Advantages: Easy of Construction

Disadvantages: Stones

I am six months away from building my pond.

I have had a dilemna for a while now. During the design of the pond, with it's bottom drain, side return and gravity filter, the main part of the pond came under question.

Should it be Brick built or made with a liner???

The brick built option would possibly make the bottom drain and side return easier to install and maintain. Whereas the Liner pond would be simpler to install and would allow greater versatility in the shape and design of the pond.

After much investigation, visitations to local Garden Centres and Koi showrooms, it has come to my attention that there have been vast improvements in liner quality. It is now possible to install the drain and return into a line without concern.

Now that is possible to construct my required design with a liner, my pond will now be constructed with one.

The pond in our garden was already there when we bought the house. It is concrete and very solid.

I added a two pool waterfall at the side for the return water from an external filter, hidden under a bush. It is fed by a submerged pump. The pipe from the pump to the filter is hidden under the foliage.

It works well although when the pump runs water does disappear. I think the pools may need sealing.

Looking forward to a more detailed op when the pond is finished! Let me know if you re-write. moomin

Sorry for the low rating but this op doesn't really tell me much about ponds. maybe when you finish the job you will do a more detailed op. Email me if you do and I will rate it.
