block work

[Rich_1833]

does everyone think this would be enough to hold the liner. My worries are the blocks moveing from the water pushing out. Maybe they need to be held together with cement or something. IMG]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a204/rich_1833/the_wall.jpg[/IMG]

Is that yours? It looks so familiar.

Where's Chompers?

Yes, you have to cement them together and would be well advised to pour cement in the blocks after the wall is made and pack it in. Using rebar vertically in each hole would be an asset too. This basically makes a solid wall. bond wall to floor in case of a major leak so it will temp. hold water. Then line with carpet or sand on bottom.

Can you chip into the floor 3in. ? You could make a 2in. bottom drain then and its easy to patch if you move the pond.

 

[Rich_1833]

no this is not mine just useing it as an example.

How big of a pond are you wanting?

You might consider a plastic livestock tank, usually good prices and no cement work. And some even have drains built-in.
