Raised Ponds

A pond no-longer needs to be put into a hole in the ground. The latest fashion has ponds raised at least 2 feet high and this makes for easy viewing and easier maintenance.

Benefits include – no excavation, location on top of hard or soft landscape, quick and easy installation, back saving convenience.

Tips for raised Ponds

• Use UV resistant/secure materials such as rock or presure treated timber.
• Ensure the walls are strong enough to take the weight of water.
• Build the pond with insulation to delay or minimise freezing.

This photo supplied by Daisybush gives a hint of what can be achieved on a large scale. You can create your own feature with a pre-moulded pond in a  raised bed or purpose built area.

Raised bed kits are available from Bradshaws, Harrod and Amazon
