Hello!
I am planning a small rectangular water basin next to the terrace.
At first, I wanted to use a prefabricated plastic basin, but it would have to be partially buried. Otherwise, it would be too unstable and would need additional support.
Option 1:
Place a PE (polyethylene) prefabricated pond at the desired location. However, I can only half-bury it because the substructure for the wooden decking still requires some build-up. I might also set some edging stones in concrete around it for stabilization.
Option 2:
Build with shuttering blocks, reinforce, and pour concrete. For this, I would need a pond liner, and I have no idea if I can install it wrinkle-free in a rectangular basin. It’s definitely more work, and I don’t have much time… plus, there’s still a lot to do in the garden… 😀
Option 3:
Use shuttering blocks and instead of a liner, work with a two-component waterproofing slurry. For this, I would have to pour a concrete base slab. Everything would have to be perfectly level to get the final height right. I’m not a landscaper, so this seems quite demanding for me.
I’m leaning towards option 1. It also allows more adjustments if things don’t turn out as I imagine. Once the wall is concreted, it’s much harder to change.
Does anyone have another idea?

and I have little time..There will be more opportunities next year as well. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. You have built a beautiful house, including the conservatory, and now the terrace too. For now, just set up the lounge chair and enjoy your work in its current stage of progress. Don’t waste the whole summer rushing; it doesn’t have to be perfect overnight.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

daniels8716 Jun 2018 20:34Thanks, you're absolutely right. But somehow I'm still a bit frustrated since we managed very little last year due to work and the weather.
This year, I just wanted to get the area around the terrace roughly finished. :-)
I’ve now spontaneously decided on the PE prefabricated pond.
