you can overlap or use a termination bar.

In my garden we have a tiny preformed pond installed by the previous homeowner. It goes green every year as soon as the sun starts shining. I want to build a much larger and deeper pond but I'm worried about putting in a pond liner due to a medium poplar tree nearby. I think a preformed pond would be better but I don't want to be limited to shape and size. Do you prefer pond liners or preformed and is there any liners you'd recommend for best quality?
@ThePondAdvisor
@ThePondAdvisor 3 года назад
1mm EPDM (.45mil in the US) I would protect the liner above and below. I don’t like preformed for the same reason, plus they are hard to install in the ground. Fine on a patio but hard to dig in and back fill and compact the soil.
