OK

Been side tracked for the last week or so....

So I've been thinking about how to build the wall of my pond. Having
probed the ground of the intended location, the rock is very close to
the surface on one side so I think I'll just stand it straight on the
ground.

I've not yet decided on how to make the containing wall, the liner I
already have. Aside from masonry, what do other people use for free
standing 5 foot diameter ponds? Obviously when finished the wall will
no longer be visible because of the rockery.

For my 1 foot deep pond/fountain/paddling pool I'm using aircrete
blocks layed on their side. My main concern with the blocks (or any
other masony) is the sideways pressure the water can exert. Obviously
if it sits inside a large waste pipe, that takes care of that problem.
