Default Puddled clay Garden Pond

Thanks Nick
Im anticipating maybe 15 feet by 10 feet ish. It will be artificially fed
(ie hose pipe), maybe some kind of auto top up, if I can figure it out.

How big is the pond? This would help to determine the best way to puddle
the clay. Puddled clay is quite durable as long as you don't let it dry
out, which in turn would cause the clay to crack. There are various
factors that need to be taken into account with this type of pond ie the
water feed to the pond. Is this going to be a natural source or another
type of source? Let me know and I will try to help you further.
