  • this video gives a good idea of constructing a nice japanese style koipond. Build by myself. The whole building took over one year. I could only work on it in the weekends. I will publish a video, of the pond in summer, in 2012. The rendering and waterproofing is done with pondfix . A waterproof mortel.

    i cant believe that's a concrete pond! amazing job in making the pond edge look so natural (which often is only achieved with a liner). how about throwing a few sturgeons in there with the koi? lol

    I'm thoroughly amazed by this, I'm still wondering if this is really a DIY job possible? simply amazing! However, for such depth and huge size pond, I personally really over worrying if the bricks really able to hold that tremendous water volume without any structural failure in long run??? Also, that filter compartment space, I personally prefer a huge gravity sump tank filter and a huge trickle tower.

    Amazing job on the pond. You also have a shadow person that appears between the white tree and the green trees in the background by the two large rocks. It fades in around the 4:52 mark and fades out around the 5:03 mark. I watched it several times and you can see through the figure. Also if you weren't speaking when filming this you might have also caught an EVP!

    • @lostrowvaj

  • @andre300167
    @andre300167  12 лет назад

    A lot of people ask me how much it costs. I think it is not so much, but my wife doesn't agree :-). Because I build it all by myself I saved a lot of money on labour. I used 14 m3 of concrete, 1100 concrete bricks, and a lot of pipes and valves ans rocks. And I still had a lot of stuff of my old pond like pumps, UV, vortexes etc. I can tell you one thing: 'it was worth all the money .'

    @johnson5326 Hi Johnson,
    It contains 72 M3 total water volume. It has a depth of 2 meters and the biggest lenght is about 10 meters.
    I am glad you liked it.

  • @ANathan123
    @ANathan123 4 года назад

    I will say it does look very nice but you might’ve been better off doing a liner pond instead. They aren’t as expensive especially if something starts to leak and you have more flexibility for the shape and placing rocks

    You should have put White or blue Tiles instead of just leaving it with concrete since you done so much hardwork, fish would have been much more visible and you could swim wiht the fish as some of your family members are already doing !!!

  • @jimswinton3287

    It seems to me that he was just filming the pond from inside his house threw a window. The "ghost" was just a reflection. You can obvious hear the audio difference from being indoors, and someone putting away dishes...

  • @andre300167

    Thanks for your reaction. The stones are fixed with concrete on and against the wall. Earth is put on top of this concrete and wall to give it a natural look. Andre

    Hi Andre
    You can write to me how you deal with low temperatures and PVC plumbing?
    Do not burst frozen water pipes PVC? I do like the tank at home in the backyard, but for me, in eastern Poland, winter temperatures sometimes drop to -15 * C and is worried that the whole system can be damaged PVC.
