Must be my lucky day, me stumbling across your web page in my search for what seems to be the impossible.
If I can be so bold and ask a question.
We have just moved to a new house, leaving our 12' x 6' x 4' Koi pond after some 20 years and as you guessed we're looking to build another.
The design I have in mind, whilst keeping all happy !! is to raise the pond a least 3' above ground, to fit in with the rset of the garden. The pond will then be some 5' deep x 14' x 7'. The issue I have is how to build a structure to support that pressure/weight of water.
My initial intention was to create the basic structure out of timber, using 3 x 3 or 4 x 4's for supports sunk into the base by some 3'.
I would appreciate any help you could afford me with my dilemma, or point me in the direction of someone who has a similar design. Just to complicate matters I'm not in a position to spent thousands !
Kindest regards.
