I saw a nice idea for the patio with a rigid liner surrounded by earth/sand,
then sleepers built round it.

However, I wanted our small rigid pond for somewhere else (maybe
semi-raised, as I can't dig much due to illness).

Could the raised sleeper idea be done with flexible liner ?
I'm talking about 4' 6'' x 3'

Hi im a complete novice with these news groups so please dont shot if im
doing some thing wrong
I cant see that there would be a problem with using line for your
idea.Although you would have to hold the sleepers in place somehow, so
that the waters weight doesnt shift the sleepers. I would also use Buytl
for your liner. hope that helps.

Don't know what Butyl is.... If you are putting fish in the pond you want to
be real careful to use a liner that is fish safe.
