Hello from Essex!!

[Essex_Andy]

Well been somewhat forced to build a pond....

In a very small nutshell the 30 year old pond sprung a leak and 'destroyed' existing block and brick wall.
Soooo took the opportunity to extend and go higher.

I will be posting in the build section in the next few minutes with various steps in the build I need suggestions with.

Hello and thank you in advance,

Andy.

Welcome Andy! Looking forward to seeing pics of your pond rebuild. There are also a lot of friendly and knowledgeable people here to help.

welcome and it is always nice to go bigger and enjoy it more and give you a chance to change things you always wished you had done with the first pond .
