I built an 8 X 8 out of stacked Landscape filters. It sits on ground, so
no worry about weight. Used long lag bolts to secure it, put old carpet
padding inside the frame, and used a retired swimming pool liner. Has been
going 3 years now-doing fine ! On the deck, I would stress reinforcing the
structure ! This thing is Heavy ! Also, plan your plumbing ahead of
installing ! Good Luck, and you WILL enjoy it !--J.B.

I want to build a pond on my deck and am wondering if anyone has any
ideas. I'm aiming for a 3' x 6' footprint, about 2.5' deep. I'm
considering building this out of thick glass, or galvanized & welded
steel, or a strong plywood frame with standard pond liner inside it.
The advantage of the homemade approach is I can make it to the exact
dimensions I want, and build in the landscaping around it (i.e., with
attached planter boxes as opposed to flower pots).

Has anyone out there built a pond above ground this size? Any ideas
for the design?
Many thanks...
