Pond Free
Step-by-Step Pond Free®
Design & Sizing Guide
(To Help Measure & Calculate)
Decide the footprint of your Pond Free® feature. This will define how much water your system needs to handle.
L = Total length of waterfall and streamway combined
W = Average width of the streamway and waterfall
D = Average depth of the streamway in feet (e.g. 3” = 0.25’)
L × W × D = Cubic Feet of Water in Transit (WIT)
Note: 1 ft³ of water = 7.48 gallons
Example: 5’ Length × 2’ Width × 0.25’ Depth = 2.5 ft³
2.5 × 7.48 = 18.7 gallons ≈ 20 gallons
We recommend a basin that holds 2.5× the WIT. Use the calculator below to size your basin:
Use Pond Free® blocks and a waterfall well for compact, efficient basins. Based on your calculated gallons, we’ll recommend a package:
Don't forget to utilizing Pond Free® Blocks! Pond Free® Blocks offer a variety of benefits including a smaller project footprint and a lot less digging.
