Decorative Pond In The Garden Area

When constructing an artificial reservoir, it is necessary to begin by determining its location and shape. In most situations, the pond is given the correct geometric lines. It can be round, oval or square. Choosing a place, you need to find a site that did not have a fully open area, and also lacked a large number of green spaces. It is necessary to avoid sudden changes in the relief.
When approaching the pond, it is necessary to provide for what purpose you will use it. If it begins to perform an exclusively decorative role, and fish will not be introduced there, it is necessary to take into account the depth of freezing of water. It is approximately 80-100 cm. This is why the fish pond should have a depth of about 2 meters in 30% of its area. In other situations, deep ponds can not be digged. They should have a depth of about 80 cm. The reason is that a large amount of water will adversely affect the film, and that due to high pressure will be torn.
The bottom of the pond should not be sharp. It is better to make it stepped, because with this arrangement the water pressure will be distributed more evenly. This will also be a step towards preserving the integrity of the film. Creating a decorative pond, you should take into account several grooves 15-20 cm along its edges. They will help to attach the insulating film material more firmly.
The next step is laying the film. It should firmly cover the entire bottom of the artificial pond. If the material is not enough in width, then use a special adhesive for fixing. Attach the film canvas to the shore in two ways: you can either lay it with stones or bury it. At this stage it will be necessary to create an angular coupling. It is she who will control the process of draining the water from the pond. Then, the cleaning devices and the pump are connected to fill with water.
At this stage, the most difficult moment of construction is coming to an end. After all the necessary equipment is already installed, it is necessary to proceed to the water pouring. An integral part will be plants for the pond. In the design of the pond, several types of plants are used: water, shallow, marsh, and garden zones. They can be planted in autumn or spring, as this is the optimal season for planting. Further decorative decoration is a matter of your imagination. It is possible to use all that is found on the site from large cobblestones to unnecessary iron products. Also, the pond is decorated with lighting, the backlight is multi-colored and works in different lighting modes (controlled by the control panel). It is not rare in the pond to arrange fountains or cascading waterfalls. Waterfalls can be made of natural or artificial stone. Fountains can operate in different modes, the water spray for the fountain is chosen based on the size of the pond. The power of the pump is also selected based on these criteria, often using the model - OASE. Perhaps you do not just decorate your pond, but you will also fish, fish can be both decorative and river. In the cold season, fish are extracted from the pond and the pond is drained.
Now on your site your own decorative pond. He not only decorates it, but also creates a favorable microclimate.
