thinking of starteing a small pond

[GuppyDude]

i like fish and i really enjoy looking at larg koi swimming around in ponds, they are so cool. the only place i would be able to keep such a large fish should be logically in a pond. the pond i starte cant be too big that it takes up alot of room, (my mum wouldn't be happy), but its gotta be big enogh to hold atleast 3 koi fish. i live in wisconsin, the summers are pretty warm, and the winters are deadly, with heaters teh pond should be ok during winter i figure, and during the summer i dont think warmer water will hurt them too much. can anyone advice me on how to set up a low budget koi pond?

I don't know if they are any good, but Costco and Home Depot have pre-packaged pond setups. Have you looked into those? They may not be the most upscale setups but it maybe good enough to get your pond up and running. Here are some links. SH

If your getting Koi, make sure the pond is atleast 1000 gallons.
