Building a Koi Pond

This is a video of the photos taken during the building of the koi carp pond we built in 1996 in our back garden. Still not quite finished even now.

i really love what youve done, its a real contrast to the garden. why did the pond leak?

what sealant did you use? only im building one myself and was unsure to use pond paint or liner or fibreglass??

[morinikanguro]

@bluebar2010 Hi Thanks for the comments. The pond leaked because I thought the sealent would seal brick,  It didnt.....

Fibreglass is the best but expensive. Liner is cheap but ugly (in my opinion). Paint works well but you need a rendered surface. Hope that helps

Well done, I am a landscape gardener which includes building ponds, I must say you have done very well here! Love the type of brick you used.

@reggief50 Thanks. The bricks were reclaimed from a barn not far from us.
