pond feature ideas help(bricky advise)

[bro]

right all my mam has just bought one of these wature blades to add to the pond as a nice feature,being near to the edge a straight wall would be too unstable so was thinking of building in into a pillar type wall.i will be attempting it myself as i want to do it,i had a good look on the net to see if there was any other ideas with this but didnt find many,it dont have to be a wall,,,sleepers etc etc etc and not to dear,this cost enough on its own with stuff lol

you still not done this yet mate?

just do it in a nice brick and do it like a cavity wall so you can get the cables and water tupes up to the pump/blades etc.

decided on doing a rectangular wall sort of 8 bricks roughly long and 4 wide to give it more stability as it needs to be near edge of pond as possible,would that be ok,also how deep would footing need to go with bricks being roughly 8 high and what mix would footing need

this looks a really useful site mate...hope it helps water feature ideas

 

[bro]

cheers mate,already bought the wature feature here Stainless Steel Water Blades just got to build the wall now :roflmao:

just build on top of the slab thats there, a mix of 4:1 is a good ratio mate, 4 sand 1 cement and a bit of washing up liquid/feb to make it stick

 

[bro]

slab overhanging the pond buy about 2 inches and they are thin,,,,so took them out to put some footing down.question is how deep if wall will be about 7ish bricks high,,,,,,,,thought you are a spark anyway ya bum

lol me dads a builder and learnt some tricks of him
try laying a couple of concrete blocks flat, 2-3 layers, obv them below ground level

 

[bro]

something like this but square without the middle bit cut out as the feature i have has a back feed and not a bottom one
