dreaming on your own pond? it not a problem!

this tutorial is for begginers! no need of any proffesional tools! 


step 1:

choose the right place. 

make sure that you have engouh space to dig a hole in the size that ou want. its better be a place with soft ground - it will make all the digging easier.


step 2:

dig a hole in the shape, size and depth that you want. in the upper 1/3 form some "step" - start dig a little bit to the sides. it will help us in the next steps.


step 3:

bu some simple plastic  sheet for the  sealing,  the size should  take into consideration  the width, length and depth. 

for exemple - if your pond going to be 1.2m length and 80cm width and 30cm depth - our lengh need to be (120+30+30) cm   (the depth need to be consider twice- from both sides) and its  

recommended to take some sapre cm's.


step 4:

place the plastic sheet on the bottom of the digging and make sure that its cover all of it. 


step 5:

start filling your pond with water, fill it onl up to the lower 1/3- that force the plastice sheet to stick to the ground.


step 6: 

start to put stons on the step around the pond to cover the the  margins of the plastic sheet.


step 7:

finish the filling of the pond with water.


step 8:

for decoration - its possible to scatter some tuff stons around the pond.

now, when your pond is read ou can add ever decoration that ou want.

for exemple : fountions, artificial leaf and water flowers.

you can find all this eccesories on line and in gardening shops.
