Woos new pond

After 25 years my pond sprang a leak and sadly had to be demolished so I emptied one of my raised beds out and have created a new pond

The new pond is almost completed.just the making good to do(decking around the perimeter )and the masonry painting brick red, pump.small water Lilly,and metal grill to fix and then the ghost carp to their new home

 

Well done . You've now got plenty of room to plant new things

 

Good morning everyone ,well would you believe it just went and checked the new pond and the water has all gone,so I thought I have posted many projects over the years which were successes so I thought I really must show you when projects don't go to plan,not sure what to do next but I shall have to keep smiling and have a re-think

 

The elephant must have drunk all of it! Had you put a lining in there? Maybe it needs a tougher one or even two linings

I'm sure you'll solve the problem.

 

Good morning @shiney my friend its a complete mystery ,the lining is the toughest on the market,the inside of the raised bed is as smooth as a babies bottom and under the base of the liner it is bedded with sand,I shall wait until I have some daylight and have a closer look,have a good day my friend

 

Good afternoon @luciusmaximus my friend almost done just got to paint it brick red and stain the surround

 

Painting done will stain tomorrow with Antique Pine

 

Good evening @martin-f my friend returning Frogs they are in a separate tank in the greenhouse ready for their new home,they will be able to gain access to the pond by way of a lower raised bed which is next to the pond

Good afternoon @luciusmaximus and all my other friends,have stained the surround will put the second coats on tomorrow weather permitting,pump and filter should be here tomorrow,and still a little of making good to do
