hi, the sleepers are interlocked on the corners and long bolts in the corners and 2 on each side.
the weight of the sleepers hold them and there is no bowing after 8 months.
i used a router on the sleepers and painted.
the sleepers are 8x4
i love the pond out of wood, great idea. what is the size of the wood? how is it ancored to the ground, do you have bolts through them. have you noticed any bowing in the wood. i like how you have made the wood look like blockwork.
i have koi in holding tanks for over a year as i am working on the pond bit by bit as time goes on i have not got the money that most of the people have on this site
i love the windows in the pond like a big plasma tv that you have lost the remote on purpose to keep it on that channel
