 Inspired by Japanese ornamental pools, to bring a little tranquility to modern life, this freestanding pond will ba a calming factor in any setting. The cool blue of the tiles promotes restfulness and is set off by colourful waterlilies. You can lose hours in contemplation just watching the water and the fish.
Mosaic tiles are quite expensive to buy, so work out the size of your pond and your requirements before you go to buy them; you can order them from swimming-pool suppliers. Make all your dimensions divisible by the size of a tile, including the thickness of the walls of the pond.
The carcass is made from marine plywood, which has waterproof qualities. All the joins are sealed with PVA glue and screwed in place so the pond is secure. Make sure you use swimming-pool adhesive, which is available from specialist shops. You can by waterproof grout from a builders' merchants. |
