I have no clue how to make any of these "dude projects." I have no patience to learn these things. 😔 I always skip to the final product. But a mini pond sounds cute. I want a coy one. 🤔💡Im gonna put those kiddie pool things into the ground. Itll be cheap & i can rig it up to look just as nice 🤗. Im just being stupid. These are the things i do at 3 am.

It's best to put the pump at the furthest end from the waterfall as it helps the water to circulate properly.

Yes, but waterlilies hate moving water. But this design is horrible anyway, if you ask me. It feels cheap and 80% of the black plastic is still visible, once the water is clean.

Spot on both of You! Watched it all the way in Australia. I have learned to put an escape for water that would lift and tilt a pond like that. I happened 2x. Trees I would keep well away. I have two ponds connected with a waterfall but it does not always run. So I need to wait for my Springtime! Richard

Old comment but I’ve seen plenty vids showing how to build budget ponds (100$). It will obviously not be as extravagant as this shown one (300$) for the plastic liner alone, over 1000$ overall is cheap for a fully built pond with proper filtration, with plants and rocks.

Small suggestion. Before adding the backfill sand, temporarily place some concrete block on the bottom of the liner. This will help prevent the liner from moving as you add the backfill.

You do something similar but stack your dirt pile higher or use bigger rocks then cover with the liner and run a longer tube up higher. It's pretty simple. Just make sure you have control over the water flow. You can get really creative if you plan it.
