Im in the middle of a pond redo. Just curious of what all ideas are out there for fun things to add. Like I plan on doing 2 telephone poles and a cross beam and putting up rope swing. Before spring is here I would like a good idea of what I what todo.

+1 on the swim platform.

Would also re-do or add on any docks you want. Really nice to do this work before the water comes back up.

Maybe they could use that on one of our borders

Lusk has a zip line

Lusk- Do you have any pictures of your zipline?

Brettski -- Maybe in my 20's I would have been down for that after some shots. Now that I hit my 40's I'm not as daring.

How about a giant deck-mounted squirt gun in range of the rope swing? Power it with a 2" pump.

My river is powered by 4 HP of two electric pumps feeding a three inch PVC for about a hundred feet and fifteen feet uphill. Lots of water, great flow, but: I now see the potential to feed the current pumps' output into two large Honda powered three inch water pumps, like 10 HP each, each pumping out to its own 3 inch pipe. I hope that would provide sufficient flow that the waterfalls would act as rapids for when someone wants to kayak. Do you think that could work? Or should I plan on renting a forty horse diesel pump for those special occasions?
