How to make a mini-pond of tires on a summer residence: a collection of ideas and a master classThe idea to construct an unnatural reservoir for a dacha comes to the mind of many land owners. Certainly, this key of coolness and positive feelings will amuse not only the owner himself, but also his guests, becoming the true highlight of the landscape. The only sight of aqua smoothness helps a person relax, adjusts for lyrical harmony, causes tides of inspiration. However, having critically estimated only 6 hundred parts of its own plot, some are abandoned through their own dreams. And in vain! We will tell you about the book, like to embody it in existence, having made a mini-pond out of a tire for your dacha with your own hands, and at the same time to take out old rubber that you do not like.
We select a room for a mini-pond
Imaginary mini-pond is forced to cheer and entice universal respect. Therefore, the premises where he is compelled to occupy, should be chosen predominantly painstakingly. There are fairly rules that we advise you to follow, so that the election is successful:
The reservoir is not forced to exist for the sun non-stop. The penumbra is the best room for him. In an unpleasant situation, the plants are extremely hot, and they will fade, well, the water will bloom brightly.
Open and purged places are also not ideal.
If you construct a pond near the crowns of trees, the water non-stop enough to clog up leaves and small debris. The cleaning action is quite constant for you and quite relaxing.
Great, if the pond is quite clearly visible from various points of view. Let it reflect beautiful objects: running clouds, a building or trees. Know which small ponds are best looked, if for them you look from above. Consequently, they are often placed in natural landscapes. In such a place, the mini-pond is quite clearly visible from various points of view. In addition, it will not be near constant exposure to direct sunlight
If you doubt your choice, arrange for yourself to check. Take the cake of the tselofan, who pretty designate the mini-pond, and put it for your chosen room. Take a walk in accordance with the site and see how it is excellent from the main points of view.
Where can I find a suitable tire? For the sake of implementing a large-scale project and the size of the wheel must be impressive. After all, there are wheels, the diameter of which exceeds the human profit. Using them as a base, you are allowed to construct a whole lake! Car tires come in different sizes. Such a Gulliver between them is not so difficult to find, and it is unlikely that if the size of the plot does not exceed the standard 6 sotkas
For the sake of huge objects must own:
car tire through KAMAZ;
rear wheel through Belarus tractors
rubber through the mighty BELAZ.
If your garage does not have a stale tire of its own, then the proper unit is allowed to be found in the tire changer. There is often accumulated unnecessary rubber, to be recycled, therefore it will get to you free of charge.
Recycled tires can be found for auto companies. Probably, which there also have to pay, but purely symbolically. Ordinary motorists can also offer, the one you are looking for. For no reason that you view their ads. The issue of recycling tires is not only acute in our country, but also in the world. Our craftsmen contribute to its verdict
How pretty is your body of water?
In a tiny reservoir, it is unlikely to get fish. Although goldfish from the aquarium can feel good and in a small artificial pond. However, this building is allowed to decorate and other methods. For example, according to its shores, it is allowed to land a Siberian iris.
Beautiful companions of any pond will be
water lilies
Turchin garnered;
floating regd.
In the end, it is permissible to use artificial jewelry, which imitate the same lilies, but do not require attention. For its surface, small imitations of ducks can look great, and, according to the shores, turtles. Plants planted near an artificial reservoir are able transform it into a favorite recreation area for the sake of all family members
Rubber base should be firmly covered with decorative flagstones for no reason, which will never come to anyone's mind, how a mini-pond was formed for your site. Often the satellites of aquatic structures are small alpine hills, which, at the right time, solve the problem of creating shadows.
For the sake of providing an additional effect, it is allowed to illuminate the structure with the help of garden lighting devices working for solar batteries. All the energy that they accumulate in a sunny day, they spend a night in the form of a soft, mysterious glow. The scenery of the pond also has its opposite side - they entice the reverence of children who love to amuse themselves in such a fabulous place
What your mini-pond desire is, it should be kept in mind that for the sake of small kids left unattended, it can start a source of threat.
