Fed Up!

... snip When I was walking back there it looked funny. We got so much rain I guess the rain washed under the liner and has lifted the thing way up. Its near about to the top with water all underneath it. snip I worry about this in the new pond I am installing. I am contemplating laying a small piece of PVC in the bottom of the hole under the liner, and let it run under the liner up and out the edge of the pond, so if water gets under the liner, it would have an escape route. Any thoughts from the group? BV. |

BV,
Did water stay in the hole all winter? If not, then you have adequate subsurface drainage to control the floating liner. If you did, then I think I would add the pipe as a just in case. Won't cost much. One or two lengths of pipe and an elbow. -- RichToyBox http://www.geocities.com/richtoybox/pondintro.html "BenignVanilla" wrote in message ...

First, let me say I am a jack-arse...I didn't remember I posted this question already, and in a follow up to another thread, I posted it this morning, again. Sorry group. The water has not stayed in the hole all winter, but after a rain fall, it will stay for a few days. And by few I mean more then 1, but less then x, as I have not measured. I figured for the cost of the pipe, it would be a nice insurance policy, and I don't see how it could be a detriment. BV. |

Fill all with large stone - this will give the water a place to drain. -- Bonnie NJ http://home.earthlink.net/~maebe43/ |
