Hello all,
I'm currently building an above ground pond (read outdoor aquarium), my original plan was cement brick on concrete footings and core filled but this was canned due to local council regulations. so i have opted for a timber framed pond on a bed of compacted sandstone. All the walls are stud frame walls and will be lined inside with cement sheet, underlay then liner. My concern is will the pond hold up with the weight and pressure of the water?
Just a few details of the pond to help answer the above question.
Inside diameter of the pond is 1900mm x 1900mm x 700mm (6'3" x 6'3" x 2'3") Wall studs are at 300mm centres (12")
Can anyone offer any advice?
