I would be inclined to go for the 3 legged stool approach. That way you
don't have anything visible to spoil the view.

Minimum bottom area required. Just make sure the bottoms of the legs are
large and soft enough not to damage the liner.

Or you can make similar with pvc spray painted black?

The above is really good for ponds that are straight sided,

Unfortunately sides slope so there is little bottom floor not already
filled with pumps, filters , iris blocks or plants

(so DH doesn't have to go diving).

Won't be Dh will be me so am already figuring out a "withdrwal" system
for next time
