Easy step-by-step Preformed Pond installation guide
1. Location
The ideal pond location is away from deciduous trees and conifers and has ap- proximately 4 - 6 hours of sunlight daily.
2. Tools
For installation you require: Spade, shovel, filler sand, level, yardstick, and a garden hose with water connection.
3. Marking
First, position the preformed pond in the desired location, then mark the contours with sand.
4. Deep zones
The different deep zones are also marked with sand incrementally.
5. Excavation
Generously dig out the specific zones of the garden pond.
6. First test
Then insert the preformed pond to see how it fits.
7. Fill-in
Adjust the different excavated levels with filler sand to compensate unevenness.
8. Levelling
The floor and the pool are levelled out in length and width.
9. Backfilling
Once levelled, the pond should be filled to around 150mm with water, and then all around the perimeter wet sand should be used to backfill to the same level as the water, ensuring the sand fills all cavities. This should then be repeated until the pond is fully supported
10. Filling and compensating
In the final step, the area around the pre- formed pond is adapted to the preformed pond with sand, soil, gravel, etc.
11. Edge area décor
Now you can start planting and designing the pond. Ensure that you completely fill the perimeter bank zone with gravel.
That’s it!
