Pond construction

Ron's pond 14. The filter house


The timber frame is in place The other side of the filter house

Whilst the fibreglassing was curing, I started construction of the housing for the filters. Using the old pond walls as a foundation a simple 'shed like' building was erected over the whole area. In the photo on the right it can be seen a wall has been built that divides the old pond area in half. The filters will occupy one half whilst the area beyond the filter house will be decked to provide a seating area

The Nexus in position Nexus and pipework

The nexus will be fed from one of the bottom drains and this was positioned in the filter area prior to finishing the building. In the photo on the right the nexus is positioned and the various pipes now protrude through the wall.

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.
