The best summer vacation is the time spent by the reservoir. At the same time, it does not matter at all whether it is about the sea coast, rest on the lake or bathing in a local pond. The main condition for a good mood, strengthening immunity and getting rid of stress is contrasting procedures, during which a stay in the sun and bathing in cold water alternate.
Of course, it is good when there is an opportunity to relax at a fashionable resort, or in a well -built rest house located on the sea coast. Excellent if there is an opportunity to spend the summer in a country built in close proximity to the reservoir. But what to do to those who have only a summer shower in the country, and there is no money even to pay for a trip to the local recreation center?
In this case, you can build your own man -made pond, calling it a pool or lake. For this, it is not necessary to make large capital investments at all, it is enough to have a desire to work a little and have a good time.
First of all, it is necessary to find a place for the future reservoir and determine its size. You should not immediately “wave” large -scale projects comparable to open pools for training athletes or with real lakes. For a summer vacation, a small square reservoir is quite enough, with an area of twenty -five square meters. Later it can be expanded and improved.
Work should begin with a thorough measurement of the site, drawing up its plan and determining the place suitable for the construction of a reservoir. It is difficult to do it manually. It is better to buy a laser range finder right away. With it, you can draw up a plan with high accuracy.
After choosing a place for the location of the future pool, it is necessary to outline its boundaries. And again a reliable laser roulette will come to the rescue, with which any measurements will take only a few minutes.
After the contour of the pool is determined, you can start digging its bowl. In this case, it is necessary to provide a gentle descent into the pool and the presence of the deepest place in it, suitable for bathing an adult.
The resulting container is covered with a polyethylene film with a canvas that does not have seams, the edges of which are located on the shore and fixed with natural stones. Then the pool is filled with water, which tightly presses the film, pressing it into the walls of the reservoir. As a result, the bottom of the reservoir is smooth and solid. The main condition for its successful operation is the integrity of the surface of the film. For this reason, you should not throw sharp stones or stitching items into the pool.
The construction of such a reservoir will not take much time, but will deliver a huge amount of joy.
