Default Built a 10ft by 10ft pond in 3 days,
A lot of you might not be interested but I've just finished building a big pond in my parents back garden, took 3 days, me and a mate done it after my dad gave up after 5 mins. First pond I've ever built and the hardest part was the digging by hand.

Cheers mate, I'm no pro by any means but I like to give things a go, the pond liner wasn't easy to put in but got there in the end. We was going to make it from bricks but we thought better of it lol. Anyway I think the sleepers look nice, problem was my dad ordered 8 ft sleepers so I had to make cuts on every side which was a nightmare.

Cheers guys, must admit I was quite impressed myself, was thinking of hot tub Gary but my dad loves his fish, he's got a 7 ft marine tank in his front room 2 tanks in his dining room and now the massive pond so the hot tub was a no go, you should do it Banstead sting, it's quite high of the ground so your little one will be completely safe mate.yes Ian it has a massive 15,000 lph pump connected to a massive canister filter behind it.
