Hi Dave,

Not sure if I've been around long enough, but hey welcome to the forum. If you have a picture that would be helpful?

Suggestion . Dig out a small hole close to the pond, as deep as you can and at the lowest ground point (if there is one) in relation to the pond. If you can dig out next to the wall all the better. This is generally called a soakaway. The prevailing water table will fill the hole up with water. Use a pump to extract the water and dump same preferably into a drain or as far away as possible . Don't want the water returning back there do you

i'd go along with TicToc, build a sump and pump out. needs to be dry to glass onto!!

other option providing the pond is only damp and not full of water is that some fibreglass companies can seal with insulation layer then fibreglss onto that. may work but you need to check with the glassers first.

Hi Dave,

The pond needs to be dry to glass it some put heaters on the inside to help dry out but it depends on how much water is coming in.

Have you sorted the wet pond, pre glassing situation yet?
