This is a step by step how to build a backyard above ground pond for less than $400 guide.
It only took me a couple of days to build, it was really easy.
I've made a list of materials you will need if you want to build your pond the same way i did. Good Luck!

Materials needed: Found almost everything at Lowes and Homedepot.
12 - 3x4x8 landscape timbers ($1.29 ea)
4 - 18" angle iron ($12.00 for 5')
1 - Pond liner 10x13 ($64.95)
6 - 1x6x6 Fence boards ($1.19 ea)
18 - 8x16 landscape pavers ($.89 ea)
17 - Decorative pavers ($2.17 ea)
1 - Pond pump ($49.95)
Filter media - Bio media - activated carbon ($25.00 altogether at pet store)
1 - Plastic planter box ($14.95)
2' of 3/4" pvc plus a couple connectors ($2-$3 altogether)
and about 7' of 1/2" tubing ($2.00)

  • Very nice. I like the idea of the top border with flat bricks. Good job. Pretty good filter too!

  • How many gallons does the pond hold? And what fish are in it? Also how is the filter working? I would really like to do a DIY pond as I need a place to put my goldfish but I don't have enough money to get one custom built :P
