A beautifully designed pond in the country can be your favorite place. Make it not very difficult, you need to be patient. First of all, we determine the shape and dimensions in order to choose the necessary material. The stores now sell plastic blanks for the pond. Any old container, for example, a basin that you have not been using for a long time, can perfectly fit here. Or a baby bath if the children are already grown. You can adapt the old enameled bath, provided that you have purchased a new one. Even a tire from a large wheel can come in handy.
Having decided on the question "what to do from," we move on to the next. How to make a
reservoir in the country, having nothing but his hands? We begin to prepare the place where the pond will be located. To drown the selected form, you need to dig a hole. Its dimensions depend on the auxiliary material that you decide to use. If this is a small basin, then it is better to hide it in the flower garden. For the bath, you need to dig a large hole to completely hide. If you use a tire, then just dig it in the middle.
A reservoir in the country can be equipped without a ready-made tank. So it will even turn out to be more interesting, because it will be possible to give it any shape. Having prepared the pit, pour some sand there to make a pillow. Then we cover the entire inside with a film so that it fits tightly around the edges of the pit. We fix the ends on the surface with stones and pour a little water. The film must be aged and fully take the form of a dug hole. When using an old plastic bath, it is also better to protect it, especially if it has cracks.
The next step to be taken when creating a reservoir in the country is to strengthen the coast. It is better to use the cobblestones that are on the site. They are necessary to fix the edge of the film. If there are no stones nearby, use the wooden bars. They can be filed in different heights. So it will be even more interesting.
An artificial reservoir in the country can be entered into the landscape with a rockery or grotto. Lay out a beautiful wall and run your
home waterfall. When choosing a place for arranging a pond, try not to have large trees nearby. Otherwise, you will often have to clean the pond from fallen leaves. Having surrounded the coast with stones, we fill in the water. Now you should think about the plant world of your pond: what flowers to plant and how to arrange a pond. You can buy ready-made figures of ducks or other animals. But if you make frogs and a heron from plastic bottles, it will be quite good, and even very pretty. Using unnecessary trash, you additionally clean and decorate your territory.
Leaving a pond in the country for the winter, it is better to pump water out of it. Otherwise, it will freeze and may damage your work. Large ponds are able to stand the winter with water, only plants will most likely have to be re-planted. It is unlikely that they will winter in the open. If the size of the plot allows, you can dig a small pool. Its walls are finished with cement and tile. Above the pool, it is better to install a light roof that can be removed when there is no water. And if you consider the option of heating the entire tank, then in the winter you can swim.
