A pond? You want to build a what?

Enjoy these ponds.  Some were created by professional installers while others were created by home owners too.  In both cases, the ponds all look great and one can definitely see that a lot of heart was put into them as well.

 

WEDDING CAKE FOUNTAIN
This original piece is a wedding cake style fountain that has been constructed of concrete formed sections.  Each section is bolted into place and then Pond Shield Gray was used in conjunction with fiberglass tape to seal the completed unit.  After all was cured, the epoxy was abraded and then black glass tiles were set in place.  This way the waterproof barrier was installed first in order to preserve the natural beauty of the tile itself.  See more HERE.


CUSTOM 5000 GALLON ARAPAIMA GIGAS TANK
This custom tank was built to house large fish.  The tank body was created using concrete block, sealed with Competition Blue Pond Shield.  Afterwards the acrylic windows were put in place with a stainless steel frame using a combination of Pond Shield epoxy and a special Dow Corning silicone.  The same method was used for all of the filtration pipes coming through the walls.  See more HERE.


ARIZONA SWIMMING POOL
Pond Shield epoxy can also be used on swimming pools too.  It is completely compatible with chlorine as well as many other chemicals.  In this instance, the home owner coated the entire pool with Sky Blue Pond Shield as a contrasting color against the tile trim work at the top of the pool.  See more HERE.


BLACK SLATE TILE POND
In this situation, the owner wanted a more formal looking pond and chose black slate tile.  Since the slate is porous to begin with it was decided that Pond Shield Clear would be used as the final coating to completely seal all of the tile.  Any coating that was exposed above the water line was scuffed with a red Scotchbrite pad to dull the coating and give the final finish a more natural look.  See more HERE.


LARGE Y-SHAPED POND/LAKE
This particular Y-shaped pond is about 12,000 square feet, just about the size of a small man-made lake.  Because the surface area was so large and mostly uneven, it was decided to spray Pond Shield Tan in order to lay down a more even coat.  The black pipe you see running through the pond is actually a city run off line that allows properties above this one to channel run off into sewers well below this property.  The pipe, being black, stood out and a special primer was mixed that would allow Pond Shield to permanently bond to the pipe thereby minimizing its appearance.  See more HERE.


HILLSIDE DOUBLE WATERFALL POND
This pond was constructed on a hillside with two water falls feeding the main body of the pond.  The top right waterfall feed is actually a narrow basin about four and a half feet deep.  The owner of this pond had used a latex type of coating that didn't last very long.  Since being prepped and surfaced with Pond Shield epoxy, he has not had any troubles.  The basins were coated with Tan Pond Shield and and submerged rock formations were coated with Clear Pond Shield.  See more HERE.


INTERESTING POND & FIREPLACE
This is one of the more unique uses of both a pond and a fireplace.  If you look at the pictures closely, you'll see that the water is channeled through the fireplace.  That's right!  Through the fireplace, where it is then spilled into the main body of the pond and finally channeled through a small spillway back to where it starts all over again.  See more HERE.


SKY BLUE TRI-BASIN POND
This pond had a constant leak problem mostly where each basin connected to the waterfall over flows.  There were also some leaking issues around the drain pipes in the bottom basin.  The basins were coated with Sky Blue Pond Shield and the rock formations with Clear Pond Shield to retain a natural look.  See more HERE.


COMPETITION BLUE TRI-BASIN POND
The concrete walls and floor of this pond were poured at different time which created a cold joint at those seams.  This crew here is using a technique that combines strips of fiberglass wetted out over those cold joint seams to increase the strength properties of the coating.  In this way they have ensured that any extra movement in the structure will be absorbed by the fiberglass/Pond Shield combination.  See more HERE.


FAUX STONE POND
Sometimes ponds use construction methods that can be deceiving.  In this case, the pond was constructed from Gunnite and the stone cap around the edges was actually shaped and painted faux stone that was formed when the Gunnite was shot in.  The owner chose to coat the interior of the pond and waterfall with Black Pond Shield and then coat the faux stone with Clear Pond Shield.  See more HERE.


UNDER-DECK GROTTO
This unique pond was build under the deck of a home that was built on the side of a mountain.  The waterfall area sheets down on the left side of the pond and travels through a stream bed above and to the right, finally emptying into the other side of the pond.  See more HERE.


LINER REPLACEMENT WITH POND SHIELD PROJECT
The owner of this pond was just plain having problems with the liner for this pond.  The pond was designed for the confined space in which it resides, which meant the liner ended up being just too bulky for the pond after it was installed.  The folds and wrinkles definitely took away from the over-all beauty of the pond.  The situation was corrected by removing the liner and sealing it with Black Pond Shield.  See more HERE.


CANTILEVERED POND
A combination for wanting a pond and formal landscaping was the driving force behind this unique pond.  As you look through the pictures, pay close attention to the mirrored material under the cantilevered edge of the pond.  It makes the pond look as though it goes under the house.  See more HERE.


SMALL CONCRETE POND
This concrete pond needed to sealed.  The home owner chose to coat it with Black Pond Shield all the way up to the bottom of the trim rocks at the top.  See more HERE.


