ABOVE GROUND POND w/pic

[Calvin]

Hello!
After a week or so I finally got my above ground pond semi complete just the finishing touches now. Completely build above ground on top or concrete! Cost me a little less then 2,000 I think. (Money pit)

Tell me what you think! Thanks!

From beginning to end.. Foundation solid like a mountain.. Won't budge a single bit.. Hopefully it will withstand this water!

Lot's of hard work! Looking forward to the end result.

Looks good so far. Should be interesting to see if the sides bow out from the water.

Very nice. The sides will not bow because of the way the boards are run. They are much stronger the way he has them.

I'm curious. What did you use between the boards? Looks like construction glue and screws? Should hold well. Looking forward to more pics as construction continues!

I used nail glue and 3inch screws! With L brackets to hold together on some

Many were saying I was over doing it but it's better to be safe then sorry

Wow, that's a lot of work [but isn't building any pond.....], but you have done a great job! It looks very sturdy. Keep us posted, and want to see pics once it's finished & stocked with fish

Really cool concept, looks great so far.

So Calvin, will you just leave those spaces near the corners empty and let the liner be seen, or do you have another plan there? Just curious. Everything looks great.
