Nice n simple, thnx for the idea

[@alexisthisreal5488]

Thankyou for watching

[@jamespalmer3716]

those trainers are perfect for digging in mud 🤣. youve done an mazing job by the way

[@alexisthisreal5488]

You have no idea. That part was not well thought out. I didn't wanna get my work boots dirty. After all I'm an electrician. Not cut out for this manual labour. 😁

[@jamespalmer3716]

what would be an average price to get an outside power source fitted mate

[@michaelsteele5495]

I like the build very simple and functional, I want to build one like it but with a glass and skimmer.

[@alexisthisreal5488]

Yes it's a good idea. This was done on a budget and designed to last less than 10 years. I would advise building on concrete base to prolong life of sleepers. Depending on size sleepers stacked flat for more strength if larger pond.

Thank you for uploading this video. Im also planning to make a simple pond like this.

[@alexisthisreal5488]

Thanks. I may do a more detailed video on the diy filter as the money you save doing it yourself is a lot. They work much better as well.

@@alexisthisreal5488 looking forward to it!

Nicely built my friend made one similar a few years ago just subscribed too 👍

[@alexisthisreal5488]

Cheers. Second one I built. Just wish I had a bigger garden.

[@lindaholland6163]

Can you tell me name of plants please. Love the pond

[@alexisthisreal5488]

Water Hawthorn, which is similar to lily. Plants at back are orange peel plant. At front water forget me not. Weeping willow next to pond and some ferns to cover filter water butt.
