Garage pond
- Thread starter Lyferxb9s
- Start date
Ok I went with the easiest one and started a little bit tonight. I will need some longer screws before I can do the lateral supports.
It is coming together slowly. going to need a few more 2x4s and then start sheathing with plywood. I will most likely use a nice 1/2 or 3x4'' on the interior and then 1/4'' on the outside and stain it. Insulated also.
Shes getting a little stronger. I just need to figure out how to get the center, length wise, not to bow out so much. I don't want a center brace.
All framed out. However it still bows really bad in the middle. Not sure how to fix that without center braces going across the top 
Lol that does sound ghetto. Pond liner is best. It's bpa free

So are waterbed mattresses made after a certain date. My plans now are to use a 3x4'' bottom to prevent that from bowing out. Sheething the inside with 1/2'' or 3/4'' OSB and then a nice 1/4'' exterior and some stain.
Are you ably to afford real plywood instead of the Ian? Only reason I'm saying something is because I'm a licensed contractor. Osb will delaminate and become structurally unsound with moisture. Also, if structural soundness is a concern, I would get some Simpson hardware. It's available at home depot. Simply using a hurricane clip on the inside corner will do wonders. They cost 80 cents a piece, but you'd be surprised how well it works. In fact, I'm a contractor at the jersey shore, and hurricane clips are required by code for every single roof joist.
