A small garden on a hot day, nothing can revive better than a pond. Having decided to create a pond in the country, first you need to decide on its location. It is best to choose the most shaded area of the garden, which does not receive direct sunlight and in which there is no wind. Of course, such conditions are suitable for future inhabitants of the reservoir.
Next, you need to choose the shape of the pond. It can be correct, for example, an oval or a rectangle. But this option is suitable in the case when the landscape of the entire site is sustained in the same lines. A pond that has irregular shapes and the presence of bends in the coastline is more appropriate and looks much more comfortable.
A pond in the country can be of two versions: ready or dug. The first option involves purchasing a fiberglass or plastic lake and installing this product in a pre-made pit. Most people prefer to create a reservoir in the country with their own hands, and this is not surprising, because the finished design has its drawbacks. For example, it is not easy to choose its shape, and then harmoniously fit it into the site, and there is also a problem with decorating it with waterplants and stone lining.
When constructing a makeshift lake in a shaded place, a dense film is used as an insulator, which must be laid all over the pit. Its use is necessary to prevent the soil from sliding into the container. The film can be easily removed for the winter period and replaced, but in this case, the reservoir will not be able to serve for a long time, as it will be destroyed by nature.
It is in this case that the finished structure is much more practical, since its inhabitants can be moved to suitable conditions in winter, and the lake itself can be drained and covered with a film.
There is a pretty good option on how to make a pond in the country with water enriched with oxygen. It can be created using a multi-level bath and a water circulation system - this is how cascades are built. Running water will appeal to the inhabitants of the lake. It is necessary to think about the issue of the compressor device. Such a design can also have special places for arranging plants along level ledges. When placing such a pond in the country, it should be remembered that streams and cascades are in harmony with ponds that have rounded shapes, and waterfalls and fountains are more suitable for geometric containers.
The important point is the location of the lake in the pit. It must be carefully compacted and covered with a layer of sand about five centimeters thick. After the bath is installed and filled with water, it is required to fill the voids on the sides with sand or soil. The final stage of creation is the design of the reservoir. Decorate the pondshould be with the help of plants and launch fish into it. For green spaces, it is necessary to install special devices with earth; without them, the existence of plants will not be long. The pond also needs an external decor, so it's worth using your imagination to make the pond original.
