The other thing to take account of is theft - how firmly will it be
attached to the rest of the garden? bearing in mind thieves are quite
capable of stripping York stone from walls and terraces, and digging up
newly planted plants, you might consider how much money you want to
leave lying around your front garden ;-)

Call me a hopelessly out-of-touch optimist if you like, but I'd have
thought a concrete garden pond must be moderately thief-proof.

I'd have thought a stone wall was thief proof, and a *full* water butt
safe just because of the ratio of hassle to profit, but I was wrong on
both counts.
