Build-a-pond Class

Thanks to the beautiful April weather Brookside of Idaho had a wonderful build-a-pond day. Brookside of Idaho was honored to have 19 people attend the build-a-pond class on Saturday April 18th. The class asked lots of questions, watched and also participated in building a backyard pond and waterfall. Our pond, a 12 x 15 ft with a waterfall and stream of around 7 feet long, was mostly dug out and repaired before the class started. Chris gave our students a back ground of the company, number years of doing water features along with some dos and don't that Brookside of Idaho has learned. Brookside of Idaho then went through the steps of installation. First we aligned the skimmer box and secured it by back filling dirt. Next the liner was placed into the pond area and then started placing rocks into the pond along the shelves that had been placed by design. As the rocks were being placed Chris and Robin started placing the Bio Falls at the beginning of the stream. I (Gary) placed the skimmer face plate onto the skimmer and sealed and fastened it so it would not leak when the water was added. Once the Bio Falls was set and leveled a liner was attached to the Bio Falls and then the water falls and stream was added. The underwater lights were placed in the pond area and then the gravel as added to complete the installation of the pond. Rocks and gravel installed in the water fall - stream. Added water and turned on the pump and began to tweak the water flow into the pond. IT LOOKS GREAT! Brookside of Idaho would like to thank all of the students that attended. When we get the pond completed be sure the check it out on the web at http://www.brooksideofidaho.com/ . To view the finished pond contact Brookside of Idaho and let us know you are coming.
Remember next Saturday, April 25th, Brookside of Idaho will be having a Build-a-Pondless Class in Nampa at 123 2nd Street S. (The Birken Stalker). Hope to see you there and again thanks for attending the Build-a Pond Class.
Brookside of Idaho thanks Robin, Michael, and Taylor for helping with the pond and water fall installation. A big thank to Shanna and Charlene for all the help with the students before, during and after the Build-a-Pond Day.
