Building a 8'x10'x5' deep pond into basically solid rock 6" under ground

Its cold....Will def post more up as I make more progress and finish and get fish next year.

Wouldn't it be cheaper if you used the rock on a roll legthwise versus up and down like that? Have you tried it the other way, too? Or is there a specific look you are going for?

Probably kind of late on this, but I found this great stuff called Rock on a roll

the rock to the right hand side is covered with the stuff. It has variations and looks pretty good and was an easy install the liner was put over the rock and we put this stuff over the rock to get rid of the ugly black protrusion out of the water. The stuff is like hevy wallpaper and had very little dust fly off when put into the pond.
