Starting a pond.

[NY Detailer]

I am thinking about building a pond for my deck. This pond can not be dug into the ground as i am not going to rip up the decking as it is new.

Here is what I am thinking of doing, let me know if you think this
will work.
I will pick up one of the plastic container ponds. then along the sides i will hide it and cover it with landscaping interlocking bricks, surrounded by plants and stuff. I will hide the filter in something and have it shoot out back into the pond, kind of using the filter as a waterfall effect.

Anyone know where i can look on the web for a pond. I did a search but only find parts for the pond, not the pond itself.
Thanks

If you are looking to buy one, I wouldn't go with the web. If you did find one, it would cost a small fortune for shipping. If you don't have any pond stores, try home depot or lowes, they generally have the preformed ponds at a decent price.

Just a side note, if your new to ponding I highly recommend

www.fishpondinfo.com

I know Robyn personally and she's a great person to talk to about ponding.

Cory,

That is a nice resource. I did check out that web site before building my pond. Robyn has some great information for fish in general and some very good information for ponds.

Oh yes, I even joined her newly setup forums as I just love her to death. She is extremely busy in her personal life but I'm sure she'd love to help anyone willing to talk with her about their ponding issues. Keep up the good work guys.
