New Pond

PS3 so the liner is at ground level and you have stacked stones just to create a wall?

if you are going to go above ground
it would be wise to use mortared blocks
I went up 24" on my raised pond

so if I was going above ground by a foot and the deep end was 3 feet below ground and the shallow was 2 feet. do I need to do mortared cinder block 3 feet the full outline or follow the depth since it would step up from 3 to 2 to 1 foot below the ground.

My pond is 2 feet on one side and 3 feet on the other. We went about 9 inches above ground.
We used some of the dirt that we dug out for the pond and used it to build the 9 inches. Hubby used one of those tapper things to pound the dirt down hard. The liner goes up over it and we used slate on top. Them went around the outside with pavers.

looks nice sunshine,
what hardware do you have running?
filter, pump. etc.

 

[Sunshine]

Thanks Philly ... I have a 600 GPH pump running the veggie filter. A 4500 GPH running the Bio filter. And a 500 GPH split between the spitting frog and trickle tower. They all have ball valves on them to adjust the flow.

 

[phillyofish]

what is a veggie filter?

 

[DrDave]

In short, it is using plants to filter the water.

Could I build a 4' long by 2' wide by 30" high box out of PT 2x6 s with liner inside? i would feed it to the waterfall basin.
