Well thought I may start a log here things have started on the garden first thing is to install the patio. The place i wanted the pond it was not permitted due to a soak away and building regulations means I cant put a pond over it so will be moving the shed in pictures and it can go across there means more space and bigger pond as well ๐Ÿ‘

Here is work so far all be it no pond in these pictures work has started

I'm currently thinking something along these lines that I see done and it's not to small and not overly big and would go in nicely in the space I have thinking size wize 8ft wide by 20ft long x 6ft deep

Filtration i been chatting to joe about it got as far as having a bottom drain and surface drain that's about it so far. Been concentrating on the patio.
