Edging Methods
More Useful Tips for Edging
Ponds.
However much planning goes into
creating a pond, poor edging can spoil the finished effect and look unsightly,
as well as possibly leaving liners exposed to direct sunlight. This can cause
the liner to perish, hence shortening its life expectancy and allowing it to
become more vulnerable to possible to accidental damage.
| Please note: The examples with
flexible liners do not show an underlay although use of one is highly
recommended.

-
Decide on edging method
before starting excavation.
-
Footings are essential for
most edging, use ample concrete and a strong 3/1 sand cement mix.
-
Where the liner may come in
contact with the footings or walling sandwich the liner with underlay for
protection.
-
Any cement work which will
come into contact with water, should be treated to neutralise the lime.
(please ask in store for advice)
-
Hide ducting for all cables
and pipes into the edging, a couple of spare ducts could be also very useful
in the future.
-
Any cement work which falls
into the pool during construction must be removed.
-
Always do a complete water
change a few days after any cement work on a new pond before introducing any
plant or fish life.
