Koi Pond

My husband, sad over the recent passing of his beloved 13 year old Basset Hound, Molly, decided to build a koi pond in her memory. He'd never built a pond before. We did some research ...»
and decided to use landscape timbers. We bought a pond liner first and then built the outer dimensions to coincide with the liner dimensions. He used carpet reminents to line the bottom of the pond and then bought an in-expensive roll of attic insulation and lined the inner edges. Then he added the liner. He used an extra row of landscape timbers on top to help anchor down the stapled liner on top. We added water, a fountain bubbler and a "spitter." Here is the end result. I think he did a great job! We still plan to add pond plants, koi, stain the wood and add plantings around it.

    My ex and I made one like this except we used landscapeing brick. Then I made a flower bed in ...»
    front of it. We had koi, goldfish, and cat fish in ours. (not counting our frogs and a million tad poles). Ours was about 2 feet deep and we rarely lost any fish because of raccoons or the cold winters that we have. We put cattails and lily pads in ours and they came back every year. I enjoy watching the fish and even love hearing the frogs in the evening. I call them my little angels because if someone was close to the house they would be quiet. They were just like a watch dog, you always knew someone was close
