Absolutely beautiful, beautifully made ❤

[@COOL_DAD]

Very nice. What's the black coating you used?

[@colinrothwell7963]

what size block dis you use

[@thekartman1]

Yes just a day that's all .filled it up the next day had no problems with it at all.much better than a liner

[@kimuseni]

Very nice build.

[@TheNapalmDuo]

Really nice pond. Which stones did you use finally for the sides?

[@thekartman1]

Hi it's called flow coat it's part of the fiberglass process

[@freshwateraquatics5567]

Hey mate! What was the black stuff you put, and thats waterproof!? Unbelievable, so awesome, got to dot that!

[@thekartman1]

It's called flowcoat it's part of the fibreglassing process

@@thekartman1 thank you so much.

[@markirish7599]

Is the pond still up and running

[@thekartman1]

Yes still doing well

[@stuartcox1884]

hi could you point me in the right direction on what you used to fibre glass the pond and where to purchase thanks

[@thekartman1]

Hello it's just the same as what's used for roofing. so just Google location closest to you that sell fiberglass and they will set you straight. Hope this helps you

[@MrSam-mg5ut]

You should add glass on the side wall

[@thekartman1]

I did think about it. But I know someone with that it takes a lot of cleaning

[@barrywaite5975]

Hi, so you dont HAVE to screed/rende inside before fiberglassing then ?

[@thekartman1]

Yes I did 👍

[@eddwiggins4383]

Did the fiberglass detach from the cement after about 2.5 years? I've tried fiberglass several times and it always fails in the Florida sun

[@thekartman1]

No not yet still all good

[@Technologyadvisor1]

how did you address ground water coming into the pond from below?

[@thekartman1]

I haven't 🤷‍♂️

[@TWOWHEELFIX]

[@thekartman1]

thanks

[@im_ismaeel]

Nice job ..really...

[@mattplank6439]

Hi mate, great video and pond. I'm looking to start mine, can I ask did you fibreglass straight onto the soil in the middle of your pond mate? Thanks very much if you can get back to me

[@thekartman1]

No mate I skimmed it over with concrete it's worked well

[@mattplank6439]

@@thekartman1 cheers buddy. Yours is very similar to what I am looking to do. Thanks for letting me know bud. Nice one

[@thekartman1]

No problem mate hope it all works out for you

[@keiron4897]

@@thekartman1 hi have did you seal the render with sealer before fibreglassing or did you just resin straight onto the render

[@thekartman1]

@@keiron4897 I just fiberglass over the rendering then added the flow coat👍

[@bonsiatreesseedsandplantsf4812]

Great job.one questions did u let the fibreglass dry before adding the flow coat thanks for video

[@virtualasmr2341]

Hello, Just thanking you for this video. I've actually used this as a template for my build and at the stage of skimming the sod. Could I ask what mix of concrete did you use to skim the trench pre- fibreglassing? I take its sharpe sand and cement? What parts did you use? Thanks.

[@thekartman1]

Hi 4 sand to 1 cement hope it all works out would love to see it 👍

[@virtualasmr2341]

@@thekartman1 Thank you. I'm on that in the morning.

[@virtualasmr2341]

Hi again. Skimming done, next step is to Fibreglass. I see loads of pond kits which are quite a lot of money. Is it best to buy separately. Ie, glass rolls, resin, brushes, rollers, catalyst and top coat paint?. Any tips?.. many thanks

[@thekartman1]

@@virtualasmr2341 I purchased a garage roof kit worked out cheaper for me

[@virtualasmr2341]

[@trewball1]

Price?

[@frankiepitt9135]

Rude!

[@MsIstria]

Bravo très joli

[@ANDY-we7mr]

nice pond shame its not bigger

[@thekartman1]

It would be if I had room but it's doing just fine anyway

[@shafraz.basheer]

One question do u need a water proofing coat after the Fiber Glass ??? Or can I use only the water proofing to cement and avoid the Fiber

[@thekartman1]

Without the fiber it's not as strong the last coat is called flow coat the fiber is needed

[@grzegorzkowalczyk685]

Great job mate, just quick question, I like your pond, do I need planning permission in UK to build pond like yours. ? Thanks

[@thekartman1]

The best people to approach would be the planning department at your local council. They would advise you on current regs.

[@craynerd]

Not at all! No planning needed. It's a pond!

[@OmniversalInsect]

@@craynerd what if you hit a pipe

[@peteon4wheels627]

Yes you do, go and see them in planning mate, Villa black was made to fill her pond in OK, just go and ask.

[@KoiTimeUSA]
