Robin,

The calculations that I did were based on the outer ring being 3 foot
square. The liner won't quite make a 5 foot square, unless it is only 1
foot deep with a 15 inch overhang. At 2 foot deep, you will have only about
3 inches of overhang, which could be touchy getting it centered correctly
and keeping some liner on top of the wall.

Theoretically, allowing for about 15 inches of overlap on
each wall, that
would take 2 1/2 feet of the 9.5 foot, 3 foot across the
bottom adds up to
5.5 leaving 4 foot, divided by 2 sides gives a 2 foot
maximum depth.
Anything less than 15 inches of overlap would be risky
getting the liner in
the right place to maintain any overlap.


That's kind of what I was thinking. Make the inner 2 ft
depth level about 3ft sq, and then make an outer ring that
extends a foot over and a foot up that would make a total
pond size of four foot square. THat should leave me about a
foot of overlap all the way around. I will lay it over the
cinder block, and then cover it with 1ft square pavers, I
may epoxy them to the conder block somehow so that you could
sit on the edge?

Well my first pond hasn't even been up two months and I
am
planning a second. I have a liner that is 10ft X9.5ft
so I
figure a solid 9 square feet for construction. I'm
planning
a more formal type water feature for the front of my
house.
I have big white column so I want to make it look like
ancient greek ruins. My plan is to use one row of
cinder
blocks to make a square; and have that much of the pond
above ground, go inside the cinder blocks about a foot
to
make a marginal shelf and then dig down about 1ft to 2
ft to
form the deeper part. About what size pond will I end
up
with? Would you go for size or depth? I live in the
extreme south and winter extremes are not much of a
problem.

I have cool ideas for this one. I'm going to cover the
cinder blocks with ceramic tiles, maybe a greek key
design.
For the water fall/veggie filter, I want a large pot or
vase. I'll get a grecian lady fountain to pour into the
water fall. Get a couple of those column plant stands
and
lean them over with vines growing up.
