Here was my plan
Details - enlarging a pond
I have a 12 x 7 foot pond, that is two years old. I want to make it larger, and am considering a project where I would dig out the area next to the pond, the bring down teh area between the pond to 'join' two liners. So here is my plan...I want to about double the size of the pond, so the other area would be abou the same size, 12 x 7, but maybe a bit deeper (3 feet, and less terraced sides. So some details about the current pond.
12 x 7 feet, about 2 feet deep, with a waterfall, and a skimmer, running about 3000 gals per hour to the falls.
My plan.
1. Dig out the new pond, about 1 foot from the top corner of the old pond.
2. Drain the exising pond down enought so I can break down the 'bridge' of land between the two ponds (maybe a foot or so).
3. Place the liner in the new pond and use a piece of linger to join the two ponds.
4. I may need to add some sort of pump in the skimmer to run some water to a water feature (small water fall) in the other pond area...so there is some movement through the two areas...have not worked that through yet...
does this plan sound like it will work? I so much would like to read a detail description of someone else extending their pond in some fashion to get some ideas etc.
Thanks,
Chris
