Small raised pond
For this pond the decking required additional work to take the weight of 750 litres of water, the raised pond its self is built from treated sleepers and then insulated using a insulation board, reinforced glass installed for the two windows. The pond is then lined and a pump and UV filter system installed along with an air pump. As its important to have lots of plants the section at the back houses plants that are sat in the water this allowing the top to be covered in the winter. Gravel added to the bottom and lots of plants for the fish and to help with the eco system. I added a bespoke net that can be lifted out.
large raised pond build in oxford
Large raised pond build in Oxford, built for 36 baby fish that were all living in a pond too small for them.
This was built again bolting treated sleepers together, fully insulated, lined with a viewing window for Maisie(the dog), this pond has a water feature pump and filter system, also a air pump and lighting. Cupboard added at the back where there is access to electrics and also storage for buckets etc for cleaning out filter system when required. Once built some pictures were taken a few months later when the plants are added and also a heron fence was installed. See video for the switch on and see if you can spot the very small baby goldfish. Having built a few now and owning ponds myself I now have the experience not just to build them but to advise on what's required for the whole eco system for fish to work, |
