Quick Garden Fish Pond Building Tips

Tip1 Edging a liner pond. Take care that the liner edge is turned up after laying the edging on top of it. In this way "leaks" due to siphoning effect can be eliminated. Do not leave the last part of the liner flat underneath the edge.

Tip 2 Filling a preformed pond for the first time. Backfill the hole around the pond with soil at the same rate that the water fills up in the pond.... this way you will get a good positioning of the pond against a firm backfill. Tamp the backfill to the best of your ability as the water fills the pond.

Tip 3 Deciding on a liner pond shape. Take a hose pipe and create various shapes until you feel happy. Simple shapes are best and more pleasing to the eye when finished. Irregular shapes with narrows and sharp edges are not good designs.
