Ryan's above ground koi pond 2010

it took a week and a half to build. I bought all materials from home depot and lowes. I bought my filter pads from the thrift store and dollar store.

very nice work and I love you too. I have no idea whether I should put my pond above or below ground and the place that I want it is too far away from a socket so what do you do in that event? Oh also would it be best for a new starter to just buy a deck pond and use that ? I find them to be too pricey for the size but they would be so much easier to put together and maintain.

@lavvy2585 sorry for the late reply. Thanks for checking my video out :) I had to use an outdoor extension cord for all the plugs. You can pay an electrician to run some wires closer to your pond, it might cost about 100-200 bucks. The only reason I built this pond is because I know I'll be in the same house for a long time. However, having a deck pond is ideal if you have to move around a lot. Please keep me updated on any progress, I would love to see your pond.

did you use screws or bolts to put it together

[Ranchinges]

@095340002 I used screws for the corners and 6 inch stakes for the sides.

[095340002]

how did you put the corners together

[Ranchinges]

@095340002, I used a miter saw to cut a 45 degree angle. Don't over cut the wood.

NICE! I'm about to build my indoor, above ground Koi pond. I think building it is almost as fun as looking at it :)

@Ranchinges

thanks for responding no pond at this time or the near future, i think I am going to start with a pondless waterfall as it is less work to maintain plus I love that sound.