Step-by-step instruction
Every work is preceded by a preliminary stop. It is necessary to collect together a complete need tool and matter, so as to allow less distraction while performing work.
Stop #1 - we prepare weapons and materials
We need a little tool:
two types of shovels: bayonet and shovel
building height;
electronic jig saw or ordinary hacksaw, according to metal.
Apart from the tire, with the width of which we have already determined, we will be useful:
PVC peels or special covering materials for swimming pools, who are sold in specialized stores
пыль;
щебенка;
huge pebbles for the sake of pond shore design
plants for the decoration of the reservoir and the edging.
If everything you need is prepared, you can start to work.
Stop #2 - prepare the tire for work
Despite the fact that we are going to bury the tire, for the first step of work it should be eaten through mud. However, its preparation for this will not end. We need to answer its higher part. Trimming the highest part of one of the sides of the tire can be made with a sharp knife, an electric jigsaw for a low speed or a hacksaw for the sake of working according to metal
It is unlikely that an ordinary knife will do for this purpose. We recommend using a jigsaw that works for low speed. It is allowed to use a hacksaw according to the metal, however here for this operation it will be necessary to spend more time and effort.
Stop #3 - digging a furrow for the sake of a water body
Before, like to perform a furrow, should level the area. Now we must determine how we wish to close the rubber base of the future construction.
It can exist:
Immersed in the soil for the entire width of its own tread;
is buried for one third of the
be preserved for the surface of the prepared area
Based on the decision, we dig a pit. Its appearance should correspond to the outer diameter of the tire, but with small allowances according to its entire circumference. Do not all deepen the rubber base in the pit: if you throw a rubber edge for the surface, rainwater will not quench the capacity.
Before installing the tire in the resulting furrow should level the bottom and sleep it with sand for about 15 cm. The dust is forced to exist soft and without pebbles. In this case, he will be able to protect through the damages the gasket placed for the bottom of the reservoir, and water leakage will be avoided. To form a depression near the tire, it is necessary to perfectly dust the place of the future bottom of the mini-pond and check the level of the quality of the work done
At the level we check the property of the work done. Do not forget to compact the bottom and then just put a rubber base for it. After that, once again use the level, in order to check the horizontal location of the tire.
Stop #4 - waterproofing structure
For the sake of waterproofing, it is better to extract a strong covering substance, who is intentionally intended to protect the bottom of the pools. Bribing him is permitted in specialized stores for the sake of swimming pools. Sometimes it can be found between products for the sake of the garden. The matter must be taken in such a way that, because of the wall of the tire, it protruded for about half a meter.
Of course, we give importance to a special waterproofing material, not an ordinary cephalic. Someone can make an objection, which is why our building becomes less capable for self-creation, for the creation of which they use, usually, improvised materials. However, it is better to perform a design that will serve you for more than a year without changing the bottom. After all, even a very full integer will not be able to withstand the load and will certainly give a shower.
However, the individual owner personally accepts the sentence, which it is better for him to extract the matter. Choosing an ordinary cellophane, consider its substitution, if you will strengthen the walls of the future pond. Probably, the building will have to be decomposed. If you even excuse the polyethylene film twice, it will let you pour. In order to change it, a mini-pond will have to be bought, hence the apogee of the structure will have to be dismantled
Consequently, the cover material is distributed freely according to the bottom of the pit, and its edges are outward for half a meter beyond the edges of the tires placed in the furrow.
The membrane of the material must be correctly distributed inside the tire. For the sake of this goal, the future suburban mini-pond is flooded with water, which is quite a burden for the bottom and wall of the structure. Near its pressure the reservoir will perceive its shape. Take the time for a benign job and you will get a brilliant result that you can enjoy in the course of a couple of years
Now the covering material should be painstakingly spread. In order to fix the cover in a suitable position, it is allowed to press it with rounded stones, laid for the bottom on the opposite sides.
Stop #5 - form the walls and decorate the pond
We smooth the edges of the material and sprinkle them with sand and rubble. This will completely fix the membrane. Now it will not slip. Dust will also serve as the basis for the forthcoming decoration of the pond.
