I want to make an indoor pond with a glass front, but I don't want to use a "paint on" sealer. I can't figure out how to use a pond liner since I want a window, so would it work to use plastic sheeting as a liner and weld the joints?
I could see a few benefits to it. It would be more reliable since it could flex a little, and it would be easily repaired. Plastic sheets aren't that expensive, so there must be a reason that I'm missing. What are your thoughts?
I want to make a 8x4x3 "pond" with a glass front ( I already have the glass).
My thoughts were to frame it out of 2x6s, line that with 3/4" plywood, and then line the inside of all of it with 1/8" plastic (ABS) and seal the glass to the plastic. I could even weld a frame onto the liner to support the glass if I glued the liner to the plywood.
