The pond at the cottage

Recently, it has become incredibly popular to equip ponds in their dachas. This is probably due to the availability of available materials and systems for their creation and subsequent care. Of course, to create a pond in the dacha with your own hands can be difficult, but here's a small pond in the country is worth considering.

It will create an oasis, where it is so pleasant to relax, listen to the sounds of murmuring water, refresh yourself, just admire the water surface. To properly determine the type of reservoir, you need to turn to the generally accepted classification.

Types of reservoirs for the suburban area:

  1. Fixed pond - decorative or bathing.
  2. A reservoir with moving water - a cascade, a stream, a fountain , a waterfall.
  3. A small decorative pond in the country with standing or moving water . It can be either stationary or portable.

Design of a reservoir in the country

In form, the reservoir can be natural, geometric or elevated. Natural ponds imitate natural reservoirs and have irregular contours, often they are framed with natural stones, pebbles, planted with coastal vegetation.

Geometrical in form ponds can be round, square, oval, rectangular. Elevated ponds have become a derivative of geometric. The only difference is that they rise above the ground level, making it easier to care for them and minimizing the chance of accidental falling into the water.

Arrangement of a reservoir in the country

The easiest way to do is to design a pond in the country house with the help of a mold made of fiberglass or polyethylene. However, their drawback lies in the limited choice of form and the standard small size. In the future, you can not change or enlarge the pond.

Ready-made forms for ponds usually mimic natural water bodies, therefore they do not suit lovers of strict geometric shapes. And they can not be raised because they are completely digging into the ground. But they are good for beginning gardeners - they can not be taken care of independently.

Another option of pond arrangement is the use of a film. Of course, the creation of a film pool will be more expensive, but it can be given any shape and size.

The most universal solution for any type of pond will be the concreting of the walls and the bottom. Such a concrete bowl will last much longer, besides, you will get a lot of space for the embodiment of fantasies and design ideas.
