Ladybower Pre Formed Heavy Duty Garden & Wildlife Starter Pond (77Cm x 70Cm)

We've been mulling over putting in a pond for some time, as we have frogs already in the garden and see the occasional damselfly and dragonfly passing straight through. There's not much space though, and we didn't want a major job of installation.Things came to a head last week when we spotted a damselfly on the grass. Decision made at last! We went straight to Amazon and found this one that appeared to be good, and with good reviews. Sent for it and it arrived on Prime the next day.I intended to install it the following day but wanted to test how solid the ground was where it was to be located. Soil turned out to be fine enough to try the pond in a hole, for sizing. Cut to the chase and I ended up installing it, a process that took about an hour - the majority of that was in checking it was level in all directions.Decided to leave filling it until the following day. The next morning I went to review it, and there was already a small frog sitting on the edge with a "where's the water?" look about him.We filled the pond from our rainwater butt, which took 6 watering cans full. A quick trip to the nearest aquatics shop and some judicious transplanting of suitable plants already in the garden and job is done.Bought a fountain from Amazon too, though its performance isn't exactly mindblowing, even when in full sun. We may have to move to Dubai to get a full performance...Overall, it is a really good little pond. Easy to install and perfect where a larger one is not a viable prospect. From the decision to having a working pond was a leisurely day-and-a-half.Recommended.

I bought this because my six year old son found two frogs in our back garden under the shed. Convinced that they were going to be homeless (although they had lived perfectly well for the last three years we had been there, and I am assured by the neighbours for some years before), he worked up his behaviour points to earn enough to buy this pond. We didn't want a big pond or deep one, the people who built our house seemed to have left shingle beneath 6 inches of the garden, so digging anything too deep is a struggle, but this one was a perfect size. I did some research online in terms of pond, and this seemed to have everything that people (frogs) might want. It has exit and entrance levels, and is deep enough for them to hide from predators, but not too deep that children could fall in - my son has already stepped in it by mistake after falling for a football. The frogs didn't take long to settle in to the new home and they now live their perfectly happy.

One of my neighbours was demolishing her pond so I put this one in my garden, along with Prince Maximus (frog). He's been in and out of it for a couple of seasons now so it works. Holds water, easy to put into place and I put a bunch of large stones that overhang around the edge so it all looks really good and provides a habitat for the Prince :)Do get a good pump to keep the water circulating though.

arrived really quickly and is very sturdy, perfect for a little area like ours. Still room inside it for the rocks and plants that are needed for habitat/water quality. With 4 days, even before the wildflowers we planted round it had grown, we had frogs arrive to live in it!

Arrived quickly. Couldn’t fit it immediately due to inclement weather but when I did get around to it, it was pretty straight-forward. Filled with rainwater and added a waterfall feature and I am delighted with the finished arrangement. Just waiting for plants to arrive but a frog has already moved in ready for its new furnishings to be put in. Looking forward to Summer evenings listening to the gentle trickle of the waterfall and watching the wildlife making the most of their new addition.

Very useful piece of kit for getting a pond created quickly. Al I had to do was dig a big enough hole put a layer of sand down to sink the preformed pond into and then fill it with water. I used "rainwater" to fill it.It's strong and sturdy and quite deep for a small pond. Good value.

Novice gardener who wanted a pond in the garden. I was able to fit this with my partner within a day. It was a nice size for a beginner and didn't feel too daunting.After a month we had frogs living in there and a whole host of insects visiting.After 2 months the pont was much more established, frogs still there and now there are water snails helping to keep it clean, along with all the oxygenating plants.It definitely gave me confidence to have a go and improve the garden for wildlife.

Good value for money, easy to install and durable
