Raised Pond Wall

I am going to build a slight raised pond, about6 12 in above the
ground. I would like decorative walling and would like to know if I
should make the "wall" double skinned, with concrete block on the
inside?.

Hello lawrence!

Our next pond will be a raised pond and
this sounds like what my DH plans to do.

Also we want to make the wall wide enough
for a grandchild to sit on and feed the fish.

When you say decorative walling, do you mean like tile? If so then yes, you
will need to make a concrete block, or poured concrete wall to attach the
tile to. I would also add pond liner to the inside and bottom.

If you mean just nicely placed stones and plants, then I would just use
liner.

My pond is designed so the fish can eat them if they get too close ;-)

Here some pictures of my wall going up. It is two bricks thick with the
liner between.

That's a lake, not a pond!

A decretive wall, you could go to the local landscaping place and get
something along the E.P Henry line. EPH is $$ but there are other companies
that make wall block that look nice.
