How hard is it to build a pond?
Of course, the work begins with digging your hole, and this can often prove the most gruelling task. Once this is completed, it is then important to find a manufacturer who can supply pond liners to fit to size.
One of the most crucial factors in building a pond is making sure that any sharp surfaces are removed prior to lining the area. Although sealing kits can be purchased in the event of a tear, avoiding the problem initially will result in less maintenance.
Installing valves, flanges and pond hosing can also be difficult if you’re looking to create a water feature, with electrical boxes further adding to the complications. It is therefore essential to invest in quality equipment, to ensure that the building process runs smoothly.
Ponds are generally constructed with a reinforced concrete base and with reinforced concrete block walls, and is rendered / plastered to provide a flat surface for the fibreglass to be laminated onto. The vertical and horizontal corners in the pond require a slight radius so that the fibreglass sits properly, and the surfaces should be free from sharp points as this will make it more difficult to lay the fibreglass matting onto the walls and base.
Before commencing any fibreglass pond repair or construction the weather must be taken into consideration. Work should be carried out during mild, dry conditions. The optimum temperature for any fibreglass work is 17°C. When all the structural work is complete, the plaster must be left to dry out thoroughly. Leave a dry section for access in and out of the pond, finish this area last. Start by laminating the walls coming down approximately 100mm onto floor space, while the walls are curing finish with the floor.