The upcoming fortress and prikrasa of the reservoir all depends on the imagination of its creator. For the initial step, it is allowed to simply lay the pond with stones. If you can find a huge tire, you can perform a mini-pond not only for the sake of children, but also for the sake of adult family members
Variants of placement of pebbles depend on the degree of functionality of the structure:
For bathing. If the tire was a huge tire, then a similar building can be removed even for bathing. The shores of such a pond should not be overloaded with stones. With the help of their pretty collect the pad near the walls. A huge number of pebbles can lead to injuries to bathers.
For decorative purposes. If a reservoir is needed just for the sake of making a beautiful icon, it is permissible to dream up with the arrangement of pebbles, so that the beauty of their kind is allowed to be more fortunate. In this case, do not be afraid to punish their sharp edges. They look beautiful.
The pebbles are allowed to spread in fairly rows, placing the rounded and large stones on the bottom, and the pebbles are much smaller on top. Even the bottom of the mini-pond is allowed to decorate with an attractive medium-sized pebble of round shape, taken from a river or brought from the sea. But dust with gravel for the sake of decorating the bottom is better not to extract, because the water through them can begin to cloudy. Do not overload the mini-pond with decorative elements. He is unreasonably beautiful. Even in the style of miniaturism, it remains a beautiful place that attracts the eye.
In any garden, for no reason through the will of its owners, there is an excess of small animals. It can exist, for example, moles, hedgehogs or mice. If you do not wish to find in the water in the daytime a corpse of the ill-fated hedgehog, place a picturesque snag in the pond. It will not only make the external appearance of the structure natural, but also help the animal avoid death.

Other ideas according to the device of such a pond
If you think that a pond from a single tire is all that could generate the imagination of Russian craftsmen, you are deeply mistaken. Variants of using autoresins for the sake of creating reservoirs are a majestic excess. And about the most favorite of them, we will tell you without delay.
If you take not one, but two tires of equal or even different sizes, you are allowed to execute not only, but two ponds, which will border together with protectors. The most fascinating in this structure is its decorative design. For example, at the junction of the two rubber bases it is allowed to construct a beam bridge from birch logs. It can exist like a decorative, causeless and a continuation of the garden path.
By changing the degree of penetration of tires, it is permissible to make ponds with overflow. For the sake of this, one tire is fixed to the surface of the site, and the other is buried. With the help of this overflow, it is just right to organize the removal of rainwater flowing from the roof.
For the base of ponds with overflow it is allowed to perform a domestic waterfall. For the sake of this, it is necessary to deceive the hose to the upper tank, from which, near a feeble pressure, offer water. He is allowed to neatly camouflage stones, located on the coast. Water, overflowing the higher part of the structure, runs pretty beautifully into its lower half, imitating the waterfall.
If the view of your site allows, then why does not desire to construct such a beautiful waterfall, the base of which is all the same tires ...
The water in summer is one that no one baby can throw a phlegmatic. A large tire will allow for easy and simple execution. Children have enough, in which to splash around with the supervision of adults. A naive splashing pond is ideally surrounded by a coastal zone of tiles, so that it is safe for it to step barefooted feet. In order to provide children, the water in such a pool must be cleaned. For this purpose it is permissible to remove the pump. And it is allowed to change the water more often.
A good idea for the sake of reviving the pond can begin the introduction of a fountain in it. For the sake of this, it is permissible to adapt a turbine with a nozzle for the sake of an aquarium or a short pump. In order for the fountain to work, it must provide power supply. Do not forget to provide for yourself: the electrical wire must be isolated with the help of a corrugated pipe and buried.
Look, it looks like the building of a fountain from a tire:

Even if there is absolutely no sign in the garden for the sake of the reservoir, using a tire, it can be performed for a balcony, for a terrace or a loggia. To make the design a nice visibility will help artificial stones, which can be affixed with a composition for the aqua base to the side surface of the tire.
Naturally, this list of thoughts is unrealistic to end, because the human imagination knows no boundaries. Look at this video - we are not deceiving you:
