How to make a plastic pond in the country with their own hands?
Much easier is the case, if you use for the construction of an artificial reservoir in the country with their own hands finished plastic bowls. They simply dig in, decorate, and also equip with already prepared systems from the pump and hoses. First choose a place, install our plastic bowl and outline the contours of the pit.
Dig a hole according to the depth of the pool. It is important that the plastic bowl does not rise above the ground level. Usually this is a two- or three-level construction, therefore, and the pit will have to dig into several tiers.
Once your plastic base is firmly seated in the bottom, you can start fixing it. We begin to gradually pour sand under the walls. It is important that the bowl is firmly seated in a prepared pit. We pour the sand gradually, pushing it under the walls.
Further we proceed to additional fixation and simultaneous decoration. For this we need flat and large boulders. We will arrange them along the edge of the plastic base. It is important that the stones seem to hang over the thicket, completely blocking its sides.
We install a system for water in our decorative pond at the dacha, made by own hands. We install the hose to a constant place, connect it to the pump and start to choose the position of the waterfall. To do this, just let the water to see its descent into the bowl itself.

Next, using a mixture of sand and cement, we fix the laid stones along the perimeter of the sides. We install the hose so that the water is fed in the right place, and decorate it.
From above the hose is covered with a flat and not very heavy stone. Now the water supply and distillation system is installed.
It remains only to zadkorirovat own water reservoir in the country, selecting special plants for such ponds. We poured decorative pebbles on the bottom of our pond, we cover it with flowerpots with plants.
