Terrace with a pond for the young family Barbara and Roger for a long time was only a cherished dream. But finally the couple decided to bring their idea to life. Now in their pond live the real goldfish…
1. So, let’s start in order. The pit for the future of the pond wife was marked and dug next to the terrace. The bowl of the pond from the deck they were planning to do a little deeper into that recess to hide the pump and filter, but further digging was impossible, as the underground runs of sewer pipe. To get out of the situation, they extended the terrace a little, and in the resulting niche installed the necessary equipment for the pond. And to the pump and filter could be easily reached at any time, the owners decided to make a small hatch.
2. Then the owners laid the Foundation of the future water body.
3. Further, from the simple white brick wife built the walls of the reservoir. Here and laid out a small flower garden, on the one hand which placed a container of water.
4. Then Roger has covered all the walls of the pond porphyry slabs.
5. A hose attached to the pressure filter was placed in the water tank. To through the walls of the reservoir are not leaking water, all between the plates filled with water-repellent cement and were later processed with a solution for facade stones.
Later, a stainless steel chute was attached to the water supply tank, and the protruding end of the hose was disguised as a ball-shaped fountain-spring.
6. To an internal wall of a reservoir by means of a solution attached wooden rail, and to it a film for a pond.
7. The top wall of the reservoir also posted porphyry slabs. For aquatic plants, a bowl of pond of 80 cm in depth was too deep, so the bottom of the pond one on the other set of hollow blocks of concrete, on which are placed baskets of plants.
8. The bottom was covered with a dense layer of gravel.
9. A flower garden was planted with succulents, primarily sedums.
Recommendation. Underwater lights, as well as all kinds of floating lights are very popular for fountain decoration.
How nice to relax after a hard day at the cool, soothing murmur of water fountain made with their own hands. Even a small decorative fountain in the suburban area will be not only a bright decoration of the landscape, but also a favorite place to relax, where you can enjoy the unity with nature. To deliver is an incomparable pleasure is not difficult, if to embody the idea, knowing how to do it.
