Quite alot of fish stores do them also where ever you find koi for sale you will find ponds. Have you a maidenhead aquatics near you?

Ebay as well...tho its not a cheap option really...I would say its cheaper to buy a pond liner and probably a lot less work. We have 3 ponds in our garden (200+ fish) and the easiest by far to put in place was the pondliner pond...price wise (its the biggest pond mind you) it was cheaper than a glass fibre/plastic pond had we got them new.

What ever you choose its a lot of work and digging the hole for a preformed pond is VERY time consuming as it has to exactly match (given that you still have to line with sand etc) the shape of your preformed pond. and when the ground is wet or you have very very heavy clay soil as we do here its a toatl nightmare. Also dont forget to plan what you are going to do with the soil you dig out of the hole..and remember for a sucessful pond you do still need filteration aeration etc the same as your tanks indoors..oh and heaters help in the winter if you dont want goldfish cubes of ice in your pond.
