Pond from above ground pool
It *might* sound odd, but really, I have it all worked out in my head how it
will come out.. I am trying to convince the hubby now and short of trying to draw him pictures he just can't seem to *get it*. The kids don't use the pool anymore.. he mentioned taking it out and putting an in ground pond where it was.. I told him I have been drooling over the thought of turning it into an above ground pond for years now. Leave the pool liner in, attach something to cover the hole where the skimmer is.. use sand bags to make areas up higher for plants and *landscape* it so to speak.. Pile some along the sides to make areas more of a shallow bog then drape pond liner over it all. There is a great deck around about 2/3s of the pool.. the open part could be covered up using landscape timbers to make a wrap around planter sort of stair stepped up along the pool.. Anyway, I know it would work and look great. I am *sure* I have seen a webpage where someone had done this or something similar but all I am finding is in-ground pools turned into ponds. Does anyone here know of anyplace I could find pictures of an above ground pool made into a pond? Or am I going to have to get out the crayons... Teeb |

EXCELLENT!! That pool is a bit bigger than ours so the *well our's wouldn't
take as much work* did some good too, lol. Plus the fact that we already have one pond so know what we're getting into as far as the care.. he knows I wouldn't be going into it blind.. Thanks! If anyone knows of any others please post them as well.. Maybe I just need to rephrase my searches.. pool to pond conversion.. for some reason *conversion* didn't come to mind.. sheesh.
