Great love the vids!
i was just wondering if you can stand in your pond?
Yes by all means, Jump in and get wet! No suntan lotion or oils please.
If you have a quality rubber liner you should have no issues walking around in the pond even if you have gravel in the bottom of the pond.

i was wandering if any one knows the avarage temperature of the water in a outdoor pond thanks:)
The average out door water temperature will change with seasons. It will all depend on where you live.
In California my ponds hang in the mid 70’s to low 80’s in the summer. Spring and Fall we will have water temperatures of 55 to 65 and over the winter we may drop into the mid 40’s to low 50’s.
Below 40 degrees and Above 90 degrees koi are not real happy.
Hope that helps.

what if there is a chiller connected to it were i live is kinda warm and i keep cold water fish and there is a few trees covering the area were the pond will go any thoughts?
I have a pond in my yard that is protected from sun a good part of the day. That pond rarely gets 80 degrees.
Where do you live and what kind of fish do you plan on raising? Are you looking to raise trout?
PD
i live in la grange county and yes i am located by a hatchery where a good friend of mine has offerd to sell me some fingerlings from the hatchery and there are lots of trees in my back property where i can keep allot of the sunlight out
This is a deep pond! I live in OK & see a lot of shallow ponds. I don’t know how the fish survive in a hot shallow pond in OK! A friend of mine put in a shallow pond & a heron plucked out all the fish! I’d like to see how this pond is completed! Thanks for the video. Your pond looks amazing!
Awesome ! I love ROCKS !
I have watched all of your videos (some twice) and I love them all ! Great work ! The last one I watched , I watched in High Quality. I am now watching all of them again in HQ because the detail in the Rocks and the colour is sooooo much better . I would recomend that everyone watch them in HQ.
When is the next video’s going to be posted i was waiting for 3 weeks! I LOVE your video’s cant wait till the other ones!
That’s true i was planing to dig to 5.4 feet deep! But since i dug my entire pond by hand when i got to 32″ there was clay as hard as cement i even tried a jack hammer like in your other video’s you recommended it did NOTHING! Deeper is better but not nessisery!
I’d like to see a video on pond landscape. I’m in the process of finding evergreen plants because my pond looks bare in the winter. Also I recently had to pull colocasia out of the rocks. They grew out of control and I could not see my streams. Since the rocks were foamed and mortared in it was a huge job. Tips about plants and how to avoid these problems would be appreciated. You guys do great work!
Well.. I just love your video’s and cant wait till the next one! You said a week it’s been a month any good estimate when will the next one be uploaded?
Thanks for the great comment. Yeah a deeper pond makes a world of difference in not only protection from predators but what a difference on the look and feel of the pond. Deep ponds rule!

I can hardly wait myself! Seriously!

I would agree. Glad to see you applying some of our tips to your pond’s construction.

Thanks for the comment and the suggestion. We do have a few different aquatic plant videos planned for the future. We will likely not get to them till next spring as most of our aquatic plants are starting to slow down for the winter. We do have a brief glance at a small bog area we put on one of our recent ponds. Stay tuned.

Thanks for the push Arteolike! Believe me we are pushing forward on video. We just finished moving my Videographer into his new home. We painted, roofed, waited for internet, carpet, fixed broken tiles, installed sky lights and more.
Good news is have been shooting video in between all these other tasks as time allotted. Editing is the hold up as my good friend prepares his studio. We should have more tips and tricks posted here in Sept.

where you get teh rocks
The stone and boulders we use come from our local rock quarry. This stone (in our area) is typically 65 dollars a ton up to 120 dollars a ton depending on where you buy it and how much you buy.
ROCK ON!
