| Firstly, a sump needs to be dug. Before lining it, lay a
footing under the area on which the feature will sit and then use a
underlay and a heavy duty pond liner. Once in position place another
piece of underlay over the area of the footing and then build up with
bricks or blocks to the surface level. Now position a suitable pump
and hose in the pool. Then lay a piece a concrete reinforcing mesh over
the whole pool (on larger features additional support may be required to
span the feature). Cover this with a smaller galvanised mesh, leaving a
large enough hole to access the pump.
Position your chosen feature on the mesh above the brick support and
connect the hose to it. Place a large piece of natural flat stone over
the pump inspection hole in the smaller mesh. Now you'’re ready to cover
the remaining mesh with cobbles or stones of your choice.
