Wood frame pond

[Whitr9870]

This one is currently in front garden. Ground pond will go in the side garden. But could end up keeping both lol. Is it worth me putting any insulation for winter time between the ply and what ever i decide to put on the outside to finish it?

I insulated the bottom of mine. Give me an extra week or two in my rather short non freezing to death season.

 

[Whitr9870]

Wood treated. Waiting on liner and underlay to come. I got a whole load of roof insulation left over so im think of packing the sides with it while im cladding the outside.

 

[Sparky]

Cool! I know the feeling. Waiting. What’s your gallons again?

 

[Whitr9870]

Umm its around 800 litres so about 175 gallons (uk) i think anyway.

 

[Sparky]

Fun. Just finished mine (sort of) and already planning the next. Don’t tell the wife!

I've been happy w/my Laguna Max Flow pump so far.

Just wondering, will i have to have a brace along the top middle of the pond? As i have seem hundreds online bigger than mine with no brace at all

Under the advice of Panzer, when I filled up I built a dead man brace I just slid over the middle just in case all heck broke loose. Slid it off after a couple of days full. Peace of mind.

Basicly all done. Just some small stuff and final touches but finaly there lol
