Arowana Tank / Pond Build

[Kaya]

Finally the frame work / welding for the roof is over.. fingers crossed.. and grinding teeth.. i hope the sheets are on today

Added this protrusion so rain water or debris wouldn't fall close to the tank..

Some brackets to hold lights..

Our (elusive) carpenter has been working on the frame around the tank..

Will update post laying the polycarbonate sheets..

Part of the work got done.. i'm not too happy with the frame.. should have been more supports in between to hold the sheet.. at some places the sheet is bulging.. i guess some corrective action is due tomorrow..

Looking good. Better do all the fixing and adjusments you can now while there is now fish in there.

Thanks guys.. jus got the guys again to fix this.. lets see how it turns out to be now...

No compromises and corrective measures.. Decided to (and work is on) to completely dismantle the sheets and the frame and redo it again.. I actually didn't want it so high.. just wanted a height of 1.5' from the top of the pillar and this was like 3'+.. So we've asked them to cut it up and re-lay the sheets with more supports in between.. A little disappointed its getting delayed but i guess this is worth it than cribbing later..

Some updates.. frames been cut up.. height reduced.. flat beams taken out and square tubes used now.. sheets should be up tomorrow..
