Hi!
Reading this forum helped quite a bit last year when I build my little pond. But, now I've a question that I can't really find a specific answer for.
I want to expand my pond a bit by adding a short stream and another pond at the end of the stream. I'm using rubber liners, and all of the information I've found regarding the splicing of these sorts of liners involves splicing ones that aren't part of an existing pond. So, I've been sitting in my office trying to figure out what to do...
I know that if I elevate the stream above the old pond and the second pond above the stream then I won't need to splice the liners. I'm willing to go this route if need be, however I'd prefer it if the stream were to act as a passage-way for the fish. Is it possible, without potentially harming the integrity of, or the life inside, the pond, to splice the existing liner to another? Or, is there another way I can create enough of a seal so as to prevent significant water leakage (or soil seeping into the water)?
