Louie Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 I have this on the side of the house . It is two 40 gallon pvc "pond" frames stacked on top of each other . It serves its purpose as a little place to add extra hybrid shrimp and some unusual colored platys . I would like to increase the height by about 6 inches . I was thinking of searching for some type hard black flat PVC I could silicone on the 1 inch frame border . Could this work or forget about it?

Louie Posted August 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Thanks everyone . I should have noted that I wanted to increase its height because when it pours , Mud, etc winds up in that "pond" (I siphon it out) and was looking to increase the border height to prevent this . Acrylic or some type plastic looks to be my only option and silicon it on the border . I am going to look online and see if such a thing as curved pieces like High5's pic as that would be ideal.

High5's Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 You also could use that foam in a can and make faux rock barrier shape it color it and seal it, you would have to reseal it every few years if it in a shaded area. Some cinder blocks and plywood with a hole cut to fit you could have it like a table weather proof the wood and it should hold up for 5 years or so.

High5's Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 How about this you could pop rivet then silicone it to the pond it's plastic land scape edging 5 inches tall might be able to find wider. Louie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louie Posted August 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 High5 BRILLIANT idea . The 5 inch landscaping edge they sell is PERFECT . I read this yesterday and did not sign on but I called the gardening place I go to . They had brown in stock but getting black this Tue . This is exactly what I needed but I never thought of it . I am going to silicone it as that will serve my purpose but I have to wait a bit since it is rainy (pure humidity season) . I am picking it up next week and it will certainly keep the soil out of it . Thanks countryboy12484 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks No problem, I would drill maybe 10 hole's around the liner and pop rivet or use small bolts and nut's then silicone it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
