DIY raised wooden pond?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I'm amazed that you think that the landscape timber pond is complicated. It is the easiest pond to build. Matter of fact I can build one 8' x 4' in 3 or 4 hours. (That includes setting in the liner but not the fill time.)

Step one: Cut timbers to size, drill holes in ends for all thread.

Step two: Install all thread in first timber layer.

Step 3: Stack rest of timbers, tighten all thread.

Step 4: Line inside with foam sheeting.

Step 5: Lay in liner, drape excess over edge.

Step 6: fill pond. (keep liner wrinkle free.)

Step 7: Put final timber over the top to secure liner.

Contstruction Phase...Done.

Good luck with whatever design you choose. :thumbsup:

um.. this is on a roof ? we are talking almost 2000lbs here, or 200 lbs/sq/f. is the landlord ok with this? if so, cool...you can use a box made from 3/4 in plywood w/several straps aroud it and a cross brace at top center.

Hey, how 'bout one of those new style pools from wally world that are like a liner w/ a blow-up ring at the top, they got several sizes... AND THEY"RE BLUE !!! (?) or one of those plastic cattle troughs. :screwy:
 
plastic cattle trough would be the easiest. buy it and fill it. also very easy to move.
 
yeah i'm not worried about the weight at all. I live in a condo, with two levels. I have the top floor plus the roof. Our building is made out of steel and concrete so if that doesn't hold the water I dont know what will.

Thanks for the info miles.

I've also looked into getting a trough to fill with water. I'm in Hong Kong tho so i don't really know where i could get them.

Thanks
