Plastic pond for summer residence

For those who are going to use the holiday village exclusively for recreation, information on the arrangement of a decorative plastic pond will be useful. It will decorate the territory no worse than the Alpine hill, and the process of installation and decoration usually tightens up and turns out to be quite simple.

How to install a plastic pond?

The whole installation process will be divided into several basic stages:

1. Before installing a plastic pond, you should determine the choice of location. Usually small water bodies make out near recreation areas and near the house. We just put the finished plastic structure on the ground and outline its contours. With an allowance of 15 centimeters dig out along the contour of the depression exactly at the height of the first level (allowance for height 15 cm). Then we do the same for the second level.
2. The walls of the finished pit for the installation of a plastic pond are thoroughly cleaned from the roots of plants, stones and other elements, then we compact and pour sand on the bottom of the pit. The sand should be so much that the plastic mold is exactly at the level with the surface. Do not forget to control the work level.
3. After installation, all the cracks are also covered with sand, in parallel watering it with water. At this point, we pour water into the container and thus control the horizontal position.
4. In a day almost certainly the sand will shrink and the garden plastic pond will fall a little. It will be necessary to add sand again and compact. Once the design takes its place, you can start decorating.

Decorative plastic ponds for cottages: decoration process

The first usually decorate the edges of a plastic pond for cottages. Here everything depends on the overall style on your site. Tile, brick or stone look alike. Sometimes they just plant lawn grass all around the perimeter. But here it is important to take care of it properly, as a lack of moisture often leads to the drying and yellowing of the grass.

Demand is a plastic pond with a fountain. The effect of the natural reservoir is provided by two pumps: one is installed on the bottom of the reservoir, the second is masked and located nearby. Fountains are often decorated with highlights.

A plastic pond for a dacha usually becomes the center of an entire composition of plants, stones or other natural elements. Very spectacular looking fish in the pond, but then you have to take care of the pumps and aerators. In addition to decorative functions, some plants also perform a number of auxiliary functions. For example, hornwort or Canadian elodea will help to avoid the flowering of water during intense heat. In the autumn-winter period, the garden plastic pond requires even more careful care: all leaves and garbage are removed immediately, for the winter it is possible to cover the entire structure and pre-scoop water.
