Question

I'm planning to build a RAISED pond, probably in brieze blocks, and lined with CONCRETE. Should there be a double thickness of blocks? Should I use a reinforcing mesh (as suggested in pevious post) inside before applying concrete? How thick should the concrete be? Is it different to cement from the D.I.Y. shops (in U.K.) ? What size is adequate - if I only want it 2' wide and 2'6"-3' high, 6' long 'L' shape in corner of yard, will this be good enough for 17 largish 7"-10" fantail goldfish. They are currently making do in a half filled bath for past 5 years! Is there a better way for a raised pond?
