Sturdy and durable
I have had this in place for 6 months now and not had a single problem. I dug a hole for the pond and filled the soil back around the base. I then assembled a rockery of sorts around the pond with a few pretty weeds that I found in the garden. A couple of aeriating plants and some tadpoles were popped in after I let the water sit for 48 hours to settle. Now have all sorts of little creatures visiting; from frogs to dragonflies. Great, manageable size that took 15 minutes to set up. No leaks or problems of any kind and very affordable. Thinking of buying another next year to add to the pond area. Superb! Thanks!

Sturdy and easy to install
Very quick delivery, and a sturdy product. So much easier to install than a flexible liner, and the result looks great. I like the textured surface, which looks more natural and gives some purchase for wildlife - and there’s a built-in escape ramp for animals that fall in. This size is plenty big enough for a small wildlife pond with a few oxygenating and marginal plants.

Does what it should!
Emergency road tadpole home -just the right size and easy to dig hole to size. Sturdy enough but care needed to get it level

Perfect for a first pond!
Boxed arrived badly damaged and basically open so wasn't hopeful that the pond would have survived but IT DID! Fantastic quality product and absolutely perfect for the space we want it for. Superb value for money and can't wait to get it installed and filled. If you're starting your pond journey and are unsure what to buy, THIS is definitely the right one!

A great little starter pond and a straight-forward weekend project
🐸 This is a great little wildlife pond that is relatively easy to install. It took me about a day to dig out the hole, as I had a raging cold at the time, but no doubt someone fitter than me could do it quicker. The soil filled a wheel barrow and a few buckets to set your expectations. 🐸 With the hole dug and a lot of test fitting as you have to match the pond shape a little, I put some sand in the bottom and seated the pool. Next, I backfilled the sides with soil and put some stones around the edge. Make sure that the pond is reasonably level. 🐸 I filled the pond with rainwater from a water butt, and after everything settled down, I introduced a bunch of tadpoles to get the wildlife pond going. I got them from my sister, who also owns an identical pond, and she gets frogs visiting every year to spawn. The tadpoles have all left the water as froglets. It is very important to give them a way of climbing out of the pone, as the little escape slope at one end is not enough. There is a shallow end to this pond, and that’s ideal for growing some aquatic plants. 🐸 Altogether, I am pleased with the pond and have even had birds visit it for a drink. I can't wait to grow some more tadpoles next year. ✔️

Lovely little pond
It arrived on time and well packed. This little pond was easy to instal with thought given to the different levels. You will need a spirit level to get the pond level overall. Not too much digging out as pond isn’t very deep but just the right size for a small garden. I filled it up with rain water and put a couple of bits of oxygenating weed in. It has stayed very clear and am looking forward to getting some more plants when it warms up a bit. Very satisfied and would recommend and it’s made in Yorkshire!

Robust
Excellent size and quality. Withstood a bit of rough handling to get level so confident it will last

Fast dispatch, accurately described
Good product, good price. Box arrived open and damaged, though pond inside was OK.
