Rendering Pond walls

[colin H]

I`m currently building a concrete block pond .

I`ll be rendering the internal walls next , prior to painting .

Just wondered if its possible to use 1 coat of render as long as the walls are flat , or does it have to be 2 coats .

Also , what is the minimum thickness required ?

Any advice would be a great help

Any thoughts , anyone , please ?

Are you using a butyl rubber lining?. Is the render mean't to be the waterproofer? or if not what do the waterproofing agents instruction say?

Two coats are much better. You need to add fibres to the mix as well.
