Beautifully decorated reservoir in the country can be your favorite place. Make it not very difficult, you need to be patient. First of all, we define the shape and dimensions to select the material required. In shops now sell plastic preparations for a pond. Here any old capacity, for example, a basin, which you have not used for a long time, can perfectly suit. Or a baby bath if the children have already grown up. You can adjust the old enamel bath provided that you have purchased a new one. Even a tire from a large wheel can come in handy.
Having decided with the question "what to do", proceed to the next. How to make a pond in the country, not having anything but your hands? We begin to prepare the place where the pond will be located. To drown the chosen form, it is necessary to dig a pit. Its dimensions depend on the auxiliary material that you decided to use. If it is a small pelvis, then it is best to hide it in a flower bed. For the bath you need to dig a large hole to completely hide. If you use a tire, it's enough to dig it up to the middle.
The reservoir in the country house can be equipped without a ready-made container. So he even turns out to be more interesting, because he can be given any form. After preparing the pit, we will pour in a little sand to make a pillow. Then we cover the entire interior with a film, so that it fits tightly around the edges of the pit. Fix the ends on the surface with stones and pour a little water. The film should lie flat and completely take the shape of the excavated pit. When using an old plastic bathtub, it is also better to protect it, especially if it has cracks.
The next step, which needs to be done, creating a reservoir in the country, is to strengthen the shore. It is better to use cobblestones that are found on the site. They are necessary for fixing the edge of the film. If there were no stones nearby, use wooden blocks. They can be drunk of different heights. So it will be even more interesting.
An artificial reservoir at the dacha can be inscribed in a landscape with a rockery or grotto. Lay out a beautiful wall and run your home waterfall. When choosing a place to equip a pond, try not to have large trees nearby. Otherwise, you will often have to clean the pond from the fallen leaves. Having encircled the shore with stones, we pour water. Now you need to think about the plant world of your pond: what flowers to plant and how to design a pond. You can buy ready-made figures of ducks or other animals. But if you make from plastic bottles of frogs and herons, it will be quite good, and even very cute. Using unnecessary trash, you further clean and decorate your territory.
Leaving for the winter a reservoir in the country, it is better to drain the water out of it. Otherwise it will freeze and can damage your work. Large ponds can stand the winter with water, but only plants, most likely, will have to be planted again. It is unlikely that they will hibernate in an open area. If the size of the plot allows, then you can dig a small pool. Its walls are finished with cement and tiles. Above the pool it is better to install a light roof, which can be removed when there is no water. And if you think about the option of heating the entire tank, then in the winter you can swim.
