I have heard the deer love the Arbovitae trees. We have 80 of them and they've left them alone for 10 yrs now
Your pond is lovely and huge

 

[addy1]

Very nice! They leave ours alone also jw. Right now they are enjoying my corn........have little cobs growing, maybe some will survive the deer.

Great looking pond. How big/deep/# of gallons?

 

[smcox1]

Thanks for all your kind words. If you look at the 4 arbovitae trees at the top the deer got to them before I got fence around and the 2 really big ones were already replaced because the deer ate them if you want a tree to grow where I live they have to be fenced the very first day you plant them. My pond is 15x25 and at the deepest about a foot and a half and I can probably get 2000 gallons all the way full

 

[smcox1]

And this is my very first pond its a 250 gallon preformed liner

And my pondless waterfall

 

[addy1]

I know colorado has many zones, what one are you in? That might be too shallow to keep fish over winter.

Nice upgrade from the preform, love the pondless waterfalls........... Nice work

 

[taherrmann4]

Do you have fish in the pond? How cold does it get there?

 

[smcox1]

I don't have fish I don't think its deep enough and I would have to bring them inside during the winter because I will drain the pond and I'm in zone 5

 

[smcox1]

I actually have pulled apart the pondless waterfall and put this in

Nothing at my place lasts for more then a year before I pull it apart and do something else

 

[addy1]

Well that is nice too! Yep zone five you would need to have it deeper, like 4 - 5 feet, mine is 5 feet deepest part and the fish survived last winter.

 

[smcox1]

I figured it would have to be really deep maybe one of these days it will all come apart and I can dig it really deep but my pond was mainly built so I could put the waterfall

 

[addy1]

and love that waterfall

 

[smcox1]

I do as much as I can especially now that I'm still working on it
