Well, got the hole half way dug and the frame for the shallow ledge that the border rocks will sit on almost completed. The liner will go over this ledge and with the border rocks sitting on it to allow me to have the water level about half way up the sides of the rocks. This will definitely make the appearance much more professional.
Now the question is, should I tar this pressure treated wood or leave it as is?
l'm only using this wood because I live in Florida and have very sandy ground. This should stop the tops of the sides from caving in once filled with water.
Anyone have a degree in pressure treated wood specialities that can give an opinion? As long as it lasts 10 years or more I'll be happy with it. Just don't know if tarring it will make the moisture in the wood begin to rot it sooner or if leaving the outside edges exposed to the ground will do this.
Thoughts?
