[@wilfredomatajr.9981]

Greetings to your dog, hope is also doing fine. Nice pond by the way! Thank you for the idea!

[@jtbackwoods]

good effort and well done digging and mixing concrete is not easy

[@wp90NL]

Thanks dude, this really helps to see the steps of making a pond...

[@shyne187]

Nice job, well planned and executed for a superb final result.... Good one.

[@family-xc8vt]

[@ThePBWay]

[@dxbdxb242]

[@meezerlover]

Wow, I got tired just watching the video. My pond isn't anywhere that large and I didn't even build it...lol Great job!

[@TheDrix12]

very nice pond.. want to have like that. soon.

[@yvonneost12]

Very nice , and yes you could'nt have done it without the wife's food....well done.

[@mister2driver]

Great work, an inspiration.

[@chuzziii]

I love it! What lucky fish you have.

[@Goonmachine1]

Very cool project, awesome music choice as well haha

[@66koi]

Great news , hoping to do a pond early next year so will be doing picture video too ,but some great ideas of yours

[@JhunDumsTVXj]

Wow nice.

[@whiskypaul316]

Nice job well done , like it mate.

[@ardanriver]

So beautiful

[@jairus1230]

wow! that really beautiful pond u have.

[@kcpoynter]

Very good

[@MrBorderghost]

My grandad built one like this years ago but never used a liner the concrete was waterproof enough and he kept his golfish and koi very well in there for years never tested the water for lime/amonia etc but all i know is the fish and plants thrived in there a few years later he made me a smaller version about 7 feet long 2 feet deep again just bricks and cement no liner....

[@hawaiidoves]

great job!!! How many gallons? Where's your next video of the completed pond?

[@kiashamed]

HOw much would a project like this cost today if you build it yourself?? ANd how long did it take you?

[@scottylad79]

nice pond ive got a pond myself. but looking to go the concrete method next time with the painting just wondering are them 6inch blocks or 9inch on ther flat they looked very like 9inch. but what made me doubt the paving bricks over hang buy about 10mil each side so thats y im asking are they 6inch also cheers

[@plantcell2]

Nice pond, how many liters does it hold and how many fish u got, are they all koi.

[@deano91209]

nice on just like a swimming pool how many fish can u fit in there

[@hawaiidoves]

Very nice! How many gals.?

[@pixie110267]

Great job man you are an inspiration to all of us who planning to do something like that !!! I can do everything you did but for me is really hard to do the plumbing who teach you that part ? what the water pump do ?

[@RothstarGaming]

Hi, just in the middle of building a very similar pond. How did you get the pipe for the bottom drain through the brickwork? ... thanks

[@africatwinadventures]

Dig a channel from middle under wall and footings a d back up

[@RothstarGaming]

richandshirl nice one thanks. Will give that a go hopefully today 👍

[@moedem]

its excellant and i love it,the hole in the middle is that the filter hole yeah?

[@KoiFan100]

@richandshirl I just thought... if you never lost a fish its good! Then you had luck! Althought i had dug more deep I find it is a very nice pond! with very nice fish in it!

[@PompanoBeachBabe]

Looks like it would make a wonderful exercise pool except for all the fish in there. I assume the fish are not for food or would have other fish besides coi of gold fish. Are they easier to raise than tilapia for eating? Or do they produce so greatly that you can't keep up with them for occasiona meals?

[@multihjalle]

Hold on to that lady becuase they dont grow on all trees . beutiful pond btw

[@johanfamus]

i like it it looks really good and nice

[@africatwinadventures]

when the water is in just fold over pin down with a nail and put last course of blocks on,mine stayed put for the last 5 years.:)

[@shawnwiltshire9039]

That song.... made mi laugh so hard. childhood memories...

[@stantonporsche]

how did you get the corners cut so that the liner does not bunch up at the corners?

[@gbzhemn1]

@stantonporsche It's a bit hard to explain but it's just like wrapping a gift in paper, except it's inside out. As already mentioned, fold it up against the wall.

[@ajanisgreat]

Looks awesome!

[@Deejono1]

This would be a great turtle pond! :)

[@mirola73]

At least now I know 6 high on the side is good enough for a pond wall. Intending to do about the same, but dig down about a foot as well

[@africatwinadventures]

spot on !

[@plantcell2]

wat type of koi do u have, i have 12 koi at the moment, hoping to get a kohaku.

[@goldfishpondmaster]

nice pond, can u tell me what the inside dimension is?

[@Rboybot]

Brilliant pond, how much did all that cost?

