4"-7" Rip Rap and the kids.



Not pond related. But I got the road installed and has made my life much easier. Access to the pond is seamless now.



Took out the old metal pipe (18") and installed the new one (plastic and 24")



This pic is from behind the dam and shows my extra 6" pvc pipe that I had installed. On the pond side (no pics yet) I plan on having a swiveled stand pipe that I can adjust. This will allow me to lower the water level about 2 feet (if the rip rap and standpipe are installed correctly) and do some shorline maintenance if I want to. If the install is off, then it'll just be used as an extra pipe for drainage during high runoff periods.

The pic only shows one of the two 20 ft sections of 24" pipe installed.



More to come!

Cheers!
