Hi Josh, it’s looking good pal. I fitted a kockney koi wide mouth skimmer to my block work. I actually chiselled and use an angle grinder to cut the shape of it into the block work. Take a look at my video of 24th Oct 2021 and you can see from the photos how it came out. Having said that, I see you are using a liner so the way you have it might be the best option. I’d just be worried about it rotting.

Hi Mate. Your method of cutting it in is much better...and if id known what I know now I wouldn't have left a gap in the blocks. I'm going to make a big brew this evening, head out and see if I can come up with a better plan! Thanks for the kick up the arse! :)

@@BrizzleKoi You’re idea may work fine as you will not have to worry about the folds with the liner so much

@Si's World of Koi my main concern is the wood rotting. I'm pretty certain the pond water won't effect the wood but rain water has the potential to run off the top of the skimmer and work its way down to the 2 x 2 tiber frame. I'll sort it in a day or two and post another vid

Looks solid enough mate, and the wood will also be protected by the insulation boards won't they?

[@BrizzleKoi]

Yeh it's proper solid...but I am worried about rain water sitting in the open part on the outside of the pond.
