    wrap your victims body in it and seal with gaffa tape, remember the grave site should be at least 6ft deep else the smell might attract animals.


    P.S. Scrub your victims body with bleach to remove any DNA and/or fingerprints.

    That would require cement boots as well else you'll get a floater

    100m2, I have the liner, but its short of the sides, only goes half way up the walls, which is ok as I'm trying to seal at that level, BUT when it rains and fills it to the overflow level, which will be 1 meter above the liner, will it cause the liner to balloon out??

    I'd presume they'd use a waterproof adhesive or tape. I had a look at a pond a coupla months ago square in shape on the corners the liner looked as if it was overlapped and folded. I presumed they'd seal it some way


    Cement is not an option?



    P.S. will you have a fairy or a wishing well on your yuppie water feature?

    Or are you going to have a manly water feature filled with trout or yabbies?

    its for a pair of white swans, so I suppose it fits into the fairy catergory.

    Hi Crump, i would have a pipe or something at the heighest point your liner comes to to drain the water away sort of like the holes you see in some basins to stop them filling and overflowing, its not good to have water getting around and under the liner. Joining the liner with tape can be done but its not the best, if you hunted around for a specialist there are ways to join them, but nothing i have seen is all that good.

    Another option is to line the bottom with 3.6m wide builders plastic and then chicken wire and then make a slurry of concrete and line the inside like a mould, make sure you mix bondcrete in with your concrete mix to help seal it.

    Also be aware that if the pond is more than 30cm deep it needs to be fenced, this is law. Alternatively you can put mesh in the pond so that if a child was to fall in they would land on the mesh like a safety net.
