Ron from Cheshire decided he would build a new 7,500 gallon pond closer to the house, and the old pond has become the housing for the filters.

Ron has agreed to share this with us and these nineteen pages feature the building of the pond with photos and details as the work progressed.
It is hoped that this will be useful to those considering building a large koi pond.
