got so behind on the pictures that I figured I would just give y’all the final build, yesterday and today I went over an assembled, grinded some rebar, globbed some silicone in one place to fix a leak, but here is the pretty version!
first couple sets of boards, after this I figured out that I needed rebar in the corner to, but this is what it looked like at first.
S’more wall sets with all three rebar in each corner.
And finally the main structure put together with rebar grinded down.
and that was all for day one as it was raining for like half the day so we could only work periodically.
First thing on day two was underlayment, I stapled the sides to the main structure so they would stay up, but the bottom kept pulling staples out when pressure was put on it so I decided not to puncture the liner.
Then liner, we tried to get as few folds as possible but as you can see I didn’t get it amazingly smooth by any means.
Although it looks like I skipped a couple steps, I was able to completely assemble the bog at my house, so we really just put trim down and set the bog in place.
I then put large stones up to the top of the PVC insert in the bog as to keep it clog free ( as you can see I made sure to impliment plenty of clean out options as well, it is also worth noting that the holes in the pvc are on the bottom, because of the bulkhead and pvc fittings the insert sat a couple inches off the bottom, so I figured this would be a way to take advantage of that )
And after filling the rest of the bog with pea gravel, and making the water very murky here is the final product! If y’all’s have any questions ( cause I am sure I didn’t really cover everything from typing on my phone ) I can most likely answer them, additionally, I wasn’t planning on making a showcase for this but I do think it turned out really pretty well, I am going to do that, and post future updates ( plants, fish, and I am sure some very warped wood ) both here and there
