Neil finally persuaded me to put a pond in our rather tropical jungle looking garden at the side of our house. Here are a couple of pics of the area before we started.
Neil got a bit carried away while I was out and built the biggest monstrosity you have ever seen. It was that big I could have done laps in it!
After a little gentle persuasion Neil made it ever so slightly smaller, but still huge! The liner had to be done with 2 pieces sealed together with joiner tape as we couldn't find any liner big enough to do it in one piece.
We intend to put bench type seating a each end too. Neil started to build up the rocks to make a waterfall into the pond. I just gave direction as I hurt my back this week and was not going to go through that pain again.
The moral to this post is never build a pond that is sooooo big that you have to join 2 pieces of liner cos it.......you guessed it .... LEAKS!
Now we have to empty the pond and get some more liner tape, which takes 4 weeks to get in as nobody has it in stock. Now who's bright idea was this pond!

Oh what a shame. Ihope it all works out in the end.
It's going to look fantastic when he gets it all worked out and finished.
John's been working on one at our place for a while and has redesigned it a couple of times. They are not as easy to get right as they look.
