The reservoir in the territory of the seasonal dacha serves as original ornament. Today for its construction it is not necessary to address experts as all it is possible to make with own hands and the cost of necessary materials small. There are several different options about which we will talk below.
How to construct a pond the hands?
The simplest option is to buy a ready plastic form and to establish it in the chosen place. Such forms have a number of advantages, for example, they well transfer both a winter, and flying weather, are resistant to mechanical damages, etc. It is possible to refer impossibility in the future to adjust a form or depth of a reservoir to minuses.
The most often used option – a pond from a film. In that case there is an opportunity to create any form and depth, besides at any time it is possible to make desirable changes.
Before passing to work, it is necessary to be defined, there will be a reservoir where exactly. Experts recommend to stop the choice on the site with good lighting and where there are no large trees that foliage did not pollute water.
The simplest option is to use ready forms of a pond which scheme of creation can be seen below.
For construction of a decorative pond the hands it is necessary to prepare such materials: a covering from PVC, sand, geotextile material, plates from a stone and boulders. For convenience of performance we will consider the step-by-step instruction:
- By means of a rope and stakes make a marking of future lake. A shovel at first dig round on perimeter, and then, it is possible to pass to digging of a ditch. It is important to consider that depth should not be more than 0.5 m and if there are small fishes, then it is no more than 1.4 m. Upon termination of work surely look that at the bottom and on each side the hole was not any sharp objects which could damage a film. Using level, check a tilt angle of coast that they were in one horizon.
- On a bottom fill up sand, a layer it is no more than 150 mm. Surely properly stamp it.
- From above with an overlap lay out geotextile material which needs to be used for protection of a covering.
- At this fabrication stage the hands of a pond at the dacha it is necessary to lay a ditch a film. Important that there were no zalom and air under it. From above fix edges by stones. You should not cut off superfluous as under the pressure of water the film can stretch.
- It was necessary only to decorate a pond, using stones to hide a film and to make it attractive.
In principle at this stage it is possible and to stop, but then it is necessary to clean often a reservoir as water will stand. It is possible to use the pump, the system of filtration and also a pipe for an admission and production of water. They can be disguised plants, and it is the best of all to make a stream or small falls which will already pump purified water.
Pond the hands from improvised materials
The small reservoir can be made of an old bathtub or of a car tire. Let's consider the second option in more detail. For work it is necessary to prepare such materials: old tire of any diameter, film, sand, stones and plants. It is the best of all to do a decorative pond by the hands of the tire of the tractor or the truck.
The scheme of a pond from the bathroom:
At the chosen tire it is necessary to cut off the top part. For this purpose it is possible to use a knife or a saw on metal. Dig out a hole on diameter and depth of a tire, and put a layer of soft sand on a bottom. Having inserted a tire, surely check its situation level. At the next stage it is necessary to cover the tire with thick ukryvny material to prevent a leakage. It is possible to use a film, but only to put it in two layers. The chosen material has to support approximately on 50 cm tire walls. Fill capacity with water to give it the final form. On a bottom it is possible to fill a little sand.
Generally, the pond in a garden made with own hands is almost ready, it was necessary to impose it with stones and to decorate with plants.
