PLACE PONDLESS VAULT AND AQUABLOX
®
• Lay out the AquaBlox
®
and the Pondless Vault in desired
location. The AquaBlox
®
should be placed side by side with
the wider panel face down. Place the AquaBlox
®
over the
front edge of the Pondless
®
Waterfall Vault.
• Use a can of brightly colored, highly visible spray paint to
outline the shape around the Pondless
®
Waterfall Vault and
AquaBlox

STEP 5
EXCAVATE YOUR WATERFALL BASIN
• Remove vault and AquaBlox
®
and begin to excavate
approximately 18.5”depth. Once 18.5” depth has been
reached, excavate area for vault, an extra 7” down. Please
note an additional 6” of excavation is recommended per
side of the basin to allow for: AquaBlox
®
dimensions,
sufficient backfill material and compaction required during
backfilling.
• Digging can be labor intensive, so pace yourself and
get some friends to help.
• Excess soil can be used to create elevation for the
waterfall and stream or as soil for the berm around the
waterfall.
