There's a pond out of that tire! To create my cozy pond, I needed a wheel from a K-700 tractor.

Place under the pond must be dug and concreted. Its depth should be such that the tire looks out of it. Before you lay the tire, level the surface of the pad inside the pit. Inside, it is better to paint the pond with blue paint, and outside green. When the paint dries, fill it with water.

The pond didn't come out big, but my husband and I have enough to dip in after the steam room. Then, by the way, a few more days watering the garden from this wheel. Then we clean the pond, we pour new water, and voila, we can dive again.

To create a fountain from a bathtub with your own hands, the container can be dug into the ground or left on the surface, hiding the walls with the help of wooden slats or stonework.

To begin with, you need to dig a notch in the shape of plumbing so that the bathtub rises 10 centimeters above the surface of the earth. In the place where the siphon for draining water will be located, you need to delve 40 centimeters, organizing a drainage well of stones, sand and geotextiles.

The bottom of the bed of the reservoir should be covered with a layer of coarse sand of 10 centimeters. Install the bath, closing the overflow and drain hole with removable plastic linings, fill the cavities formed around it with sand, pouring it with water and tamping. Decorate the bathtub You can use a stone or a mosaic, see how you like it.

A small pump must be placed at the bottom of the tank. Cover it with large stones, and attach a nozzle for the fountain on top. Fill the pond with water so that it completely covers the pump. The area around the homemade pond can be filled with small rubble and decorate with large boulders, decorative figures, plant moisture-loving plants in containers.

? A fountain in an old bathtub with your hands? To create a fountain from a bathtub with your own hands, the container can be dug into the ground or left on the surface, hiding the walls using wooden slats or stonework. Technology of organization of the fountain in a deep container: ► Dig a notch in the form of plumbing so that the bath is 10 centimeters above the surface of the earth. In the place where the siphon for draining water will be located, delve 40 centimeters, organizing a drainage well of stones, sand and geotextiles. Lining the bottom of the bed of the reservoir with a layer of coarse sand in 10 cm. Install the bath, closing the overflow and drain hole with removable plastic linings, fill the cavities formed around it with sand, pouring it with water and tamping. Decorate the surface of the bath according to your own idea (stone, mosaic). Place a small pump at the bottom of the tank, cover it with large stones, and attach a nozzle for the fountain on top. Install containers with aquatic plants and fill the mini pond with water so that it completely covers the pump. Place around a homemade pond to fill with small rubble and decorate large boulders, decorative figures, plant moisture-loving plants in containers. Decoration of the inner surface of the bath: ? Paint in a dark blue color, visually deepening the man-made pond. Give the walls a natural texture, smearing them with a layer of cement glue with the addition of mineral colored pigments (powder or liquid). Place a mosaic over the entire surface of the plumbing or paste it with pieces of crushed stone or pebbles. Cover the bottom and walls with a decorative film for water bodies. So that the water does not rot 1 time in 10 days, add 2 tablespoons of the usual "White", stirring. This disinfects the water and allows it not to become turbid and rotten. In such a large volume of water, there is no chlorine odor at all. So we decontaminate our 5-meter pool!

And such a pond appeared in the country of my neighbors during the period of self-isolation. Everything was done with their own hands, and the old corner bath found a new life.

Are all ages submissive? Pregnant Zoya Viktorovna rearranged the refrigerator from room to kitchen (although she found excellent wheels there), made a pond from a bathtub, plastered it and put stones on a concrete solution, dug up all the beds and greenhouses? My mom was on vacation to care for my grandson for 8 months, came to my house when I rushed to the alarm service at 6 a.m., took Alice 1.5 km to the kindergarten in the cold? My grandmother, after the Great Patriotic War, at the age of 12, paved the roads with cobblestones together with other children, in her youth she dug a pit for the house by hand, now frying pancakes early in the morning to her misfit grandson? But things will be different now. We'll learn to rest. Take care of yourself. We can rest without remorse. Do we like to spoil ourselves? Will our loved ones understand, support and even praise us? Aren't we really hopeless? P.S. The stones inside the pond are still there. And the water and microorganisms did their job, and the bath inside became darker and more natural.

Water? The most beautiful and the most successful. We installed it a few years ago, in winter we do not remove and do not even pour water, only in spring we pump water from the fountain (since the volume is large) and wash it. Very convenient it is plastic forms that do not deform, do not crack, and do not fade and are perfectly washed. We put a fountain at the bottom, and when it gets boring, we connect a hose on the other side and we get a small waterfall, the water flows down the stones from top to bottom. Nearby, you can put a rocking chair and enjoy the murmur of water and the singing of birds.?️ #water nadache#nature#alpinehill#summer#beauty#children#love#dacha#pond#flowers#waterfall#fishing#relax#selfisolation#2020

And finally, advice: so that the water in the decorative pond does not stagnate, you can add 2 tablespoons of ordinary "White" to it every 10 days. This will help to disinfect the water and will allow it not to become cloudy. In such a large volume of water, the smell of chlorine is not felt.

As you can see, to create a small pond in the country, you do not need to spend a lot of money. An old unnecessary bathtub or tractor wheel, dug into the ground, painted from the inside and covered with bottled stone, will create an effect. reservoir.

Of course, you have to work hard. But the result will definitely justify all the efforts made!
