Ep4. Install Pond Liner and Seal Folds In Fish Pond
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2021
- Finally I am able to complete installation of epdm firestone pond liner and it is the fourth upload in my 'Backyard Garden Pond' series. I must admit it requires a lot of patience to install a pond liner and remove or hide or seal the liner folds. Practicing on paper doesn't help much and a liner inside a rectangular pond makes it even hard. But nothing better than completing it properly with a peace of mind that no debris will be trapped behind large folds in the liner and there won't be any dead spots in the liner of the backyard fish pond.
This video will show you how I have installed 1.1mm epdm firestone pond liner and how I have folded the corners in my fish pond. Liner taping is very important to build a best backyard garden pond as it prevents big folds of liner coming out from the sides of a fishpond. I made 4 large folds in the corners of the pond. I have used firestone quick prime 250ml to prepare the surface, a double sided quickseam splice tape and singe sided quickseam formflash tape to completely seal the folds. The way I tapped the corners might not look professional but it does the job as you can see how clean my backyard garden pond looks from the inside.
During the liner installation process, I managed to get the glass IN too. I will upload a separate video on how to make a frame and install a glass in a pond. But for now if you want to cover all the small details on preparing and installing pond liner then read my article on fishaholic here www.fishaholic.net/2021/09/in...
This is not the best garden pond in the backyard but I have put in quite a lot of hours and energy into building this pond. I really hope you will enjoy this video and might inspire some of you to build your own above ground fish pond. Please let me know your views in the comment section below and share this video if you find it useful and informative.
Thank You

Thank you Martyn

Thank you Tommy
Next level job mate 👍
Thank you Rafael, it is my first and may be last fish pond with glass. Cost too much lol
@@Fishaholic
I’m going to make one next year for my baby koi and goldfish I have in my fish tank
And I can see cost 💲 you use good material
Getting ideas 💡 from you’re videos thank for that 👍👍
Koi will look amazing in the pond, how big is the baby koi? And how big are your goldfish.
I had 18 to 25cm goldfish which I traded for large angelfish
@@Fishaholic
My kois
I have some 8 to 10 and my bigger is 18 cm
And my goldfish the biggest is 14cm I think no 100% sure
I have them in a 260l fish tank
And next year if everything is ok I’m going to do my pong
How many litres is the fish pond you made ?
Your fish will grow big fast once they are moved to a pond. My pond is around 2500 liter, couldn't go bigger due to space constraints.
Wow, fantastic.
Thanks heaps mate
Seen a lot of videos on this ,like your take the best.looking forward to follow up on how it's doing thanks neil
Hi Neil, appreciate your feedback. Pond is doing well, I have built an overhead filter and have few Oranda goldfish in the pond. It's winter over here so waiting on spring to come so I could add some plants and more fish.
very nice
Thank you Amanda
Great work. I am thinking of making a structure out of interlock bricks, I will install the liner inside the bricks and fill it with water and put in a 1000gpm pump for a fountain and maybe add some fish.
Sounds like a big pond project Daljeet, I have only built pond using wood and liner so don't know how complex it could be with bricks. Wish you all the best 👍
This video was great! Do you have a video on how you installed the laminated glass?
The next episode is on installing the glass. I believe there are 7 episodes in total
how did you bend the folds and make them unsean ?
Need to add the glass vid I'm having real issues for 2 years now trying to seal my glass
Saw your comment on the other video. I'm glad you found it. Just my way of how I have installed the glass.
Nice job brother enjoy the build! How many litres is the pond? How much does it cost to built something like that?
Hi Joey, its 2500 liter pond, kept it small so I could have space for outdoor furniture. Cost is roughly 3,500 as it is and will have to spend atleast another grand for electrical work, pump, lights and filter.
@@Fishaholic in our country we can get a whole 10k litre pond built with cement for 1000$😒
Thats very cheap compared to here.
@@Fishaholic yeah things are over priced in the US but i love US
nice video i am wondering if you used the primer why do you need to seam the folds. I would have thought the primer is sealing the folds for you.
Hi mate, It does but I just went over the board with everything on this pond to make it last for years. Thank you
looking good, really like the idea of the window. I'm too lazy for all that work though, so just bought a 1000l poly water trough for a fish pond. what fish are planning to stock it with ?
Thanks Ivan, it will be a while till I add any fish as I haven't built a filter for pond. Waiting on COVID restrictions to ease so I could get an electrician to do wirings. What fish do you have in your pond? I am thinking more of adding some fancy goldfish.
@@Fishaholic i went with a couple of oscars and some clown loaches
Is it an indoor pond? Your fish will be extremely happy in such a massive body of water.
What if we seal the wood with fiberglassing instead of using a liner?
Wood has the tendency to expand and shrink due to moisture and dry external factors. I have not use fiberglass so not sure if it will work.
More detail possibly on the method to folding?
Folding was by far the hardest task in the overall built.
We have water
Yea finally, will give it couple of weeks to see how it goes.
I don't blame you, I imagine there nervous moments
@@AfricanCichlids I was very nervous when I was filling the pond with water. It is my first proper pond build and adding a glass was bit concerning. So far everything seems good, no leakage.
whats the measurements on the windom and on the pond?
Hi mate, dims of window glass are 141 x 62 cm (LxH). It's a 25mm toughen laminated glass.
You skipped the whole window installation…which is the entire reason I watched all these videos. 🤦🏻♀️
Hi Kelly, apologies for not adding steps for installing a window in this video. I do have a separate video on it.
Box welded liner. 😳
Would be good to get hands on it. It was a struggle to find someone around my area and cost was just too much.
I would love a viewing window , but everything that I build either goes green or leaks.🫣
Mine went green and then brown but finally it all cleared up. I guess it takes time for the ecosystem to develop and then pond looks after itself
I have same problem can't get box welded liner in Australia have to do the same very hard.. I am struggling with mine at the moment trying to find myself the correct sealant to use between my Perspex viewing panel and the rubber liner.. if anyone noes what to use would appreciate your help!
