September 26, 20188 yr comment_572886 Need to create a bit more space for some turtles so will record the build here. Got given a secondhand shub so will use that as the pond, removed drain grate and replaced with a 25mm Hansen bulkhead then attached a stand pipe to it to allow drainage, drilled end cap to stop anything going down it. Added a frame to it so room for drainage pipe to go to sump gave it a scrub and found 2 bits of double glazing same length as shub Built a ramp for turtles to get to basking area. a piece of polystyrene and covered with expanding foam Report
