Get Your Feet Wet With Back-Yard Pond

Bring the soothing sounds of the babbling brook right into your yard to create your very own nature retreat. Our complete plan gives you instructions on building this combination waterfall-fishpond-fountain without hiring expensive contractors.

The pond pictured here measures about 4 feet wide by 16 feet long and holds 300 gallons of water . . . but you can make yours in the shape and size best for your needs. Directions and photos guide you step-by-step from digging out the soil and installing the pump to pouring the concrete, sealing and rock placement. For your convenience, a source is also listed for ordering a pump, fountain head, underwater lights, etc.
