Main reason is because you want one! Benefits are: its very soothing to look at and interesting to see all the wildlife it attracts – frogs, dragonflies, newts if you’re lucky and much more. You need to decide whether you want a natural wildlife pond or a formal one – I reckon formal ones are easier to build, but if you go for that option make sure there is somewhere that tiny froglets etc can climb out – a basket of eg water iris in one corner would do nicely.
Down side is occasionally you may need to empty it, especially if it isn’t big enough – you really need a minimum of about 8 x6 feet for the water to stay balanced well. You will need to put a net over it in autumn if there are trees nearby, to prevent a lot of leaves blowing into it. Digging the hole is hard work and you need to put the excavated stuff somewhere.
Get some books from the library about garden ponds – you will find heaps of helpful information. Better than looking on the net as you can keep referring to them.
Before you start
It’s easy to create a simple pond in your own garden. Always consider the following:
•The view of the feature from every angle of the garden and house.
•The type of pond – will you use a liner or a preformed pool?
•The size of the pond.
•The type of plants you wish to grow. Different plants require different depths of water.
•Avoid shady areas, especially near deciduous trees.
•Seek professional advice when constructing complicated designs and using electricity to operate pumps.
What to do
Marking out
•Define the perimeter of the pond, either with string, a length of hosepipe, or by trickling a layer of dry sand through your fingers.
• Remove the turf from the area and stack neatly away from the working place.
Digging
•Excavate the area with a spade to the depth of the first shelf. Mark the outline of the shelf with sand or string.
•Dig out the centre of the pond and either add additional shelves, or dig until the required maximum depth has been reached.
•Check each shelf is level.
Wildlife in mind
•Move the dug-out soil to another area of the garden.
•Check the sides of the pond following the profile you intended. It’s a good idea to give one side of the pond a gentle slope to offer animals, such as hedgehogs, a means of escape if they fall in.
Lining the pond
•Remove any lumps or sharp stones from the hole. Then spread a 3cm (1.2in) layer of soft builder’s sand over the area. This will help protect the butyl liner being punctured.
•A layer of pond underlay or old carpet above the sand will provide additional protection.
•Get a friend to assist in unfolding the butyl liner. Spread it evenly over the hole taking care not to damage it by dragging it on the ground. Secure the sides of the liner with bricks.
Filling up
•Start filling the pool with water and pull the edges of the liner so that it fits neatly over the contours of the pond.
•Continue filling the hole with water until the pond is full.
•Trim the sides of the liner leaving a 30cm (12in) overlap around the sides of the pond.
•Cover these with paving slabs, or if you want to create a more natural effect, lay turf up to the water’s edge.
•The liner should be covered to prevent sunlight causing it to perish. Position plants and add oxygenators. If you want to add fish wait six weeks until the plants are established.

Never put a water feature in your yard without some type of movement. It beomes breeding ground for mosquitos!
wow…. this is bad.
the water has no movement to it whatsoever, i bet it will turn into an algae filled pit of death.. you need aeration in the water, mate. otherwise, all you have built is a stagnant pit that is an eyesore.
you Russians are an unique bunch… there were so many things about this pond that doesn’t make any sense.. but, as long you are happy.. i guess.
some wind-up plastic fish would go great with that blue plastic liner
Nul… Trop profond pour la largeur et tout ce plastique…
Avant on fait un plan et surtout on réfléchie.
Vidéo bcp trop longue et sponsorisé pas cool….
Simply ghastly!!!
It’s very nice but I’m not keen on the blue lining. Takes away from the natural look of the pond, and becomes the focal point. But to each their own. Otherwise pretty nice. I would add a pump also, I’m not sure if you did or not off screen.
love your job hard work 10 out 10
You should’ve used flat sandstone rocks to cover up that ugly blue liner
Looks like you did a lot of work but there must be a way to build a pond without all the plastic. What happens to the plastic over time I wonder?
Lovely.
do you realize you could never do this in Texas your dirt cuts like butter. we don’t use shovels we use pole diggers.
The pit to hell
RIDÍCULO ESTE PLASTICO APARENTE !
pond is very very deep , keep out of children’s reach
not to deep I have a little girl
Personally using these materials I would put the sand in first then the plastic liner and then given it a layer of cement which I would have stuck the cobbles onto.
awwsome
Ewww the spider in the glove lol shake the glove out next time lol
great work mr
i salute u
hermoso talento el. de los trocitos
Did anyone notice the chicken in the background???
Love the music at the beginning. Sounds very Pink Floyd-ish.
Good initial concept. However, consider using larger tiers or pond shelves so you can completely cover the liner with larger natural stones, boulders and gravel… and you can hide the edges of that glowing blue liner of the pond with Rock On A Roll or blend in with gravel and stone. Covering the liner will help protect it from UV and help naturalize your pond to the surroundings. Your liner will last much, much longer.
Additionally, reduce your work and routine maintenance with a pond pump and filtration system. Your water will be clear instead of muck green as in your video from 1 month later. Unless you have fish, your pond doesn’t need to be any deeper than 2 feet. All you have is time…might as well spend your time relaxing and enjoying your pond instead of maintaining it. Enjoy bud. 🙂
what is the powder stuff you are sprinkling all over the pond
Ощущение, что некоторое непонимание процесса, всю основную работу проделал, еще чуть чуть и совсем хорошо бы было..
1 – все укрепил цементом, кроме самой важной части – “глубинного стакана” эту часть всегда жестким каркасом делают.
2 – вместо десяти пленок кладут геотекстиль, или хотя бы мешками застелил, чтоб пленка лежала на мягкой подкладке и не рвалась
3 – а как же эстетика?? идея в том, что пруд должен выглядеть как настоящий природный, а не как детский пластиковый круг с водой, куда тыкнули пучок травы, есть куча видео где показывается как скрыть пластик.
I would not want to be the fish living in that thing or so called pond
wow…you should have considered a black liner.
here is a trivia question: what kind of a scumbag asshole intentionally adds advertisements throughout the video? Answer: Rybakow Fine Art!
no pomp? no filter? no water flow? in what episode of pound gone wrong can i see your pound?
great vid man. wish my soil was as easy to work with like urs, had to hire a back hoe to come out and finish my dig
I love the deep part of yourr pond,Fish might be able to keep warmer in winter in that hole.My partner was a fencer so next time we do a pond will create something like yours.Love your pond and thanks for the ideas,
If you want to make eco just use inplix handbooks
