| After deciding on the best position for a pond in your garden, you need to consider its style and dimensions as well as the construction materials. A self sustaining pond that does not require constant maintenance should be as big as possible. Whatever the shape, it should have at least five square meters or over 50 square feet of surface area, and so that it does not heat up too quickly in summer or get too cold quickly in winter it also needs to be at least 24 inches deep over much at that area. |