[@IntegraGSR5]

1 question. why didnt u just go with all concrete instead of using liner ? btw your pond is so nice, i really like it . just wondering thats all.

[@simonardy9207]

you buy the black plastic / plastic taped to the pool where??????????

[@pathman2]

From the music, I'm expecting the seven dwarfs to build the pond

[@sakibislam3986]

They have plastic sheeting at most big home improvement stores- home depot , lowes ,ace hardware.... 6 mil plastic sheeting wud be ok but it's not quite the same as pond liner.... Up to u

[@salistorymaker]

wheres the pergola ?? and well done bro xxxx

[@sonictigertv1721]

Nice work. way to go. you two deserve a swim! haha

[@salistorymaker]

hey where's the pergola? thats the bit i love :O) well done bro xxx

[@BobanOrlovic]

What is that plastic called? And were can I get one that big?

[@FUNisUnderRated]

you have a cute dog

[@ThreeCousinsAndaNoob]

Thats awesome! Have you ever gone swimming with the fishies? haha

[@DeidaraR0X]

hey nice vid! did you filter the water or just fill it in w/out putting in pipes or anything?? 5/5

[@paramedic6801]

Hi, great video. I am building a pond and wondering how did you get the liner to attach at the top of the walls? thanks shawn

[@staffysmile3325]

Late to the post but liner is usually held down using wooden panels screwed into the brick or with another layer of bricks In this clip it looks like he used both methods,you can see a wooden trim around the pond which can be seen at 2:00 👍🏻 then he added another layer of bricks also

[@2ndAveMedia]

how much did this cost you and please convert to american dollars because maybe i want to do this

[@66koi]

Hi , did you concrete the base or just a collar for the block work please

[@africatwinadventures]

Collar and a bottom drain :)

[@66koi]

Thankyou , everything still ok , must be over 10 yr now is it

[@africatwinadventures]

@@66koi yep still ok... needs painting outside...but its winter...but all fine..

[@66koi]

richandshirl hi , did you put a full concrete floor in or just a sand bend on the base please

[@africatwinadventures]

[@africatwinadventures]

[@lorespot166]

[@philcleverly3942]

[@leewilson2719]

Hi there did you use 4 inch concrete block on the build and did you have any problem with water pressure within the pond it's self cheers

[@africatwinadventures]

+Lee Wilson yes I did and no probs at all its still running perfect :)

[@pud22dup]

have you ever been tempted to swim with your fish in the summer?? and by the way it looks great nice build,what type of pump did you attach to the bottom drain??

[@pimpjuice739]

very nice, but was the wife ok with the pond taking like 70% of the garden XD

[@Technologyadvisor1]

[@africatwinadventures]

Just normal sand from b.q

[@Technologyadvisor1]

@@africatwinadventures sharp sand ? red builders sand yellow sand ?

[@africatwinadventures]

Red sand not sharp..

[@africatwinadventures]

dense concrete blocks £1 each and well heavy rich

[@leewilson2719]

nice build well done

[@africatwinadventures]

+Lee Wilson cheers buddy

[@tospicy4ya]

How did u put liner over the bottom drain and keep water in?

[@Scruffoid]

there some really good info on the net saying that you don tneed lots of depth in a pond to grow large fish. Go do some more reading instead of posting silly things like that. Great pond build!! how many litres all up is that ?

[@safesclart]

Cool comment! I agree "coi of gold fish" what was he thinking....especially when we are talking about " for occasiona meals" ?

[@deano91209]

wicked but hey must be haed to keep

[@africatwinadventures]

its over that ..... all alive and perfect after years , so must be doin something right

[@midmams]

richandshirl ঞণঙজ

[@africatwinadventures]

it now has lillies and oxygenators what you see was just the finished pond in so to speak raw form. rich

[@africatwinadventures]

cool

[@Duhitpt]

when u get tired of ur fish u can turn it to a pool :D

[@africatwinadventures]

@lynda46 well its been there 3yrs ,all levels perfect i.e ammonia ,nitrite etc never lost a fish ,and alls awsome,as for the carpet ,if you watch i also used the proper underlay that came with liner.

[@lynda46]

Nice pond, bit too shallow for koi, looks about 4 feet? and carpet is a bad thing as it rots. But apart from that well done.

[@ApissLab]

nice easy!!

[@africatwinadventures]

you dont stick the liner the water holds it in place and just play around with the corners there easy b4 you fill a right git after. rich

[@africatwinadventures]

20ft/12ft and the filter is great nexus eazypod rich

[@wivaquif]
