The layout I am considering is a water feature which will stand about 1m
tall, over flowing through a waterfall into a shallow stream and leading
into the main pond, which will be about (surface) 2.5 x 3.5m and a varying
depth to a maximum of 1.5m. To help with the filtration I will include an
off the shelf system, but feel that the water feature can flow through a
small pool that is loaded with some suitable planting to help naturally
clean
the water.

So the areas that I would be looking at is includes :

-- water feature sat on top of a "tray" .

-- plant pool

-- waterfall

-- stream (about 3m long and 30cm wide)

-- pond

Any help appreciated.

Hi Sean, My first question is, do you plan to do the work yourself or hire
it done? I'm assuming the former, but if the later, you might want to look
into that new blow on liner and price compare. Anyone remember the name of
that stuff by chance? ~ jan

Planning to do this myself.

It will be the second pond (moved house).
