Aha! Now I finally know what to do with all those leftover pump fittings! Great idea!

Oooh! That looks really nice! Gives the pond a bit of a Japanese garden type of feel. I also like how it adds a bit of height, which automatically makes the pond blend in better with the rest of the garden. Nice work!

Thanks! Now I just need to make the rest of the pond look decent.

because of the warm weather, I have been looking at the pond a bit more, and realized the thing that bugged me most was the exposed liner around the sides. Hence I started working on edging. I am trying my best to get close to the aquascape way, but I think I will need to rip this edging out and re-do it with some larger rocks later in the season.
Its far from perfect, but a heck of a lot better than what was going on before.

@TheFishGuy You will love it when you can't see the liner and you are off to a good start

Got an update!
Yesterday I decided to start on the bog. I got the hole dug/berm built ( building on a bit of a slope ) and the plumbing all ready to go!
The bog is about 14 inches deep, and 5 x 4 for width and length. It isn’t huge, but I hope it will do the job.
Still deciding wether to go with epdm liner ( $160 ) or hdrpe ( $90 ) but hopefully I will have that sorted out by next weekend so that I can wrap up the bog!

Wouldn't hesitate to go hdrpe. Lighter, stronger. And at your size, probably no factory seams, either.

Hdrpe has my vote, nice bog hole!

hdrpe is about half the price, so that is what I am leaning towards. The only place I have found with the size I need doesn't say how long it will take to ship though, so I am waiting to hear back from them!

Why would a woven material have more potential failures?
Try justliners.com if you have a question they actually ANSWER THE FRIKIN PHONE AMAZING in today's day and age . I ordered a 30 x40 epdm and it was at my door in 3 days Tenn to CT
Every strand has a bond on all four sides each strand is like 1/8 of an inch thats a lot of strands to have to bond to each other. But on the flip side it's one reason it's less prone to tear . But cut it and watch how it freys

I didnt even think about that being an issue! Is this why you went with epdm for your pond build?
