i've decided to go with a 8'x8'x4'deep pond now will the sleepers be
strong enough if i just put them on the ground then dig a hole 2'x2'
deep in the middle then put my liner in or am i best digging in the
first sleeper(i'm gonna be using new sleepers).

id only dig in to get level footings.. no more.. but i would brace the
sleapers with vertical rods (drill the sleapers and insert steel rods
through the sleapers) and steel bars.. (steel bars bent into an L shape on
the corners) also "brick stack£ them (as in alternate the cornrs on each
layer...)
