Step 1: Site Clearance and Planning

1. Clear the site of gravel, fallen leaves, dirt, and other debris.

2. Use a water pipe to measure the pond’s dimensions and outline the general construction area.

3. Excavate in layers to a depth of 2 feet. Leave 8-10 inch steps (for stabilizing the soil and adding stones).

Step 2: Waterproofing construction and leakage detection

4. Clearing away gravel and pruning tree roots

5. First lay the bottom layer of pond bedding fabric → main geomembrane → pond liner.

6. Water is injected, and the geomembrane is fixed in place by the stretching effect of the water pressure. Leakage is then checked after static loading.

Step 3: Waterfall Construction and Decoration

7. Install Poposoap 40W and 80W waterfall boxes.

8. Conceal the waterfall with stones, fix and fill it with waterproof expanding foam, and then trim away any excess white foam.

9. Place the RGB underwater light at the bottom of the waterfall.

10. Decorate the waterfall with stones, moss, ferns, etc.
