I’ve just found your channel, been watching your videos. This has got to be the best video I’ve watched in ages, hats off to you all, great work

[@scotthendersonKoiAndHawks]

Thank you for your kind comment I'm glad you enjoyed It 👍

[@44yearsbeingme56]

Did you do anything with the back wall before you lined it? I think I’d have boarded it and backfilled it with something to make it flush. Did the liner not just balloon out in to the void under the weight of water?

[@scotthendersonKoiAndHawks]

Yeah we sorted it mate no problems with that

[@TelfordKoiPond]

Excellent job sir, the fish must be loving life now😊👍

Thanks appreciate the comment 👍

[@MrSugarbearsmom]

What a great video - thank you for taking time to film and share this! It is not something that is seen too often (if ever) - the tear down/rebuild of an aged pond - wish i would have seen it before i built mine. Y'all have a heart of gold, hope all of your backs are doing well, and best wishes for Kathy and Big John. I know the fish are high-finning it!! (i think 'cracking job' is going to be my new buzz word here in western North Carolina!- love it!!!!!)

[@scotthendersonKoiAndHawks]

It's comments like this that make it worth it and sets you up for a good day I'll pass this to the lads and John's family. Thank you it's much appreciated and I'm sure you've done a cracking job on your pond 😊

[@thestruths1093]

[@scotthendersonKoiAndHawks]

Thank you 👍

[@micheler3011]

Great job on that fish pond, John the dad must be so pleased with the outcome. I wondered what was happening with that fish with its mouth so far outside the water after they were put in, I am curious if that’s the one that died.how come you guys did not place back the bog, is the bog just plants? I love the pond , the fish are lovely and look happy in it. Great job guys I enjoyed this video!

[@scotthendersonKoiAndHawks]

Hi thanks for the coment John is made up with the pond always sat by it. I think the fish your on about is the sturgeon it was just looking for food it's always like that he still has that fish 👍 we removed the bog for John to make the pond easier for him to maintain

[@BigNatorStrength]

The bog is the only reason it was healthy for 40 years should def have kept it in

[@4wheeldad]

[@MalamuteMan1]

Please tell me you used aquasafe or similar before putting those poor fish in?! Yes you added the old pond water later which will help but it looked like you initially put them straight into tap water which will burn their gills.

[@scotthendersonKoiAndHawks]

Yes we did it's nearly 1year on and all the fish are doing well

Loved the video, I have just done the same thing this spring to my pond and added sleepers. I did it myself because I couldn't afford to get it done but its just like yours, it makes you proud to do something yourself, really enjoyed the video, wish I had filmed my build. Look forward to updates on it as it matures 👍

[@scotthendersonKoiAndHawks]

Thank you sleeper ponds are easy pretty inexpensive and very enjoyable. Good luck with your pond happy ponding 👍

great work lads really great work for a novice build one thing cover the exsposed liner it will suffer sun frost and last a coupe of years covered it will last twenty at least and looks better to see no liner but great work i hope he loves the new pond and it last another 40 yrs

Thank you and I'll take your advice on bored 👍

[@petermartin7971]

Just shows what you can achieve when you pull together very rewarding 🐠🦈🐠

[@scotthendersonKoiAndHawks]

Definitely mate 👍

[@janethardenburgh9911]

Could the medal screws and brackets work through the liner eventually ? Causing a leak?

[@scotthendersonKoiAndHawks]

I don't thinks that would work as you'd be putting holes in the liner the it will more than likely leak

[@koikarma5363]

Nice job well done 👍👍🚀🚀

[@scotthendersonKoiAndHawks]

Thank you 👍

[@keithbudzinskio64]

I would so love to have a pond like that‼️ you should however make a water fall with rocks

What's stopping you ? If you have space it's doable 👍 They added a bakki shower wich is similar to a water fall

Nice job but i didnt see them backfill the void where the tree stump was now the water will push the liner out in that spot hope it doesnt affect the liner

[@scotthendersonKoiAndHawks]

Thank you we didn't back fill the hole we put some beems under the sleepers and attached a board to it

[@davidrix804]

Great job except for you not putting sand down before the liner!

[@travishorn1847]

This is a very good video on what not to do.

[@scotthendersonKoiAndHawks]

What shouldn't we have done

[@sarahlewis7669]

I’ve never heard of staples in a waterproof liner? Surely it will cause a weakness and tear thus leaking? Or am I stupid.

[@scotthendersonKoiAndHawks]

We only staple the under lay the actual liner is just placed in the pond and water holds that in place 👍

[@sarahlewis7669]

I wish somebody would help me like these guys helped. I’ve been in my house 4 years and not one person has knocked on my door to welcome me or offer help while I was going through chemo. This gives me faith in humanity just not where I live.

[@scotthendersonKoiAndHawks]

Sorry to hear that Sarah. Unfortunately we now live in a world we're everyone looks out for them self's. It's not like the old days we're everyone used to look out for each other you could leave your doors unlocked and not worry it's a shame really people need help but are scared to ask.

[@user-pwfus]

Never staple the inside of the fabric or liner more chance of a leak you guys should have double lined the pool liner or built it out of concrete much stronger and will last forever when done correctly.

[@scotthendersonKoiAndHawks]

Thanks for the info 👍

[@Merb34st]

Shame you couldn't keep the bog. It kept that pond going for years.
