[@electricgaming9914]

Imma build one to so birds squirrels , deer can drink out of it or frogs , tadpoles, water bugs and what not can live in it . Omg imagine seeing a deer drink from it that would be cool

[@squinteyedmangle]

Nice one.Some brief suggestions----you mentioned sand underneath your liner.Definately do this,or use some old carpet or carpet underlay.You`ll be surprised how small stones,but particularly plant/tree/hedge roots will pierce your liner after awhile.I wouldn`t have put mine so close to a hedge either.

[@LCWDIY]

In one of my first videos I had to dig under that hedge for a new MDPE water pipe and I was surprised to find hardly any deep or big roots from that hedge. Even when I dug that hole there was only a couple of roots and hardly any stones in the ground. I'm pretty confident it will be fine for many years but I understand your concerns and I suppose other people's condition would be different which is why I suggested putting the sand down if they had more stones than me. 👍

A simple and cool pond design 😃

[@LCWDIY]

Thank you

[@lizlusher]

If your area gets below freezing in the winter that's not going to be deep enough. It needs to be 60cm I believe.

[@bacon6496]

When I bought the liner for mine I didn’t think about that and i ended up digging it 3 foot deep so i had 2 get a bigger liner

[@anafindlay4036]

IS THERE A FOLLOW-UP VIDEO OF HOW THE POND LOOKS ,WITH PLANTS AND THE FINISHED PRODUCT?? AWESOME JOB BY THE WAY ❤️❤️🌿🌿🐝🦋

[@hannaho83]

Lovely! Might try it🤔😉

[@bernadettefeeney5388]

I like the detail on the digging.

[@catherinecleary756]

Nice one will give it a go.

[@jamesandrew8184]

Pond must be at least 18 inches deep if you want to over winter the wildlife such as frogs.

[@RussellCatchpole]

Great video but in my experience, that cheap pond liner will leak in no time. The thick rubber stuff is much better.

[@LCWDIY]

Yes the thicker the better. This one is still fine after 3 years though.

[@microwavedmetal]

Ok now I need one I can swim in 😂

[@dauntae24]

Put an old duvet in the hole before the liner mate.

[@EireFirst2024]

Don't encourage him-he'll go for a sleep in it 😂

[@2DaddyGaming]

That's a good idea to be fair

[@Christionbridges]

Love unity family 🙏🌎🙏

[@ikrammiah6955]

Old carpet or underlay always a good idea you can even cut it up too fit the contours then put the liner in

[@LCWDIY]

Yes if you have some laying around that would be good to cover any sharp objects.

[@jbcortez5813]

nice job

[@Beyondact]

I have one in my garden made by the former owner and its sprung a leak that I can't find about 5-7 cm down from the edge and it means I have exposed blue tarp staring me in the face. Its either drain and retarp or get a solid plastic one, Not keen on either option really.

[@nataliee3259]

I know this is gonna sound like a advertisement but I used flex tape on mine in my previous yard and it actually worked for about a year. Enough time for me to get the motivation to fix it. Just dunked it under the water and taped the hole.

[@KangIkrom]

amazing

[@LCWDIY]

Thank you

[@desireepowers8849]

Keep digging you might find treasure, lol....

[@frankcastle8908]

That's a flathead shovel a " spade " is the pointed one

[@LCWDIY]

I used a spade and a shovel.
