What size pond should i build?
When it comes to size, you are only limited by your imagination. The bigger the better as larger ponds are easier to stabilise and maintain. Shallow ponds heat up and can lead to algae problems; a minimum depth of 300mm is fine unless you plan on keeping koi. Koi prefer deeper ponds of around 1m. You should always check with your local council to see if there are any regulations governing the size or depth of your pond.
