Installing Overflow in a Brand New Pond

Installing Overflow in a Brand New Pond
We recently built a frog pond and it started to fill much faster than we were expecting. In this video we will be installing the overflow in this new pond and going over a simple overflow technique that allows the water level to be adjusted.

Should’ve done pvc the entire way down. That black tubing will collapse when you drive over it also while the 4” pipe is probably big enough to handle the water coming in it will clog up with sticks and algae so probably would’ve been better to go bigger on that.

Nice build! Thanks for posting it and for including the music credits!

[@janoraoutdoors]

Thanks! Some people like the songs we use

Any clogging happen? Did you put a filter cap on the end?

[@janoraoutdoors]

No clogging. We did end up changing this overflow system into a waterfall. Its actually one of our youtube shorts.

I would be interested in learning if there was any leakage around that neck. The compaction looked a bit weak. Otherwise good video like the last one. (any frogs yet)

[@janoraoutdoors]

No leaking coming from anywhere yet. Its gone through can entire winter and froze over. So it is holding up just like we planned. And yes, only weeks after it was completed we counted almost 50 frogs!

Quick follow up video of the pond full?

[@janoraoutdoors]

Planning on doing one very soon. Held up well through its first winter

Why not an apron around pipe to prevent seaping around pipe and eventual burm failure??

[@janoraoutdoors]

We only build the dike out of soils that are ideal for holding water. In this case it was clay. Once compacted clay holds water extremely well. Some people even line there pond with clay so it holds water. Compact the clay around the pipe as much as possible and it will turn solid and never leak.

[@janoraoutdoors]

@@oll9693 yes. Clay is ideal for holding water. Especially blue or brown clay
