Direct Global Trading Pre Formed Fish Wildlife Starter Garden Pond UK Manufactured

As expected :) Very happy with this pond. It's the perfect starter pond as a first timer. It seems sturdy and durable.

Perfect size for starting out with ponds and how they work! Made for hours of fun and wonder!!

Love it, took two of us about 3 hours to dig out and sink the pond in place, finishing with chip, planting and rocks for effect, perfect for our wildlife pond.

Arrived quickly. Plastic is relatively soft which makes it a bit easier when backloading with sand. No water in yet but pleased with purchase and was a very reasonable price.

I was really pleased with my purchase. Perfect size pond and great quality. It looks lovely in my garden 🪴

Bought this 2 weeks ago. Dug the hole and back filled with some sand, topped up with soil, then filled it up with water. It may feel a bit thin, but I have had no problems with it holding water. A great little wildlife pond.

🐸 This is a great little wildlife pond that is relatively easy to install. It took me about a day to dig out the hole, as I had a raging cold at the time, but no doubt someone fitter than me could do it quicker. The soil filled a wheel barrow and a few buckets to set your expectations. 🐸 With the hole dug and a lot of test fitting as you have to match the pond shape a little, I put some sand in the bottom and seated the pool. Next, I backfilled the sides with soil and put some stones around the edge. Make sure that the pond is reasonably level. 🐸 I filled the pond with rainwater from a water butt, and after everything settled down, I introduced a bunch of tadpoles to get the wildlife pond going. I got them from my sister, who also owns an identical pond, and she gets frogs visiting every year to spawn. The tadpoles have all left the water as froglets. It is very important to give them a way of climbing out of the pone, as the little escape slope at one end is not enough. There is a shallow end to this pond, and that’s ideal for growing some aquatic plants. 🐸 Altogether, I am pleased with the pond and have even had birds visit it for a drink. I can't wait to grow some more tadpoles next year. ✔️

Very quick delivery, and a sturdy product. So much easier to install than a flexible liner, and the result looks great. I like the textured surface, which looks more natural and gives some purchase for wildlife - and there’s a built-in escape ramp for animals that fall in. This size is plenty big enough for a small wildlife pond with a few oxygenating and marginal plants.
