Pond descriptions

Alan's pond

It was originally a Koi pond and separate Goldfish pond. The new pond is a combination of the two existing structures with extra depth of 4'6" on the RH side of the pond.
I have twelve fish, one Shubunkin and eleven Koi which vary in length from 4" up to 24".

This website started with a booklet which I made up originally for the help of those members of the BKKS - South Wales Section who were intending to start building a koi pond, and as the website has expanded more information and articles from other people have been included. This is for general guidance only, and we do not take any responsibility for problems that might occur by following these ideas. It is important that you check out everything in your area, and check on local laws and rules that may apply.
