Let's talk Edging a Liner pond.

[Lisak1]

SO WAS THE LINER ON THE RIGHT RUN OUT SO THAT THERES A GRADUAL DECLINE INTO THE POND BUT THE LINER GOES BACK LIKE 2 OR 3 FEET FROM THE EDGE ?

Nope. Just lots of liner!

 

[stavo]

Stupid question perhaps, but do you roll/fold away from the pond, or towards it?

 

[Mmathis]

@stavo if I understand what you mean. I fold away, or rather, under and away.

Into the pond UNLESS it is a lot of liner or is behind a boulder that i can not move again

@Pablo place your liner trim details in here.

The weather was stupid today as I am sure you had the T-storms also in CT. But just a quick picture tonight. Not bad for the first day of the pond running.

 

[Lisak1]

We rolled away from the pond - toward the human doing the rolling if I'm interpreting the question correctly.

VERY Cool looks like you have a good flow on your falls did you go with 8500? or was it the 12000

I DID MOST OF MY EDGING FROM WITHIN THE POND. but i think your saying you rolled away from the water

 

[Lisak1]

Exactly! Away from the water.

 

[GBBUDD]

At 6 foot the ground is a long way down at almost 60 I took the short cut aand stood in the pond making it only 3 feet to the ground . i like those number a lot better

Thanks, the family is quite happy with the night time look. The falls are coming down at a good clip, much better than I thought they would and the sound is great. I do probably have to throttle back the flow into the bog. I will have to figure out the balance between the pond and bog as I have too much water in the bog, inch or two above the gravel covering two thirds of the bog. That gravel was dirty despite the cleaning which I know everyone has that issue, still annoying, the pond was clear before the bog was filled. The pond ended being 3700 gallons (I had a meter at the faucet) the bog over 300 gallons (a little harder to be exact as it had water in it already from the rain). Using PerformancePro Artesian2 low rpm 1/3hp rated for 6300 gph

unless your sure there's no leaks id shut the pump down for the night and give it a real gook look over before it goes all night

Thanks, its been running since about 9:30am and the level was very steady. Then the downpours came later in the day, about 3/4 inch of rain in a short amount of time and still no leaks around the pond. There are some low edges that I need to bump up a little, areas that we were going in and out of the pond so they got compacted during the build.

 

[GBBUDD]

10.4 it's the rains I was concerned with as it will compact anything not 100% and it is amazing how much pressure water can have pushing against a newly created edge.
Welcome to the next step.
I got to get up out of this chair, where I am enjoying watching the fish and finish detailing that corner.
