Hello, well let's say I'm
Buying the materials today. I'm heading out to the retail store warehouse on rocks, concrete or bricks. Usually I heard tees will get expensive but seen people spent couple bucks cause it's on sale.. Also, I see people ask construction workers for left overs? Besides using rock or concrete would be wood be a cheaper way to go? My pond design is rectangle/squarish 2-3 thousand gallons above ground . Then build another one later. And when building my pond is there a need to leave a side open to install the filter/pump/ and so forth I see many people that have pipes going in the walls and Into the pond. Could I just leave my filter high and put it above the pond?

Thank you! Hope to hear from you guys!