LITTLE SPANISH STYLE FOUNTAIN
This little Spanish style fountain needed a lot of attention and that's just what the home owner gave it.  There were cracks on the inside and outside and the center pedestal needed work as well.  Once everything was fixed on the fountain, some nice blue glazed tile was added at the inside top as an accent and the rest of the fountain was coated with Pond Shield Clear.  The outside was cleaned up and it was finally ready for water.  See more HERE.


ODD SHAPED POND
Another concrete pond where the idea was to use a smooth coating in conjunction with the rounded edges to produce better water flow throughout the pond.  The concrete was etched and then Black Pond Shield was applied up to the bottom of the cap stone.  See more HERE.


BUBBLING LINER PROBLEMS
If you look in the bottom center of the pond, the line has begun to bubble up towards the top of the water.  This liner was in such bad shape that water and trapped air had gotten behind it, causing problems.  The repair was facilitated with a combination of Pond Shield epoxy and Polyurea.  See more HERE.


LINER TO ROCK BRIDGE
One of our installers came across a very unique situation where there was no way to attach the existing pond liner around the top of this boulder and effectively get it to seal.  We devised a plan to double fold the liner underneath a piece of stainless steel strap that then sandwiched the liner to the rock.  The stainless steel strap was then bolted firmly to the boulder using stainless steel anchors.  Once everything was set, Pond Shield was applied to the stainless steel and a bridge using both Pond Shield and fiberglass mat was applied.  The bridge covered both the stainless steel and overlapped onto the boulder by an inch or so.  See more HERE.


LITTLE FOUNTAIN UPGRADE
The owner of this fountain was very disappointed with the fact that it would not stop leaking.  Another home owner who had previously used Pond Shield on his pond recommended that she seal her fountain using the same materials he used.  He went right to work and cleaned up her fountain, installed some new hardware and now she's as happy as can be.  See more HERE.


LARGE CONCRETE POND
Not too much is known about this pond other than the owner wished to keep fish in a very large environment.  It's coated with Pond Shield Black and the work was performed by Down to Earth Landscapes in Raleigh, NC.  See more HERE.


LITTLE NATURAL POND
This natural little pond was created by Southern Ponds and Water Gardens.  Pond Shield clear was used to seal the waterfall areas.  See more HERE.


LITTLE BACKYARD WATERFALL
A great use of space can be seen here with this corner waterfall that spills off into a narrow pond basin at the bottom.  Pond Shield was used to seal the rock and the basin.  See more HERE.


DUAL STONE POND
This pond has been constructed on both sides of the driveway giving the entranceway a unique look.  See more HERE.


CHURCH WATER FEATURE
A true labor of love and an honor to design and build the two entry water features of this 24 million dollar facility for the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma. The rockwork was hand-sculpted and modeled after actual out-cropping throughout the nations largest Youth Camp. Each feature has 8-10 waterfalls cascading into the splash free pool below. Part of our challenge was to create the illusion of bringing the outside in. We fabricated 16' tall custom trees that replicated a native species found on property. The smaller foliage also reflected the native under-plantings. The foliage is from our line of theme plants that we utilize in aquariums and museum water settings. The plants are anchored to prevent damage but can be removed for future change outs.  See more HERE.


INSIDE/OUTSIDE POND
This unique pond travels from the outside of the house to the inside right along the entrance walkway.  Once inside the house a water wall channels water from the filtration system back into the pond.  See more HERE.


SMALL NATURAL POND
Garrett Maul from A Healthy Pond created this little beauty.  He used Pond Shield Black to coat the surface of the main basin and then used natural rock and foliage to enhance the over all look.  See more HERE.


REPAIRING A CONCRETE POND
Ray from Robinson Engineering took on the task of repairing this older concrete pond.  A new shell complete with wire mesh was sprayed in and then finally coated with both Pond Shield Gray in the basin and Clear on the waterfall.  See more HERE.


POND ADDITION
This pond was built as an addition by a homeowner seeking to expand his hobby.  You can see him there spending time working the concrete until he got it just the way he liked it.  It was then coated with Pond Shield Black and his fish love their new home.  See more HERE.


WINDOWED POND
Ever thought about building a pond with a window in it?  So did this homeowner.  He laid out his basic design and then went to work creating a pond that comes complete with a waterfall and a window for viewing the fish, or are the fish viewing him?.  See more HERE.


DECK POND
This pond was already in service but had some problems.  The homeowner and his son set out to correct the problems and seal it up with Pond Shield Black.  The top portion of this pond is capped with natural stone that remains partially submerged.  Pond Shield clear was used on those areas of the rock to form a complete seal.  See more HERE.


LONG BACKYARD POND
This pond is truly one of those nice features that enhance the over all look of a backyard.  This home owner created a very nice waterfall that rounds a corner and finally spills into the main body of the pond.  See more HERE.


ATRIUM WATER FEATURE
A simple atrium area was enhanced by a statue-laden water feature that has been coated with Black Pond Shield.  When the fountain feature is running it produces a very beautiful effect.  See more HERE.
