This video takes you through the main steps of building a pond.

There are 2 things that I think should be avoided in this video. #1 is rocks in the pond, They collect and trap gunk and cleaning can be nearlt imposable. #2 is shelves if you live where herons and coons come to visit All they do is offer a table for dinner. IMHO anyway.

I agree. Also, when you place plants in your pond, make sure they don't get in the way of netting. GBH & Egrets by day, Racoons by night.

I have PVC framed nets that are easily removed when I am home.

I have remove most of the shelve in my ponds. I have not lost any more fish. The ones that are left are covered with lava rock that are loose. Next spring these to will be gone. Strait down sides. Do not have egrets or fish eagles here. Herons, coons, cats.
