Sleeper Pond with Window (Part 22) Rebar is going in 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 The correct version 😂 

Cheers Marek and yeh I think I'm pretty confident 😎

🤣🤣🤣🙈🙈🙈 that made me chuckle cheers bud 👍

@Keeping it Koi 😊👍🏻

Hard work but yes really satisfying 😌

Was thinking the same thing 🤣👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

You are probably right but that blade cut all 15 rebar at 12mm thick and still looks brand new so It did the job 👍

Cheers bud yeh it can be a pain but there all in now 👍

Cheers bud 👍 yeh I'm pretty confident 😉 least it was the right video this time 🤣🤣

Oh yes I'm pretty confident it's not going anywhere 👍 and thanks can't believe how quickly the channel has grow

Cheers bud yeh I'm pretty confident 👍 👌

Always a bonus but it was cheaper to cut them myself and I'm way over budget so I went with the cheap option 🤣

@@keepingitkoi oh really? When I looked for mine it was only something like £5 more than the long ones (by the metre)

@@LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection possibly but £5 extra is still more when I have the tools to cut them myself any way plus I have a little project im gunna do with the off cuts 🤣

@@keepingitkoi that's cool. Looking forward to that 😃

Thanks Paul appreciate that 👍 🙏

Thanks bud 👍

Thanks bud 👍

@@martynskoipondandgarden4581 🤣🤣🤣 yeh 🤣🤣🤣 just watching yours now bud you must be well chuffed 👍

Thanks 😊 It's 12mm rebar and I used a 12mm auger bit 👍

Thanks bud yeh the combi disc was the only one I had at the time but it did the job and its been up and holding for well over a year now and still doing well 😊👍

@Keeping it Koi I got caught short last month and had to use a dimond disk lol. Thankfully it was a cheeper disk and not much of a loss using it. Note to self now. Alwaus have a pack of slicing disk and flapper disks nesr the welder lol

@Lyons Cultivars 🤣🤣 yeh defo mate I could of nipped out and got some just couldn't be bothered it did the job 🤣👍

Thanks bud 👍 and your right there mate it's been up and running now all summer and hasn't even creaked let alone moved 👍

With your pond bud because of how small it is and the fact that you have dug down a couple of feet I would say your fine 👍 the strongest outward pressure is at the bottom of the pond not the top and being a relatively small koi pond there won't be that much pressure. I know everyone worries but when you think these free standing fiberglass ponds or even the Intex swimming pools there only held together by there plastic liners that are glued and stitched together and they last years even the really big ones. the only reason for rebar is to keep all the sleepers in the exact same position they started in and you have used a fair few screws and if there at least 8mm thick I really think you'll be fine I would recommend though better stronger corner brackets wickes do really good ones for less than £2 each real heavy duty👍 I would also look into better filtration as well as that box your building to sit above your pond is not ideal for koi unless your only looking at 1 or 2 fish 👍 maybe an easy pod or something like that bud 👍

It was a 12mm hole for 12mm rebar as is didn't want any movement in them once it was in and remember as the wood dries out more it shrinks and contracts so the hole will probably get bigger as it dries out 👍😊 hope that helped 👍

It was actually a universal disk but thanks 😊

Thanks for your question It was 12mm bit and 12mm rebar bud 👍

I got them on ebay about 3 years ago they are a 600mm auger bit 👍😊

@@keepingitkoi Very kind of you, thanks.

@PaddyDixieTheMinerva82 no worries 👍 😊

Mine are just sat on top of the concrete I did contemplate that my self but I decided not to as the would will move and the concrete won't so I decided not to as I thought it might crack or damage the concrete hope that helps 👍

Sorry only just saw your reply, I'm happy to do the same, just lay the sleepers onto the concrete and rebar the sleepers together. Have you had any problems doing it like this? Your videos are really helpful, I'm basing my new pond build around yours with slight changes

@@macauleybowen2895 nope it's been faultless not even a creak from the wood 👍 and glad my videos are helping many people have copied this idea and I'm so glad I could help so many people 😊

it was a 600mm by 12mm auger bit to drill the hole and a 12mm rebar 👍🏻 hope that helps top tip wait till the sleepers are dry doing when damp is much harder 👍🏻

Thank you for the help 👍

Yeh I did get 1 blister and a load more calasts on me hands 🤣 and yeh I'm pretty confident it's not budging 👍

No it's 13ft 10" × 7ft 11" So 4.2m by 2.4m 👍
