What do you think about a window on side of above ground pond, any issues with algae biuld up,

[pondguru]

Never installed one myself but I would assume that algae would build up on the glass similar to an aquarium so would need scrubbing off.

How much did this pond cost?



[pondguru]

Not enough. The wall took ages.

I think it was about £2.5K (may have been less) but I have real problems with memory. I just remember thinking when I was half way through the wall that it was way too cheap and no other landscapers I know would have bothered making a pond finished this way.

I've done a few more like this since and each time, the wall takes an age but it makes a unique effect - bit like a trademark as people know its one of mine.

lol

@pondguru It is a very good looking pond and looks very well made. Just very impressive!

[pondguru]

No worries, man.

I tend to make anything as if I was making it for myself.

idk but at the beginning of the video my eyes were hurtting..

very very nice pond its seem to be relaxing specially at the sammer that you could sit in your porch and enjoy the sound of the mini water fall

[pondguru]

As the wall is a double skin wall, the letterbox sits in the cantre and the front is masked by thinner stone on the pond side. I really should have done a more detailed video with some explaination of this pond as there were a few different processes involved.

The letterbox can (and often is) mounted straight onto the wall but looks very artificial done that way. It has inlets in the bottom and back. You just cap the one you don't want to use.
