Sometimes it shines sky blue, sometimes it glitters silvery, dark or dull gray: Sitting by the water and watching the reflective surface never gets boring. ponds, streams, small pools or water features bring life to the garden and increase its relaxation- and recreational value. Let yourself be seduced – we show you, how to properly plan and build your favorite body of water.
Foil ponds of all sizes
Liner ponds offer the most design options, because foil can easily be glued together from several strips to any desired shape. Pond extensions are not difficult either, because only the water level needs to be lowered a bit and a new piece glued on. To determine shape and size, you put a cord as a contour to the ge-
desired positions. The area should be as large as possible, thus despite flat embankments (at most 30°) a depth of 1 m is reached. Recommended are a water surface of 20 sqm and a wide swamp zone.
How to calculate the size of the slide: greatest length + double depth + 1 m for the swamp zone x greatest width + double depth + 1 m for the swamp zone.
1 Wenn die Mulde abgesteckt ist, you start at the later deepest point with the excavation.
2 Für die Pumpe wird eine Gehwegplatte in die Böschung eingelegt.
3 Meist muss die Folie zusammengesetzt werden. Here it is bonded with solvent welding agent.
4 Bretter schützen den Teichrand, when the foil is pulled into the pit.
5 Falten stören nicht (Cables and hoses disappear inside). Sharp edges are smoothed.
6 Der Teich wird zunächst halb mit Wasser gefüllt, so that the foil sets.
7 Die Tiefwasserpflanzen können nun eingesetzt werden.
8 Zum Schluss wird der Rand mit Grassoden oder Steinen beschwert, the outer edge pulled up and cut off.
