Hi everyone. Boy am I glad to find this site!
We bought a house two years ago with a tiny backyard and a pretty big pond/waterfall. Of course it leaked. We had someone who turned out to be pretty unknowing themselves put in a liner, which it didn’t have, but it didn’t solve the problem, was too high onto the rocks, and was ugly as sin. My husband eventually found that painting the underside of the slate shelf that the water ran off of at the top with water repellant helped a lot, as water was running back under into the rocks.
That liner has been a pain—ugly, floating, not well trimmed, etc. And the big pool seems to hold water without it. My question, do we need it? As I read everyone seems to have one. What is the upside?
Thanks in advance. I’m looking forward to some wisdom in many areas!
