its 9x5 approx and will be raised 2ft and sunk 1ft a pal phoned me and offerd a load of broken slabs so hey free pond ,ill render the inside then double line ,a water fall will be added at the back and planting beds round the edges to help support the weight

It will look really nice there to ,bit of shade

 

[Paul_MTS]

That will look tops, thats the kind of thing I want to do, The only problem with being in the shade is it's really hard to get a good picture

 

[ryan]

Good luck, keep us posted.

How much higher are you going with that? I thought you were going to dig down a bit?

 

[bribones]

im onto the 4th course so only 12" high at the mo im going up 2ft then digging down in the center leaving a 1ft shelf ill go down maybe 12-18" so 3ft 3ft6 in total
as you can see im no bricklayer but as its getting renderd it makes no odds

That fence will be ok ,look at my signature we have a fence on 2 sides of our pond and it still looks good.

old chap next door built the fence its getting replaced with a new one in a couple of months but yeh it will help with shade and a few climbers will help hide it
