Question

Really want a water feature but not sure whether to save and buy one pre-made or build my own. Can you show me pictures of yours? Or suggestions and ideas welcomed  

Answer 1

I made ours but wasn't very cheap as used a bought liner fabric which is needed under a butyl liner. It's been down for 20 years and no problems. Doing it yourself means you can have any shape. I worried that if i didn't dig the hole correctly for a preformed pond that it wouldn't sit right.  

Answer 2

Answer 3

Answer 4

@aracelis7 love the fountain and noise

Answer 5

I have a solar water fountain spray, just planning my pond feature for this summer and also wondered if it would be easier if I just purchased a pre-made one; I guess it would depend on whether you want it to feed birds/insects etc or wanted to keep the water clear and use a special water cleaner in the feature.  

Answer 6

I've seen some nice DIY ones made from half barrels or tin baths. Not made one myself yet though.  

Answer 7

Ours is a half barrel . the birds used to bathe in it in the summer
