Hi everyone
I have just joined this forum and was challenged by EdVet to evidence the biocenis baskets that i said were my next project.
Well this is not it - yet! I thought I'd show the preliminary build up both for dramatic impact and to wear you into submission.
I have had a pool everywhere I've lived since age 12 when I found some frogspawn and dug my first puddle with some greenhouse polythene and its gone from there. Generations of tadpoles have travelled with me all over the country since.
We had recently dramatically downsized and naturally like all new householders needed to knock old walls out and put new ones somewhere else.
The idea was that the outside the extension would be a terrace and so anywater feature would need to fit a small area and and suit a formal setting. It had to take a fountain as I bought that for Mrs Logan as a wedding present.
You can see the pool in the corner of the garden in its final stages of constructionfrom blocks and bricks i had left over from the extension.
It's an acute version of (not quite) 90 Degrees and about 1.8 metres sides with a curved front wall - my first time building a curve so not quite the radius I hoped for.Its approx 20+ inches deep and hold around 500 gallons.
We fitted the fountain before filling for ease of access to position and level.
Ill add more detail of what next when I locate the photos, assuming of course there's interest meanwhile Im off to get some cat litter.
Regards
Ian
