thanx got to stain it seal next.i wanted like a deep violet but he wants terracotta.ive only got to look at the sun and i go brown.people doubt my english roots in the summer lol. i cant weight.i hope he is as happy as me.did you like the fact i kept the front heads simple ? i was going to do gargoyls but they just went this way.not scary but mystical i think and the water should come out of there mouths equaly as i used plumming fittings lol. it will actualy look best in a few years with algie fish,lants etc

yes i think the heads are fine,, not scarey,,, violet... not sure,, a bit bright for my taste,, but its your project and its what you prefere,, its great anyway nosey
27 Apr, 2009
They're great Leigh! Is the area behind them for planting? You're right, it will look great once the concrete has weathered and the plants have settled in.
27 Apr, 2009
yes the area behind is for plants/filter.one and the same.i use watercress in mine.ill plant his with some other plants that dont get to big and cress.some tesco barby charcoal.the bird spits it in the first one and it runs out the 3 heads mouths.well thats the theory lol. ow its gonna be terracotta as it is his pond .
27 Apr, 2009
