STEP 5.

Flip your anchor stakes around and hammer them into the ground until they are flush 
with the top of the bracket. 

Note:

If you encounter a point in the ground that you cannot hammer through, remove 

the stake, and cut it down to size until it can be hammered flush with the bracket.

STEP 2.

Prepare your pond area to be as level as possible. The frame can also be dug into a slope if 
need be.

Note

: There will be additional opportunities to level the frame once it is built.

STEP 3.

Layout the first layer of your pond as shown below. Insert your anchor stakes into the joints 
so the serrated spike is facing up (see example). This will allow you to level the pond frame 
and adjust the shape of your pond before driving the stakes into the ground.

STEP 4.

Level your pond frame using a line level or a long level tool that can go across the entire 
length of the pond frame. Level at several cross sections to level all boards of the frame

STEP 6.

Once again, check the level of your pond edge and make any adjustments as needed.

STEP 7. (Skip if only 1 Level is being installed)

Stack the additional layers onto your pond frame.

STEP 8.

Attach finishing caps on top of each joint of the pond and waterfall frame.

STEP 4a.

Use flat stones or soil to shim parts of the edging that needs to rise or dig under areas of 
edging that need to be lowered. If you are using stones to level make sure to fill in the 
gaps under your boards with soil later. This will prevent water from running under your 
liner when it rains.
