Deciding where you want to put your pond is very important. Your pond needs to be out of direct sunlight if possible. If this isn’t not an option you can add a bridge to give your pond some shade. It is better if the pond isn’t directly under trees because of falling debris. The pond should be close to electricity and also close enough that you can enjoy it!

The size of you pond depends on the space you have and the type of fish you want. If you are sure you want koi you need to have a larger pond. Koi can grow to be quite large. A koi pond needs to be at least 15 feet by 10 feet. If you were thinking about a smaller pond, you may have to go with goldfish.

There is several types of material you can use to build you pond. These are concrete, pre-molded liners, flexible liners, PVC, and rubber. Flexible liners are becoming more common because there is so many different things you can do with them.

Terraces should be added to your pond. These terraces look like shelves inside your pond. They give different depths of water for your fish and also provide a handy place to put your plants.
