Hi Ken. Welcome. That is really big for a first pond. Over 6000 US gallons if you convert from English Gallons. Did you have help digging it?

Thanks for the welcomes off all of you and i only had a little help doing my pond,my son helped with the digging when he was there(about 10% of the time) couple of mates and my son helped to mix the concrete base(3m qube)and my brother in law helped fibreglass the pond as my wife mixed the resin and hardener.
all the best
Ken.

well it is good you had help for all that stuff because one person would have trouble doing it all by themselves
sissy said:
Hi again,the only help i had was with a bit of the digging (around 10%),mixing of all the concrete and the fibreglassing,all the rest i did on my own,hard work,but it was worth it
Ken.
ps,id never laid a concrete block before.
