Derekp's Pond Build Thread...

Don't forget the underlayment. Even though the is no trees cloose by, it is good insurance and peace of mind. A strong geo-textile can be bought at any landscape supply or nursery. Old carpet can work and is free if you don't mind a little dumpster diving....

Im putting old carpet down to protect it. We have a ton of it extra. It doesn't have any nails or staples in it either.

Okay so Ive been meaning to order the liner for a while now but I havent had all of the money to do it. I sold my truck today and made a nice chunk of change, so I will be ordering the liner tonight.

Ok so I was planning on buying a 30 ft by 40 ft 45 mil liner but couldnt seem to come up with enough money. It was going to cost $750 shipped to my door. Well last night I decided to check craigslist for deals like I always do. I then saw a brand new, never been used, 40 ft by 45 ft 45 mil liner for $450. I immediately called him up and I went and got it today. He loaded it with a tractor because it was so heavy. I am soooo happy and excited to have it!!!!! Gonna spend all day tomorrow putting it in place.

If you are a college student, why are you spending a ton of money on a pond at, I am assuming is your parents house.
Just wondering, but it will look awesome!

When you are out of college are you going to redig this pond at your place, or I would say a LARGER one
