Nice looking pond. So what is the grate for in the bottom or is it a net.

wow when you said that was a rock face you meant it that is some nice looking rock .That is netting tmann and it looks like you have some splash over from the waterfall .Thats a nice looking natural waterfall reminds of Falling Waters, Frank LLoyd Writes home .Reminds me also of a natural spring up near my families Pennsylvania house .great job it brings back lots of memories for me .May be someone should do a book with pics of some of the ponds on this forum and put what state there in and how different each one is .It looks like it is coming from no where

hi all.my mother in law wants me to do something with her old leaking concrete pond :moped: :razz: littlepond :razz:

 

[taherrmann4]

Does she want you to redo it completely or fix the leak? Is it leaking a lot of water? If not you may just look for the crack or spot of leakeage and seal it up. You could also just put a liner down over the concrete and cut it around the island.

They have that spray on leak fix for concrete .It sealed my bird bath .Not sure I have the can anymore but it would be in the basement and it is rainy and cold out right now .ok it is called sani-tred pond and liner repair and you can google it .It is a concrete sealer and works great to seal a concret pond www.sani-tred.com
