As
I have already mentioned previously - it took quite a few emails
back and forth to convince our customer that the pond had to be
deeper, much deeper, than it was in the previous sets of
photographs .. and the set below shows how that was achieved ..
no doubt using local labour and buckets of swet .... and as you
can see the supporting steel work for the wall construction has
at this stage already been put in place...
|
|
|
The next job of course was to start constructing the walls .. and
in this case the walls were constructed using 8" hollow
concrete blocks - each block being carefully lowered over the
steel supports - quite a task in itself, especially for short folk
like myself....
|
|
|
Once the walls had been brought up to the height required prior to
the final course shuttering was used to form a template for a
solid concrete collar to give a good finish to the top edge .. not
always necessary or required .. but certainly goes towards
providing a good finish...

|
At last the pond is beginning to look like a pond .. and
even the area for the filtration system and other equipment is
beginning to look part of the whole construction ... let's
continue onto the next page...
