Building a water garden with waterfall

[Timber]

After the carpet is in place I used sand for the final shaping before putting the liner down. Last fall when the ground was solid I had 3 truck loads of beach sand delivered. Now that the horses are gone I decided to take the paddock and turn it into beach area with Volleyball and Horse Shoes. I used a generous amount sand to shape and smooth the bottom

Looking real good. Do you have any plans for a mechanical and/or bio filter. What type of fish are you thinking?

 

[Timber]

I am planning on 5 butterfly coi. I have had other water gardens in the past with to many fish so this time I am learning from experience. I will be running 2 Bio filters and a strait Hayward pool pump for waterfall volume.

Awesome job and thanks for doing such a thorough documentation. It's going to be great!

Bottom drains are nice to have, until they fail.
I hope you pressure tested it.
