How do you design a pond that won't overflow in heavy rain?
I am planning to dig a small pond probably about 8 ft by 6 ft. It will have
a small waterfall and a skimmer. In heavy rain, is there a way to keep the pond from overflowing? |

You just have to plan for where it will overflow. San Diego Joe 4,000 - 5,000 Gallons. Koi, Goldfish, and RES named Colombo. |

For my lily pond we plan to build it into the filter barrels since it is a formal pond, from the filter barrels overflow can run out onto the lawn. ~ jan ------------ Zone 7a, SE Washington State Ponds: www.jjspond.us |
