Lightweight, very strong fiberglass small garden ponds, and particularly those with a rock or slate natural finish with built in natural colour have been remarkably well accepted. Some people refer to small ponds like these as a self contained units. You can include a small pant or two but they are not suitable and they are too small for lily ponds.
Some ponds are available that do not even need to be dug into the ground. can you imagine the effort saved not to mention the cost of all the extra work. Most of these fiberglass ponds come with edging already built in.
A complete pond and waterfall can now be installed, ready to within 5 or 10 minutes, in any backyard.
Because it is possible to choose from a range of different sized ponds and waterfalls a custom garden pond becomes a breeze. A custom garden pond does not need to be small of course. Preformed fiberglass water garden ponds come up to 3 metres long.. Some waterfalls to consider for custom made ponds are as high as 2 metres or as long as 3 metres. Custom garden ponds were never so easy to put together.
Choosing between preformed ponds and liners
Preformed Ponds for consideration in landscaping ideas
 |
Size limitation. Even the largest sizes of plastic pools are difficult to install level. Very large fiberglass pools are very heavy. |
|
Seem easier to install in loose uneven ground. For the very large fiberglass pools, installation is not a one-person project. |
|
Easier to keep clean but can look sterile and plasticy in a natural environment. |
Flexible Liners for consideration in landscaping ideas
|
Can be any shape and any size |
|
Need a skeletal framework of blockwork or concrete to cope with loose soil or uneven ground. |
|
Can be made to look more natural by facing the inside with rockery. You can even line it with soil. |
|
Marginal plant shelf can be where ever you choose. |
|
Easily incorporate such features as jetties, decking, stonewalls, brick or wood facing and beaches. |
I have read your book with interest and have found it most interesting. I wish I had read it before constructing my pond Gordon Powell, seaview@scottburgh.co.za
I read your book cover to cover last night ., Excellent, this is just what I was looking for. It is hard to find such a comprehensive collection of information in one place. I have been searching the web for about 4 months. Brett Salavoy, Brett.Salovy@za.didata.com
