pond lifted due to rain
I just recently built a 2000 gallon pond with concrete over liner. The
pond has not been filled with water yet. However, the whole pond is lifted a few inches due to recent rain. Actually I am not sure if the pond is lifted or the soil on the side collapsed. If it is lifted by the water, I don't know if the sand I put under the liner all collapsed to the bottom or not. I am going to wait for a few days to see if the pond is going to come back down when the ground water goes away. Unfortunately, we have clay soil here, and the water may not go away for a while. Does anyone have any experience with this? What would you suggest? - Tak |
My liner pond bubbled up the first spring I had it installed... 1994. I had
to wait several weeks for the water to finally drain away. I also had to dig a trench around the pond to keep the heavy spring rains from doing this again. Also built up the sides of the pond about 7 or 8 inches with mulch. Solved the problem. Nedra "Tak Sze" wrote in message om... I just recently built a 2000 gallon pond with concrete over liner.

That's not a pond, that's a boat. ;-( Hence the lift. You could have a serious structural problem as the pond settles back into place. It will not be fully supported. I would imagine there are gaps and pockets all around the basin under ground level. When you do fill it there will probably be cracks at the very least. The only way to avoid that, I think is to fill the pond now and hope it settles into place before the water in the ground drains away. -- Crashj Better fill it with water now; same thing happens with pools. When they are empty and the water table goes up (rain) causes the lift. |

There is only one thing worse than top posting; that is not editing the quoted material left before bottom posting. Usually a person is responding to a single or couple points and only those points need be left and then they can be carefully edited. If the response does not appear in the window without scrolling, then hit delete. Simple. |

I hadn't, but Google had. Now I wish I still hadn't. How do you use the word "pseudoscience" as a _positive_ self-descriptive term? -- derek |
The irritating thing about NOT top posting is that this is supposed to be a
conversation. I know of no one in a conversation who repeats the people who've just spoken ... that is idiotic.... to me at least. I hit delete if the person has not had presence of mind to edit the previous speakers..... even then Bottom Posting is an irritant - I don't give a hoot what usenet says.
