HOW TO BUILD A RAISED WOODEN KOI POND!

Japanese koi are some of the most beautiful fish you can get, in my opinion, and to be able to build a raised wooden koi pond in my own back garden for the first time ever is incredible! With help from my dad who has had many ponds in the past, we built a new pond in two days! In the future we plan on bringing his current fish down from where they currently live, to live in this pond, until my dad builds a new pond in the new house so he can have them back and I can then get my own baby Japanese koi!

Let us know what you think of the build, maybe what you would have done differently, or what you really liked, and even what your favourite fish is!

Just like to thank you for this video I followed it step by step and made my own. So much cheaper and one happy wife now

This is the first video I have watched by yourself, and now it’s gonna cost me some money !! Simply got to have one 😄.

I literally had purchased all my lumber already, and was starting to feel a little overwhelmed. Watched your video, and I'm completely excited and remotivated. Mine is going to be almost exactly like this, only 1 foot longer, and a 1 foot ledge on 3 sides for added water garden

Great video! My favourite part was when you introduced all the Koi!

The dance moves made my day 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Sick man! I really like the build. Much simpler than I was expecting.

This was super helpful! Definitely going to build one soon!!!

[carolinecostas]

That's so cool!! Well done both of you 👏

Is it absolutely necessary to have a solid concrete bottom? Adding a concrete slab would up the cost, a lot!

[martynskoipondandgarden]

nice build my friend ive build the same pond myself a few years ago just subscribed too 👍👍

[repzooticanimalcenter]

Thank you for sharing! Just found this video since I started on a DIY turtle pond inside and this was very helpful! Now I have to check out more of your videos for sure.

Just one question: Did you cut of the liner under the decking, or did you attach the decking on top of the liner afterwards to hold it in place?

[VOLVObft]

Won't the wood that is in contact with the cement start to rot? How long does it last?

[chasingkoi]

Looks tremendous sir top stuff just subed, cheers Terry

[tomchristensen]

Not bad... looks as if on video water level is off a touch. On a slant. But good job.

[thomasassim-ita]

I love this video, very simple DIY job.. thanks for sharing this

[NorthernAnts]

Thanks for the video mate!
Im looking up alot of research atm as i want to build my first pond and i want to also do a raised one roughly this size too! Can i ask you what you did after this please regarding a pump for your pond? Like what pump did you use was there anything else added what is needed? Not as in lighting or anything but more so of things that are needed such as pumps, filters or whatever?

Thanks man, liked and subbed

8:03 what tool is your pops using here?

[thisislargemouth]

I'm going to do a similar build for North American native fish. Trying to decide whether I want you use wood or cinder blocks. I've got quite a bit of wood working experience and ZERO masonry or block work experience. However, I feel like the block pond would outlast wood. How long do you think a structure liike this made of treated wood can last?

[LuisSanchez-wfzw]

How thick is that pond liner and what is the material called? I understand there are different plastics and thicknesses so wondering what your dad uses ?

[FlowerhornUK]

Nice pond and size, I have only one question as I’m thinking to build my first pond… In the event of heavy rain for days in uk, how is the water level maintained? Did you make any emergency holes for the water outlet? Thanks
