Most of you that replied are changing and adding plumbing. For the novice
that is now planning to get into the pond construction. What is the WORST
decision you made when you built your pond(s)? The BEST?
==================================
We didn't use a concrete berm at the start so the berm started to collapse
after a few years. We finally had to pull the liners and redo the berms on
both ponds. No small job. It now has a cement berm with rebar going deep in
to the ground and bars in the concrete itself to prevent cracking or moving.
