The Ultimate Pond ?

[Marshall]

If money and real estate were not an issue then what would your ideal pond be ? Poll.

 

[sissy]

you forgot would you choose pondless .My next dream is pondless .

 

[Smaug]

I was going for about 5000 gallons but my ground was too full of junk fill.

 

[RobAmy]

This would be mine

 

[addy1]

That is one sweet pond!

But downfall is the electric bill .If it was natural water flow I would like it better .Cheaper on the wallet

True but if you can afford to build that pond and building to go with it then the electric is not a big deal. The electric bill has to be incredible to keep that running. I still think it is amazing even with the high cost of running it. I would love to see it in person. Besides I really do not have to think about the cost of running it at all, I am a little short on the building funds My GOFUNDME page is here ROB'S POND accepting any amount

 

[sissy]

true but the real thing would be even more amazing

If money was no object I would choose one like @RobAmy posted. Bigger is better! Wonder if it has fish in it and boy how would you keep the heron away from them?
Maybe constant patrolling of guard dogs?

If there were truly no limits I would be humble and modest and just go for the pacific ocean... And move it into my back yard which was previously known as the west coast

if money was no object I would go with the house with the rock waterfall on the side of the hillside .I posted the video from you tube a couple of years ago .Hey I want it all a pond and waterfall with a rock head in the middle of the stream and the house .I don't dream big do I

My dream pond would be no bigger than 1000 gallons. My current pond is about 800, and I don't think I'd ever go too much bigger. I'm lucky I've been able to keep control of this one!


Actually, as much as I love my pond, I have a dream for the future that involves a stream instead of a pond. I imagine having a backyard that is completely turned into a native garden, with the stream winding through the middle of it, as well as a path that winds through it and goes over the stream on a small bridge. It's a huge dream that is at least a dozen or more years away, but it's on the list for future me to keep in mind.

I'm with JB. I've always been a river angler rather than a lake troller. I like the sound of fast moving water. My small property will not allow for dreams much bigger than that of a bigger property.

 

[sissy]

The other property i own has frying pan creek running through it .Only problem is it divides the property up .The house is on the front 1 acre but the horses are on the 11 acres on the other side of the creek .Not great but it sounds pretty

our pond is 20000 gallon, if I were ever to tear up the yard again and do it over, I would double that
