After 18 years the wife says the above ground pool has to go to make way for a
pond. So where do I start? I'm looking at something that will be about 20' wide
by 3-4' deep. So I'm looking for info on how, what and where. The pond will be
located on a north facing slope with sun about 3/4 of the day, located in SE Pa
if that makes any difference. Thank's

Welcome to rec.ponds!

Here are three great pages to start with ~

http://www.pondrushes.net/
and
http://www.geocities.com/bickal2000/pond.htm
and
http://www.fishpondinfo.com

Decide what you want in a pond so you can plan
ahead. Like lots blooming lilies? Or are you bitten by the koi bug? The two
don't always get a long. Also are raccoons a pest in your area? You can plan
for them.
What are your winters like? Do you know your gardening zone?
Do you have plans to get electricity out to the pond?
Let's see... what else? ;-)
