the preformed pont is flat or full of corrugated parts? I have a pond that for not being flat I am throwing away cause its very difficult to clean

I'm not sure what you mean my 'corrugated parts,' but, the pond basin is not perfectly flat. It has a few various 'levels' and some 'bumps' here and there to give the appearance of rocks. However, overall it has a smooth surface, which can be wiped clean with a sponge or rag. Admittedly, cleaning it is a pain in the butt!---but that would be the case with ANY pond! Fortunately, I only have to do it once a year, in the early spring, to get all the 'dead winters sludge' out of it. Then, it's 'good to go' from spring through autumn, when I shut it down for the winter. I don't keep fish in mine, I've found fish are just too much trouble. But, the upside to no fish is---to keep the water running clear all spring and summer, I add pool chemical to the water, algaecide and such! I've also added my own rocks to the bottom of it to give it a more 'natural' appearance. I've had mine for three years now, and though I'm not thrilled with cleaning it (only take a few hours), I do look forward each year to getting it up and running!

The bubbles are down toward water. Flat side up. It looks better and is also easier for cleaning dirt off

It's flat. You could probably use any scooper with this--the scooper is fine, but it's the holder that is worth it.

There are some low ridges in it, but other than that it is flat. You can see them if you zoom in on the product image.

The bottom starts to curve on the sides. It's easy to carry out to clean. It's a hard plastic, with handles on the side. There is a slight slope. My kitty hasn't been throwing litter out til recently. I ordered the canopy for it today. It is large, takes up a lot of space.

It is now FLAT!!! Thanks everybody. The curved edge is to the outside, away from you while you're sitting there but I can live with that. Someone here said to pull the post out and turn it 180 and put it back in the bottom holder and that's all I needed. Thanks to you!!

Hi Jeff,Mine was flat. If it is minimal, I would use it, but it sounds like its pretty bad. I think I would exchange it for another one. Great fence for the money.

it's not flat but they unravel quite easily since it's just on one side. just let gravity do the work.

There is a small depression -- about 1/2 inch wide and maybe an 1/8 inch deep --running around the edge of the bottom. So, not completely flat. Also, note the bin sides are slightly angled out, not meeting at a 90 degree angle with the bottom.

Yes the bottom is flat. I use it for fish and it works great. The partition is removable and I do not use it.

It is plastic, and is not a great design, shallow tilt,poor runoff of water, allows to pool and stagnate, not as good as my old well designed Rubbermaid of rubber

It is only lay flat when empty. I use landscape 'staples' to guide the hose in the pattern I want. It fills up when water is turned on and stays in place. Place the hose with the water on. Here is a link to the staples: Easy Gardener 815 75-Count Fabric and Garden Staples

The top side (cutting surface) is flat BUT it has the slightest "lip" running around the edge. The surface is textured. The bottom side has little round feet.

The item is flat except for a small groove that runs along the front. I tried pouring a little water on it. Some of the water collected in the groove, but the rest went on the side of the pot.

I ordered this last year and it came with two pre-molded black plastic pieces, a very small pump and a long black piece of tubing. I dug a hole for the pond portion molded piece and then used the dirt from the hole, along with large rocks to build up a hill to place the second pre-formed molded piece, which is the cascading water molded piece. You basicly place the little pump in the bottom of the pond and attach the tube (I had to sue a zip tie to secure as the tube did not fit snug enough) to it and then run the tubbing over the side and under the dirt/rock up to the top of the cascading molded piece that you have built up. All that little pump does is suck water in up through the tube and out into the top of your water feature which creates the cascading water fall feature into your pond. That is all that comes with the kit, four pieces in total. You have to get creative with the rest and the first purchase I reccomend is a fountain pump feature that I went to Lowes and purchased for $29. It sucks water in and fountains it out to give the nice water sounds that you will not get with the kit alone. It also acts a filter in the small pond. This pond is NOT FOR FISH as it is very small and the little pump that is comes with is no where near capable of producing the oxogen needed for fish to live in, it simple moves the water from the tub up to the waterfall. It does serve as a great water feature for the birds that frequent my yard though. They love bathing in the cascading water fall feature since I have added many river rocks to it. Again, you have to purhase rocks and other decorative things to make it look appealing. Flat slate rock was a great option for me, as I also used it to lay over the exposed tube that was left exposed without it.

The filter is made of a white fiberglass product. The outer part is a corrugated white, stiff product and the inner part looks like a spun fiberglass. It looks a lot like the round, cylindrical swimming pool filters if you're familiar with those. it's easy to remove and clean.

Yes, there is supposed to be a flat side to the tip. We have ordered two of these and both times they came that way. We are really pleased with this pump, it does a great job! Enjoy
