Im thinking of building a water garden. How large should I make it?
Usually people start out fairly small and after several years they wish that they had made it larger. It is best to build one as large as your space will accommodate. Preformed ponds limit you to the size and shape and also are usually not deep enough to keep fish over the winter. Your pond needs to be at least 30 inches deep in one area to keep fish over winter. We recommend 45mill rubber liner for your water garden. It has a 20 year guarantee against UV rays and is strong enough to place stone on top of it to make it look more natural.
