Before you start planning, take a look at these helpful pond tips!

1
Place the rigid liner in the desired location and mark where the wall blocks should rest. Place the base row 6” away from the bottom of the liner.
TIP! To prepare the base row on a solid surface, the rear “lips” of the block must be removed by striking them with a sledgehammer (approximately 10 stones).

Begin building the next tier of the pond wall. Each block has a “lip” located on the back of the stone. This lip creates a “lock” effect. When placing the lip down, make sure it is centered over the gap of the bottom tier. Repeat step three for the third and fourth tiers
TIP! The seams should not line up when creating the second, third and fourth tiers.
