Hi Jon, welcome to the forum from me.

Figgy your the first person ive seen on here from the UK - Your not that far from me either!

Is there many other UK members here?

Its when I come to forums like this I feel ashamed to be British - We have gardens that wouldnt fill a US living room

Ive been looking at various pictures on the forum, you folks in the US have it great with your huge gardens! Ive had to settle for a 2x2ft pond, by the time we stick a shed, trampoline, table and chairs and somewhere for the dog to run around in circles theres no room left in our gardens

Just make it 10ft deep, then you'll just have as much volume as us, and you'll be able to keep deep water fish too!

Welcome, British cousin!

Even little ponds and gardens can be beautiful! Size does not always make it good...........

There are quite a few UK folks on here.

Don't feel ashamed any size pond is good, it is what you do with it and put your mark on it that makes them all unique.

Maybe you could build a bigger pond under the trampoline, it would double as shade for the pond as well. :razz:
