Extra Liner
Well I am glad I did the measurements the way I did when I order my liner. I
used the method of length x width x deepest depth. I have tons of extra liner, but we had not problems installing it. Me and the SO had EPDM in both ponds, with plumbing booted in under two hours. Not bad. And to boot...when we were done, my SO says to me, "Cool...we have enough leftover for a stream." God, I love her. -- BenignVanilla Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it. tibetanbeefgarden.com Remove MYFRONTALLOBE to email me. |

Does this mean you installed the bottom drain before filling? I guess some do it this way. I like to fill and drain before cutting the liner, that way the water works the liner into all the corners so there won't be any pull/stretch on the bottom bulkheads or pipe boots. ~ jan See my ponds and filter design: http://users.owt.com/jjspond/ ~Keep 'em Wet!~ Tri-Cities WA Zone 7a To e-mail see website -----------== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----= Over 100,000 Newsgroups - Unlimited Fast Downloads - 19 Servers =----- |

So right now, I have a Beckal Boot on my bottom drain with no clamp. Over the past week...I do not detect any water loss. Of course, I must mention that my ground here is like concrete. The builders took the top soil away when they built the houses. Just a few hours after digging the ground is rock hard, and nearly impenetrable. I dug the hole, and dug the trench for the bottom drain pipes. I then waited a few weeks. Then I put the plumbing in and backfilled with a wet slurry of this material and waited for it to dry. My pipe is nearly cemented into the ground. If it ever moves/leaks...I will be surprised. I hope I did not just jinx myself. BV. |
