Sissy's sock

[tbendl]

Oh lordy you guys had too much fun while I was gone!

Ok I've tortured you enough... Hehe I have some areas of the pond that are too steep for rocks and have some of the liner showing. So I "borrowed" Sissy's sock idea. I took screen, sew, (sew'd sewd'ed??) stitched a little pocket that sits below the water line and acts as a pocket for rocks. It works!! I am so tickled.

haha that's neat

Thank you. I am so happy that this is a solution. I hated looking at the liner at the edge of the water. I am also pretty sure this may be an easier fix for under my waterfall as well..
My family thinks I'm crazy at how happy I get over little things like this.

Seriously you should patent your idea, you could make bazillions!!!! I am going to do this for my trenched stream sides under my bridge and around my skimmer box. Another winter project!

Not my idea, I totally borrowed it from Sissy. She was using the screen for plants, I just changed it around a bit. But RIGHT! It's so easy and I LOVE the look. I used nylon string but may try fishing wire since it will be in the water. The only thing I did which you can't see in the pictures is stitch in darts to make pockets to better hold the rocks. I'll get some better pictures but I think it just solved all my liner issues.

Stick a (sissy) sock in it... Speaking of crazy, clowns riding spiders... Worst nightmare ever.

Just think how dull life must be for the sane ones.

Thanks for all the DIY steps for us. It will be used by many for sure.

Oh, I see! Neat idea @sissy !!!! Would you ever need to use adhesive to hold it in place or is it strictly the weight of the top rocks?

You may want to explain what "darts" are for those not sew inclined.....

Am I sure I was not sent to the psychiatric ward when I joined this forum?

That is a cool idea tho amongst the insanity of it all

You are one creative little ponder!

Post up some pictures from a distance so I can see how it looks in full effect.

Thanks!
