A small garden on a hot day, nothing can revive better than a pond. Having decided to create a pond in the country, first you need to decide on its location. It is best to choose the most shaded area of the garden, in which direct sunlight does not fall 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 a similar option is suitable when the landscape of the entire site is maintained in the same lines. A pond with irregular shapes and the presence of bends of the coastal strip is more appropriate and looks much more comfortable.
The pond in the country can be of two options: finished or dug. The first option involves the purchase of a lake of fiberglass or plastic and the installation of this product in a pre-made foundation pit. Most people prefer to create a reservoir in the country with their own hands and this is not surprising, because the finished design has its drawbacks. For example, it is not easy to choose its shape, after which it will fit harmoniously into the site, and there is also a problem with decorating it with water plants and lining with stone.
When arranging a makeshift lake in a shaded place, a dense film is used as an insulator, which needs to be lined throughout the pit. Its use is necessary to prevent soil slipping into the tank. The film is easily removed for the winter period and is replaced, but in this case the reservoir will not be able to serve for a long time, as it will be destroyed by nature.
In this case, 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 film.
There is a pretty good option on how to make a pond in the country with oxygen-enriched water. It can be created using a multi-level bathtub and a water circulation system - this is how cascades are built. Running water will appeal to the inhabitants of the lake . It is necessary to consider the issue of compressor design. A similar design can also have special places for arranging plants on level ledges. When placing such a pond in the country, it should be remembered that streams and cascades are harmoniously combined with ponds that have round shapes, and waterfalls and fountains are more suitable for geometric tanks.
An important point is the placement of the lake in the 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 required to fill the voids on the sides with sand or soil. The final stage of creation is the design of the reservoir. You should decorate the pond with the help of plants and run fish in it. For green spaces, it is necessary to install special devices with the ground, without them the existence of plants will not be long. The pond also needs external decor, so it’s worth connecting a fantasy to make the pond original.
