Thank you!!! I really enjoyed your video, I currently have a pre-formed pond but Iam in the process of changing my pond to a larger one approx 6000 gal, I found the info very helpfull and got lots of tips from it. I will look at your website to help me with my project.
Thanks for sharing this :-)
I have 2 questions on the flagstones on the inside of the pond above the water:
* Assuming mortar is used to adhere the flagstones to the wall, how do you seal the grout joints so rainwater running on the wall does not wash contaminants into the pond water?
* Assuming a liner (sprayed or just draped over) is used, how do you prevent it from peeling off at the top, near the flagstones. Is it secured under the flagstones?
Thanks a ton.
