How to make a rockery

Taking making a rockery fish pond as an example, it is divided into six steps: 1. Model making, 2. Choose a stone, 3. Build a fish pond, 4. Apply waterproof powder, 5. Make rockeries, 6. Install the circulation system. As long as you follow the operation method we introduced, step by step and practice carefully, you can easily fix a small indoor rockery fish pond by yourself.

First, model making.

Rockery model making can make a rough shape of a rockery with foam. Usually large rockeries need to be modeled. While making your own rockery, you can draw a sketch of the rockery by hand. Because you make your own rockery, don't make a professional rockery model as long as you can understand it.

Second, the choice of stone materials At present, the commonly used stone materials for making rockery fish ponds are: Lingbi Stone, Tortoise Stone, Taihu Stone and Melaleuca Stone. We list some selection principles: 1, Melaleuca stone: the origin is Lingbi, and many friends will choose Melaleuca stone as decoration, because it is near, so our first principle is to choose the nearest stone, because it is convenient to transport and the price is favorable. The following figure

2. The choice of stone materials should be different in size, which is more design-oriented. Enlarge the stone below and put pebbles on it. This is our second principle. The principle of size 3. Based on the principle of proximity, stone materials should be selected according to the types of fish ponds when making balcony rockeries. Generally, Melaleuca stone, quartz stone and water-absorbing stone are selected as artificial landscapes, and turtle stone and water-absorbing stone are selected as rockery fountains.

Third, fish ponds are generally made of ordinary red bricks. As deep as the fish pond is, red bricks will be built accordingly. After the fish pond is built, use cement mortar to batch it. After approval, before the cement mortar dries, it is enough to add pebbles to the outer layer. It's simple.

Four, brush waterproof powder build by laying bricks or stones good fish pond, water conservation after a day, can be leak-proof construction. Waterproof glue can be bought at the hardware store. Waterproof powder and waterproofing agent are usually used as waterproof materials for concrete. After the foundation of the pool is laid, the leak-proof method is plastering with waterproof mortar, which is carried out twice, and each plastering layer is 10mm thick. When the waterproof mortar is initially set for the second time, it should be compacted and polished.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) Make rockery According to the rockery model made in the first step, combine materials such as trees, stones, mountains and grass to arrange and combine in the fish pond space. Actually, it's bonding. You can refer to the modeling of network pictures and have confidence in your modeling ability, or you can slowly glue 1 by yourself and adjust the cement slurry: pay attention to the dilution consistency of the cement slurry when adjusting it. In order to increase the setting time, a proper amount of plugging material can be added to cement; For stone bodies that need to be sculpted, they can be fixed with marble glue, and then covered with cement paste after the glue dries to coordinate the tone. 2. Stone processing: Most stone materials are naturally unprocessed, so stone materials must be sawed, connected and bonded according to landscape requirements. The sawed stone can be cut with a cutter or hacksaw, or it can be broken and leveled with a hammer. 3. Bonding mountain: Cement or chemicals can be used to bond mountain rocks. Cement has high bonding strength, low cost and convenient use. The bonding effect of chemicals such as resin glue is also very good, but the cost is higher. So cement is usually used.

The last step will be relatively difficult, and the backwater mode of fountain waterfall is basically self-circulation. It is to use a pump to absorb water from the pool, supply the water to the source of the waterfall, and then the waterfall water falls back into the pool, and so on. When there is less water in the pool, you can open the water replenishment valve and replenish new tap water.

That's your private world.
