Building a spillway
We are wanting to build a small spillway from one pond into another.
We don't have a big drop, only about four inches, and it needs to be about 3 or 4 feet long. Can anyone direct us to photos that show how to build a spillway? Thanks, Debbie |

I don't have anything specific to point you to, but you could try a Google search for spillway, pond, connect, stream, etc. "Stream" or "streambed" may be a more common description for spillway, and some people even use river. Someone in the rec.pond group recently posted his URL which shows construction of a "river" connecting two ponds. I'm sure some other posters will jump in here with suggestions. -- Kathy B, zookeeper |
