Formal Ponds

Formal ponds, raised or at ground level, are ideal on patios or on lawned areas. Careful consideration should be taken in the design stages when choosing  your edging method.

When edging with slabs, it is preferable to position the slabs before excavation to create your pool template. This will also limit the number of slabs which require cutting. Crazy paving can provide an easy but attractive alternative especially on pools with curved edges.

Should you desire a heavy stone fountain in the pool, which looks effective in many formal situations, it may be necessary to form a concrete footing in the base of the excavation to support the weight of the fountain and its base before installing the liner.  


 

Formal Pools

  • Ideal for patio areas, formal gardens, fountain features etc.

  • Careful measurements will be required to ensure the pool is square.

  • If circular, use a centre peg and string to create your shape.

  • Curved patio slabs can be purchased to create curves and circular shapes.

  • Filtration will need consideration if required. (See "Filtration".)

  • Ensure ducting for cables is laid before paving surrounding areas.
