Milky Way Galaxy,
I plan on making it a 8x5x3. I want to make it out of cylinder blocks. I want to make if 4 sides and stack them to 3' tall.and the corners I want to put epoxy to have them hold the corners.and then put the liner down and so on so forth. Sounds to easy ehh? If that won't work each layer and each corner piece i have to stick with epoxy????

first... they are cinder blocks and second i would recommend using concrete between each block and inside the blocks as well
 
All I could think of when i read the title was a wall built out of car engines....

LOL!!!! Dude I so thought the same thing!!!!! Then i saw you post and laughed so hard I cried a little bit!!!

Z, dude that is one helleva project! As a few others posted, look into ALOT of concrete. It will be a permanent fixture?!?!?
 
Adam...buddy. You should really do a LOT of research with your "cylinder" block project-to-be before you start building anything. I have worked with stone setting for a few years and must say you really must know what your up against when working with cinder block construction. I would highly recommend contacting a friend/relative with some sort of experience to help you with this. The best of luck to ya.
 
hahaha i thought the same thing too! i was like how is he going to build a pond out of a car engine, gotta read this :ROFL:
