Now that the foundation is done, the next step is to build up the wall for the pond. We use bricks and mortar for this purpose. 1 part cement with 3 parts sand. Wire mesh to be layed in between the bricks for every 3 layers too, to strengthen the wall.

The process took about 3 days

I started out at the deepest end, the corners are particulary tough

Working the way up..

The lines are for leveling purposes

You can see the lines more clearly here

All nice and leveled up, the hole at the far end is left for the overflow pipe
