If underlayment and liner size is not limited, what is the minimum size of the pond should be in order for the depth to be 3 ft and still look natural?
This is mostly dependent on the construction process and rock placement all while ensuring the rocks are secure and safe. There is no general rule of thumb that we use however, the wider the feature the easier this will be to safely accomplish this. Also note when going to a deeper depth many other factors will need to be taken into consideration beyond liner and underlayment to ensure a healthy ecosystem (circulation, filtration and even stone amounts needed).
This is an excellent tutorial series for first time pond builders! Thank you for these great tips and step by step instructions.
Glad it was helpful!
The hardest part to all this seems to be getting the skimmer measured right?
For some that might be the hardest part. For others, it's placing and moving the rocks. :)
Of course she does all the hard work 😂
