You just described the pond we're building, 2 feet dug below ground, 2 feet above ground built up w/4x4's. We're trying to figure out filtration, skimmer, pumps...blah!!Thanks Jen yeah i have seen wooden ones before and is really where i got the ideal from, one of the local pet shops used those yard timbers and went up to about 4 feet and nailed the liner into the wood and then placed another timber on top of the liner to hide it that was nice but it was inside..
Yep London you will need to start out with adults or near adult size with only three months of warm weather, we usually get anywhere from 5 to 6 months of warm to friggen hot weather here LOL..
