Stone pond constructed may 2011 at Blackhill, near Consett, Co. Durham.
I really should have taken some footage of the stages involved in the pond construction as there were alot of different skills used during building.
The pond is approx. 2.7m x 2.7m (9' x 9') with a curved front and is approx. 0.6m (2') deep. The wall which acts as a raised bed to house the cascade is made of a blobkwork wall (over a concrete foundation) faced with selected walling stone.
The top of the wall is made from walling stone which has been hand cut to act as coin stones which would normally be found on a dry stone wall. The wall is secured with cement at the back of the stones (so cement can't be seen) which gives the wall the 'dry stone' effect. The vertical capping stones are secured with cement.
Pump for cascade ia a Pondtec 2500 which is rated at 2500 litres per hour.
Filter pump is an Oase Filtral 5.000 - see review of this filter in my pond playlist.
