Create a pond in the country

A small garden on a hot day can not bring anything better than a pond. Deciding to create a pond in the country, first you need to determine its location. It is best to choose the most shaded part of the garden, in which direct sunlight does not reach and in which there is no wind. Of course, such conditions are suitable for future residents of the reservoir.

Next, you need to choose the shape of the pond. It can be correct, for example, an oval or a rectangle. But this option is suitable in the case when the landscape of the whole plot is maintained in the same lines. The reservoir, which has irregular shapes and the presence of the curves of the coastal strip, is more appropriate and looks much more comfortable.

Pond in the country house can be of two versions: ready or dug. The first option involves the acquisition of a lake of fiberglass or plastic and the installation of this product in a previously made pit. Most prefer to create a reservoir in the country with their own hands and this is not surprising, because the finished structure has its drawbacks. For example, it is not easy to pick up its shape, then harmoniously fit into the site, and there is a problem with its decoration with the help of aquatic plants and a stone covering.

When constructing a homemade lake in a shaded location, a dense film is used as an insulator, which must be spread over the entire excavation. Its use is necessary to prevent the soil from slipping into the tank. The film is easily removed for the winter period and is replaced, but in this case the reservoir can not last long, as it will be destroyed by nature.

It is in this case that the finished structure is much more practical, since its inhabitants can be moved to suitable conditions in the winter, and the lake itself can be drained and covered with a film.

There is a pretty good option, how to make a pond in the country with water enriched with oxygen. It can be created with a multi-level bath and a water circulation system - so cascades are built. The flowing water will appeal to the inhabitants of the lake . It is necessary to consider the question of the arrangement of the compressor. Such a design can also have special places for planting on level ledges. Placing a similar pond in the country, it should be remembered that the streams and cascades are harmoniously combined with water bodies that have rounded forms, and waterfalls and fountains are more suitable for geometric tanks.

An important point is the location of the lake in the foundation pit. It must be carefully tamped and covered with a layer of sand about five centimeters thick. After the bath is installed and filled with water, it is necessary to fill the voids on either side with sand or soil. The final stage of creation is the design of the reservoir. Decorate the pond with plants and run fish into it. For green plantations it is necessary to install special adaptations to the earth, without them the existence of plants will not be long. The pond also needs an external decoration, so it is worthwhile to connect the imagination to make the pond original.
