I bet it will definetly come in handy.......

Ponds are all fun and games till you try to use a siphon in it.....

Looking forward to updates......

Some shots of the brackets. Floor is going down today/tomorrow, then plywood the walls, then buy foam board for bottom and sides (1"), etc. etc. etc. Liner is coming next Thursday.

Progress!!!!

Question...... Can you skip the plywood and just go with 2in pink styro insulation then just lay the liner in?

I tried this method with a smaller pond I buyilt when testing temp fluctuations. I used 1.5 in pink styro and the studs were on 10 in centers. Held just fine but I only had it set up for a few months.

Well the plywood is free and using 2" foam instead of 1" is double the cost. I was told by an insulation guy that there would be no significant benefit to using 2" for my application.

I'm full of ideas. Problem is a majority of them are crap due to not being able to resist the temptation of overbuilding to the point where it's a complete waste of $ (like my 250lb tank stand)......

*end of derail*

Please continue......

Update

Plywood is in for floor and walls, next is buy the foam and decide on drain location.

Insulated... 1" foam and R22

And lined...

next is plumbing and then the lids! Last will be to finish the exterior, so it looks presentable.
