How to make reservoir

The reservoir, undoubtedly, is decoration of any seasonal dacha. But what to do if at your dacha there is no small twig even? It can be equipped independently. It is absolutely not so difficult how can seem at first sight.

1. At first it is necessary to decide on the place where you want to make reservoir. Then it is necessary to plan its contours previously. It can be carried out by means of hose or rope. If the turned-out contours suit you, it is possible to dig. When you dig out hole, make sure that at ditch smooth edges. They can be leveled by means of level. If the earth on your site too friable, is better to make pond walls inclined. If clay soil - let they are vertical. It is also possible to provide special deepenings for landing of water plants.

2. Now it is necessary to measure the volume of the turned-out future pond. According to its sizes any given quantity of film is required. Before to put it, to fill layer better from 5-7 cm of sand that sharp stones have not damaged film. It is also possible to manage unnecessary synthetic carpet or to buy special synthetic laying from geotextiles, mineral wool, etc. Over sand, cotton wool or geotextiles it is necessary to put film - waterproofing geomembrane from high-pressure polyethylene or rubber EPDM membrane.

3. After laying of necessary materials is made, the ditch is gradually filled in with water; the geomembrane takes the reservoir form, and its folds which are formed in the course of laying, under pressure of the existing water layer become imperceptible. You do not hurry to cut off film before all pond is filled in with water. Can be, something should be changed. When the pond is filled in, it is necessary to fix one edge of film by stones, and to leave another free. It becomes to give to film the chance slightly to slip down under weight of water. Water should be poured gradually, straightening and pressing down film folds. On perimeter of country pond it is necessary to dig groove. Which width and depth have to be approximately equal to one shovel. Peculiar shelf will turn out. There it is necessary to put edge of film, from above - in one level with the earth - to fill large stones, then to pour concrete, to lay stones on it more small. Now it is possible to cut off film and to hide it under stones. Then it is necessary to put around plant. The beautiful pond is ready.
