Best answer
Build a wooden box around it then stick stones to it and fill the gaps with tire grout, sounds weird but looks good!

@scupper this is kind of the concept but just imagine it on a larger scale with bigger stones. and not a fairy house lol! Xxx

Just use the same stone that’s around your pond now

@higa maybe a large plastic storage box with holes cut out for pipes? And covered with stones wouldnt be too heavy to move then for cleaning? Thankyou I get and like the idea.
