Nice Pond!!!!

 

[Cat]

Its longer than ours, mines about 8ft by 7ft . In middle its about 4ft deep,I want a bigger one and more fish now.

 

[MAM]

you don't happen to have shots of the process to build it and whatnot do you? see, i live in a second floor condo, and while we have a huge patio, that could fit some sort of small pond setup like this on one end, i have no idea how to go about setting up something like. would love to see your process.

If i had my way,the whole back garden would be a pond

It'll do for another year or so.The first pond i built was only a small one,3½' x 2' x 2.
The second pond was 6' x 3' x 2½',but that had a leak,& couldnt find where .& thought while i was paving the garden,i'd build a bigger one.

Lovley Pond and Koi.

Where you get those Gifs, they are Funny

 

[Cat]

You could fit a big one in that garden vicar

Mam you could buy a preformed pond a small one ,build a large planter then put it in that,get a pump fitted !!

You can sit outside and watch the fish

Or just build a planter and put a liner in a bit cheaper.

psgill00,those Gifs i made a few years ago with a paint program ,,


MAM,sorry all the pictures i had of the build have been lost , i stored them on an file storage site,that suddenly dissapeared ..

I basiclly dug down 1½',filled the base with 3" hardcore (rubble),with a 3" concrete base on top of that.
The brick work is only one course wide,rendered with ½" concrete.I didnt set out a plan for it,just built it up in my mind,as i had an idea what i wanted.

The bit on the end with the flowers was built a few months after the pond,as i installed another filter,& needed to hide it somewhere,& the wife wanted a few flower's

You could fit a big one in that garden vicar

One day,when the kids have left school,& i get my own way
