Daming a section of the pond

[Big Lou]

Kicking around the indea of separating a small cove from the remainder of the pond. The entire present liner must remain in place. The dam must provide a water tight seal. The length of the dam will be 4 to 6 feet. Width and height as needed. Materials to be determined.

Is this project even possible?

Wow this sounds hard to do, can't get my mind around it yet! I have used GOLD LABEL UNDERWATER SEALER POND AQUARIUM SEALANT LINER REPAIR LEAK SEAL . It can be used with the water in the pond. You would need a lot and it's not really for large jobs like yours.

The water level would be below the work area.

By the way I do realize this project is a really zany idea.

Great, would foaming the edges of whatever material you use to the liner be o.k.? I don't know how water proof the foam is and for how long against pressure. Is this a temp job?

nothing wrong with that! Zany ideas are meant to be conquered!!

No permanent. Not sure if the foam hold.

You could build a wall and use hydraulic cement. Between each and every stone. You will want a product like water plug. The only issue is you have very limited work time with hydraulic cements.

 

[Big Lou]

Is water plug and hydraulic cement one and the same?.....Thanks

Why?

 

[Big Lou]

I abandoned the dam option.

It probably wasn't much of a dam plan, was it @Big Lou ?

Dam.

I think my dam idea was damned from the beginning.
