A good concrete pond requires very little money, but it does not tolerate mistakes during construction and waterproofing.
Incorrect methods can lead to a waste of a lot of money that will be spent on maintenance, repair or replacement of low-quality parts. Wouldn't it be better to properly allocate the amount for the initial construction? A good concrete pond structure works for a lifetime or longer, follow these following basic rules to get a wonderful pond- once and for all! Keep in mind that the concrete base of the pond must be at least 20 cm thick. After deciding on the size of the structure and outlining the area of work, uprooting trees, and cleaning rocks, dig a hole. Put up the formwork. Aceed, asbestos cement sheet (flat slate) or planks can be used for formwork. Make sure that the reinforcement (reinforcement frame) fits into it. To dig out the pond construction area, you will need shovels, hoes, crowbars, and, of course, wheelbarrows. Some other necessary carpentry tools include ropes, stakes, and plastic sheets if you need to shape the pond into oval or round shapes. The concrete should be poured in one day to avoid cold joints, if the pond is very large, the base should be filled first, and then the walls. And finally, fill all the upper parts of the pond with cement until it is completely leveled. This job is for anyone, and all members of your family can be involved in this work. After completing these first steps of your pond construction project, it is necessary that the cement hardens within a few days, usually for at least 21 days, constantly watering the concrete with water for 7 days.
After that, remove the formwork. Next, you need to treat the concrete with hydrochloric acid, this step allows you to avoid high pH levels in the water later, which will have a beneficial effect on fish and plants. After acid treatment, apply several coats of pool paint. If you want to put tiles or mosaics, then a special adhesive sealant. Let all this work dry. Concrete pond construction can be a good practice. It's best to start with a smaller pond, and if everything is successful, you can then move on to larger projects. But as soon as you get a good result of your construction, there is no limit to the possibilities. Learn how to build, and then build more substantial beautiful projects!
