Sleeper pond part 7. Window install. Will it leak...

I went and did the same with my pond with the window and liner! Thanks for confirmation on my method! Glad I'm not the only one that has tried this!

[@martinharrex314]

Great to see this, I'm of extending my sleeper pond and adding a window, been great to watch this. My sleepers are on their edge.

[@Synysterjmz]

Great job! This is more or less the same construction idea for my up coming pond this year. I see most people go the fibre glass route with viewing windows, so it's great to see one go in to a box liner build!

[@dannycurrie1]

Glad the video was helpful :) if the pond was block built I'd definitely fiberglass. As its wood I was worried that any movement in the wood could caused the fiberglass to crack. But shows windows can be done in sleeper ponds. Mines seems rock solid and nothing has moved so far

[@TelfordKoiPond]

You’re doing a grand job, pond is really coming on well despite the weather/conditions you’ve been working with. Interesting way of sealing the liner around the glass, certainly avoids the creases and folds you get when pinning liner under glass. Keep up the good work👍😊🐟🈲

Thanks mate. I'm so happy with how the window turned out. It was a bit of a gamble doing it that way with the liner in front. In my head I was confident it would work but couldn't find much info about anyone that had done it successfully. Like you say it avoids the creases and also if the wood moves atall the liner is only sealed to the glass so the seal shouldn't be affected by any movement, that's the theory anyway

Glad I found your videos just watched a few and am now going to watch a few more. This is similar to what I want to build. Will be my first koi pond. A friend has advised I dig out and do a concrete base then I will block up from that so the inside is nice and square. But at the end you talk about the dirt on the bottom of the pond. Iv seen that if you have a bottom drain you should slope the bottom of the pond so all the dirt falls down the bottom drain, I want to do a bottom drain with a box liner have you sloped yours? I’m guessing it’s quite hard to do with a box liner as you won’t have any liner to play with. What’s your opinion? Thanks.

[@dannycurrie1]

If your using a box weld liner the bottom needs to be pretty flat, you will get away with a very slight slope in towards the drain but too much and your liner won't fit. Mine was sloped in a little but with it being so wet underneath once it has all settled my drain isn't even at the lowest point. Hasn't caused an issue though as I've got good flow around the pond and no dirt settles. If I'd done it in summer when the ground was dry it would have been alot easier. Lessons learned there. If your block building your pond then yes slope it in to the drain properly but then have it fiberglassed would be my advice

Hi what sealant did you use and also did you use fibreglass window?

[@dannycurrie1]

Idealseal ms290. Brilliant stuff. And no fiberglass. Glass was glued into the frame then the liner glued to the outside of the glass

[@waynebenson700]

Lovely pond there bud... going to attempt a window on my new one Can i ask where you got your skimmer from?

[@dannycurrie1]

Thanks mate. We'll worth doing the window I think. Skimmer is from absolute koi, not cheap but it's works brilliantly

[@waynebenson700]

Yeah 100% well worth doing mate 👍 cheers for that ill give them a look

[@Lupillo131986]

Hey bud how big is your window? I am currently going to start building my pond but cant decide he ow big. Yours looks a good size i want. Thanks.... Love your pond!!

[@dannycurrie1]

The glass is 1000mm X 400mm if I'm honest, if I could do it again I'd have made it bigger

@@dannycurrie1 ok thanks for the reply mate!....

[@andrewkanis3383]

can you explain what appears to be double glass versus a thicker glass?

[@dannycurrie1]

Double laminated glass is stronger than a single thicker panel. The glass I've used in mine is 2x 12mm thick glass panels laminated together

[@mattjackson8439]

how many tubes of sealant did you use in the end?

[@dannycurrie1]

Think it was 5

[@asterixborden-koi6881]

Hi Dan looks good m8 what size is the glass and thickness please

[@dannycurrie1]

Thanks mate. The glass is 1000mmx400mm 25.5mm thick. From Tuffx. I could have used thinner glass but I wanted it to sit flush with the insulation

[@asterixborden-koi6881]

@@dannycurrie1 No M8 I don’t think you could have gone thinner I would be worried about the glass cracking you did the right choice going thick better to be safe than sorry How much did the glass cost and could you give details of where you got it please You are now making me think about a window in my pond 😆

[@dannycurrie1]

@@asterixborden-koi6881 21.5mm would have been fine for that size. Mines an inch thick! Massively over engineered for what I need but like you say better to be safe than sorry. It was from tuffx. Cost £180

[@dannycurrie1]

I'm loving the window. The fish seem to love it too, there always looking out. It was alot of stress sorting it but definitely worth it

[@steventoole897]

[@dannycurrie1]

@@dale643 no it's spot on so far. Not had a single leak since it went in

[@mrgfromoxford8644]

Hey Danny , can you give me some details on the glass please, it looks like 2 panels stuck together?

It's 2 12mm toughened glass panels laminated together. 25.5mm total. It was from tuffx, best to call them and they can talk you through what you need
