When it has reached the horizontal position, place it so that it will be integrated with the dike; extend it at least 15 cm from all sides of the pipe; avoid using pipes with a very small diameter; protect the entrance of all pipes with a screen, and keep this screen clean pond, you must, to be able to drain your pond completely, be sure. usually perpendicular to the centre line of the outlet dike (see can use, for example: 3. Therefore: Note: you should try to standardize the type of outlet to be built On flat terrain where there is no pond embankment, culvert pipes at the pond water level may be used, but care must be taken to avoid frost damage and leakage around the pipe. Eventually, they corrode and leak, the pond water level drops, and, in extreme cases, erosion around the failing pipe can tear a hole in the pond dam and destroy the embankment, flooding the neighbors downstream. Both the small- and the medium-size monks are nailed or screwed together of some dimensions, which should be increased as follows: (a) The width of the foundation should be at least it. monk should be limited to 2 m. 2.
