How to Assemble Tarpaulins

1. Make sure the bottom and walls of the pond are flat.
2. Spread the two tarpaulin sheets to be assembled on the pond bottom and walls.
3. Cut the tarpaulin sheets according to the pond size.
4. Place both tarpaulin sheets to be assembled on the surface.
5. Carefully attach the edges using a welding machine or heating tool. Ensure both edges align to avoid wrinkles or air bubbles.
6. Let the attachment dry.
7. Check the attachment by filling the pond with a little water, ensuring there are no leaks.
8. The assembled tarpaulins are ready to use.

Things to Take Note of When Assembling Tarpaulins

Aside from learning the steps to assemble tarpaulins, shrimp farmers should also pay attention to several important notes when cultivating in tarpaulin ponds. First, ensure the ground used for the pond is leveled and lowered, facing the central drain to prevent water from forming puddles. Apply biosecurity measures during pond preparation and cultivation to prevent pests that could carry shrimp diseases.

Additionally, ensure the pond dike is strong and leak-free. Immediately repair the dike if any damage is detected, and ensure the pond has a designated area for water disposal and waste processing.

Conclusion

Connecting tarpaulins for shrimp ponds can be done using heating tools or welding machines. Ensure the process is carried out on a flat and clean surface, and test for leaks before proceeding to use it in shrimp cultivation.
