Hi
I am going to build a new raised pond next to the patio constructed with railway sleepers on a concrete pad (already there) with a box welded liner and would appreciate some advice.
The pond will be approximately 4m x 4m and the railway sleepers are 2.4m long so will require joining but I am concerned that the water pressure may try to push the joints outwards. I intend laying the 225mm x 115mm sleepers on the 'thin' edge.
Should the first row of sleepers be anchored in some way to the concrete base to make a rigid frame and if so any suggestions on how.
What is the best way to join the sleepers together (lengthways), I thought about galvanised metal strips but these would then touch the liner.
I would prefer not to show any fixings on the outside if at all possible.
Can anyone recommend a company to make the box welded liner.
Thanks
