Pond BUILD! Day 2- sketchy

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Due to spatial constraints and the desire for a specific aesthetic, the pond is constructed using an 'inside out' method. This means the pond liner, typically laid from the outside edges inwards, must be rolled up as work progresses inward. Boards are placed over the rolled-up liner to create temporary walkways, allowing workers to access the deeper sections. As walls are built, sections of the liner are carefully unrolled. This repetitive process of 'build, roll, build, roll' adds complexity but is essential for achieving the desired outcome in a confined space.

Goal: Construct the pond from the center outwards, managing the liner and access in a confined space.

Tools and materials

  • Pond Liner — Creating the waterproof barrier for the pond
  • Utility Knives — Cutting and shaping liner as needed
  • Wooden Boards — Creating temporary walkways over the rolled liner

What they say

Hide

water all the time so normally you would build upon Pond from the outside in but in this situation we have no space so so we have to build it from the inside out which adds a level of difficulty to the build which means that we have to roll the liner back up Place boards down work our way out and as we start to build the wall we have to unravel that liner so it's build roll build roll build Roll Just a wash rinse and repeat cycle it's very common when we're demolishing swimming pools to use this process but not so common when you're building a pond [Music]
