The best thing to do is read the construction threads and diy sections. That way you can get some ideas as to what you want. There a lot of ways to build a pond, you need to have a basic idea of what you want to use, size, type of filtering, kind of fish.

Valguerra, I don't think you want to build a pond from wood in Florida. Maybe things are different where you are, but in central Florida, any wood coming in contact with the ground or moisture will be eaten by termites within a few years. . Cement blocks and rebar are great. I'm covering my above-ground block walls with slate tiles.
