Default Want to build a concrete pond

Live in North Herts and want to build a concrete pond.

Does anyone have any advice on where to begin? I am guessing the concrete
needs to be sealed once hardened....

Is it a simple task?

Thanks

Sealing it is easy, just paint with 3 coats of a sealant such as V8 or G4

Maidenhaead Aquatics have a page on conctrete ponds at
http://www.fishkeeper.co.uk/beaver/page14.asp and their shops sell the sealant.

A Google search should bring up lots of information on building a concrete pond.

You can get chopped fibreglass to mix with mortar to give a very strong liner
that you plaster on after the concrete has set.
