A Guide to Modern Koi Pond Construction

Pond edging - 2.

[Sketch of pond edging] Fig 15a shows a different way of raising the wall. The 9" blocks are carried to the full height of the wall as can be seen in this photo.

[Concrete base]

 The 9" blocks are carried to the full height of the wall as can be seen in this photo. The fibreglass is taken over the top of the blocks in the same way as described for fig 15.

[Rocks in position]

 With the wider wall it is still possible to use shaped bricks as shown in fig 15, but in this case the owner has chosen to use paving slabs which will also match those used for the patio alongside the pond.
Some people prefer this way of building the walls as it is stronger, and the wider top of the wall does allow you to sit on it when observing or feeding the fish.
On the next page is Pond edging - 3.

This website started with a booklet which I made up originally for the help of those members of the BKKS - South Wales Section who were intending to start building a koi pond, and as the website has expanded more information and articles from other people have been included. This is for general guidance only, and we do not take any responsibility for problems that might occur by following these ideas. It is important that you check out everything in your area, and check on local laws and rules that may apply.
