Looks absolutely fantastic, I always worry about plastic welded stuff failing at the weld joints in the future. With it being a whole structure, definitely gives peace of mind that it is going to be solid.
Yes. Or a water injection method. When I made the mould ages ago I didn’t have the fitting to include to air feed nor an air compressor to introduce the air so this wedge release method will have to do unless I re-tool the mould.
@@GRPLiningServices already got a pattent on the design now, I'll release the pattent to you for a free one😂😂😂, I'll keep eye on here and James to check your progress with them, i would order one 👍
Hi Matt, I`ve got a joiners shop and small GRP area I use in my unit , based in chesterfield. I've also been building ponds for the last 25 years with the biggest pond size of over150k litres in Derby. So I've got plenty of experience in this field if your interested ?
@@GRPLiningServices maybe 1 inch should do it that's down the sides and up the back. Hope this helps. By the way, I love your work on ponds, and one day, I will get you in to do my main pond.
I really like that there is no seams,that is a massive plus,but i would like the skimming level to be on a float so it drops with the water level and raises again when you add water to the pond, in my mind skimmers need to skim only the very surface, if the flow into the skimmer is too great it defeats its purpose, i see many ponds on TH-cam that are skimming from a huge opening,
Trust me Dan 10mm of water through this or nigh on 100mm and it skims perfectly well so no need for a float. I’ll set this up on a pond and run it at all depths at the skimmer front to prove my words.

Hi Matt, Could you not use a air line to release the skimmer from the mould.
Yes. Or a water injection method. When I made the mould ages ago I didn’t have the fitting to include to air feed nor an air compressor to introduce the air so this wedge release method will have to do unless I re-tool the mould.
Instead of cutting the front off,could you just router out 4 10mm slits in it to allow the water to flow through?
That’s not a bad idea at all.

You’ll be wanting a 50/50 split profit share :)
Wants a 3 or 4 inch outlet and. 1.5 inch overflow …. That’s it

Produce these for me you mean?
@@GRPLiningServices I were thinking of doing more things like this together, got a large industrial unit, so scope to do larger thing etc ??
do a removeable platic mesh but slits going from left to right not top to buttom
I think the back and sides need to be higher.
Why?
@@GRPLiningServices You need a lip on the sides and back to stop the water from going over the sides.
How much higher do you suggest?
