Here's my goldfish pond. It is ruffly 900g (i think). 3 feet deep at on end and stepping up on the other. The bridge only runs about 4 feet, so structurally is fairly simple. I ended up edging the whole thing in a more "modern" look vs stone edging. This helps tie it to the deck/pergola. I (like many people) have builders remorse... in that i wish i would have built it slightly larger then where i ended up :)

Beautiful design nevermore.

I don't have a bridge, but a dock that also houses
the skimmer underneith it.

these photos are from 2004

Nice! That gives me an idea for "shelves" at least in one area of my pool.

I have a bunch of pond video's that I took
this summer, here is one...

Also from there you can get to a bunch
of other pond videos that other people
took.

Here is a link that might be useful: YouTube video

nevermore that is really nice love the pics. cliff and joann i have already watched your video's all of them i think lol and drooled :). what you guys did is fabulous and your koi are beautiful. how many hours per week upkeep you think? thanks for sharing your personal serene areas...just gorgeous!

ymaddox, the head guy around here always says, "a pond
is as much work, or as little work, as you want to make it."
In early spring when the trees are dropping the tannins into the pond, there
is naturally more maintenance, note the tea colored
water in the earlier videos from the tannins.

After that the water sharpens up, and the cleaning
of the filters is usually once a week.

The plantings around the pond take care of themselves,
we planted from the get go -- lots of perennial ground covers...they take over,
thus leave no room for weeds to grow.

Just keep everything wet and happy, in the pond and outa
the pond! :)

will you send me some babies that look just like that...i am so drooling. that pic just screams peace and serenity. i love how you have the i guess ella calls them shelves to seperate, would be great both if you wanted to put a pair together for a certain mate and to put babies in. love the idea to use it for that.

noone else has pics of their ponds...saw one with a old fire hydrant for the waterfall it was so neat:) come on pics please to get through these winter days. and cliff and joann i am still up for some babies when i get mine dug lol. seriously i would like to find some individuals to buy some from.

with tongue in cheek; I assume you want to see something recent?????
