Pond in a box ?
Ok... I usually do not like kits but we needed a water feature for a recent project and custom was not in the budget. We purchased this "pond in a box" and for around $800.00 it came with stone and everything. I was suprised how nice it turned out and still allowed for us to be creative with the layout. This is a great DIY project for someone who would like to build a pond and is unsure of what materials they may need. It is not for those who want a large pond but great for a small space!
The Savio skimmerfilter is my favorite skimmer and is the easiest to install. It does not require any glue, silicone, or adhesive to seal the liner to the face of the skimmer. It is a simply a well made unit. I typically assemble the individual components for each water feature we build based on the exact size/location/design of the water feature, but this kit is a great for a do-it-yourself landscaper.

Sorry ~~ I'm not too fond of the sharp-edged rocks; not particularly natural looking ~~ of course, one might ask, am I ~ ?!
Adding a picture of my pond to share.
Why? Because in nature, the rocks that you will find around moving water will be weathered and fairly smooth.
Have you perhaps entertained the idea of replacing some of the sharped-edged rocks with smooth-edged ones?
