Nice looking pond. I like the boardwalk you built also.

 

[addy1]

Well for being in your sunset years you have done a great job. It looks wonderful

sissy you asked about the stone , they are paving slaps from a company called "marley" costing around £5.00 each sterling, guess $ 7.50 dollar but worth saving for just to get detail and colour scheme right.

 

[addy1]

The stones are beautiful love the look.

 

[sissy]

Thats a good price only if they sold it here .I checked just now .All the pretty stones are somewhere else

Wiskey, Great pics on the build. Do you have a problem with keeping it warm enough over the winter for your fish?

 

[whiskey]

hi cometkeith, no, get cold but flow keeps ice free plus before we laid liner we used roofing insulation called "celtex" around sides and base with soft sand underneth. so this year with filters and waterfalls fingers crossed no freeze ups. got early photos of last december pond almost frooze up but flow and fountain kept things going and photogenic will post soon.

Sorry, I tried to rotate your photos and found they became invalid files when I did. In order to edit them, I had to delete first before re-loading.
Can you make sure they are right side up next time please?
