I was wondering if perhaps any one had any photos of a pond that is
partially above ground? We have had an "inground" pond for several years but
also have several water loving dogs and did not want to fence in the pond
and so we are thinking of having it "partially above ground" with some sort
of support as a deterent. Please email me with any suggestions or photos off
list.



thanks!

I have a 29" deep x 20' diameter above ground pond made out of retaining
wall block. It works good for me I did this to keep my dogs out also.

Thanks. Is yours totally above ground? I was thinking of sort of half and
half. And is water temperature/heat more of a problem?

If you go to my link, you will see that my veggie filter is above ground.
Though another 12" of it goes into the ground.

It's made of block with rock veneer on the face.

Unless you have small dogs, a 24" height will not deter your dog if the
perimeter has a wide enough area for him to jump on to! My 2 boxers will
jump on the VF walls and lay there to give them a better view of the Koi
playing around!

There is a photo of my raised pond on the second
page. It is 24" above and 20" or so in ground.

my partially above-ground pond is a 300 gallon stock tank. it didn't stop
the neighbor's dog from getting into it, but the scolding he got while being
dragged out did. he hasn't been back.

we were going to set it lower in the ground with only about a foot above
ground but while digging we ran into a water line. so we added some of the
dirt back in, tamped it down, put in some gravel and sand so we could level
it, and stuck the pond in the hole. we stacked brick around it to cover up
the bright blue. the fish are happy.

But thank you again Lee.

I am beyond obsessed with this hobby I tell you. I'm in the design stage of
my 4th pond! But the wife now wants me to just dig up the first two and
make them into one big pond!

But I love the peace when I'm with my Koi. They don't complain about
deadlines, they don't stress me out about change orders, building department
approvals, they put up with me even when I'm politically incorrect, and
appreciate every minute and dollar I give them!

I love the serenity of watching them glide through the water, with the
sounds of the waterfall in the background. When the water is clear and
"right", and the fish are happy and healthy, it seems that all is right with
the world, and I'm at peace. It's worth the work and effort to learn to be
so rewarded! God only knows I've put in a lot of work and effort in things
that not only didn't have a reward, but actually (pooped) on me instead!
