- Part 2 of a 4 part series showing how to build a fish pond.
This video shows how the cascade was built with important information on liner height, cementing and stone fixing.

This isn't just a jumble of rocks with a massively oversized pump to get a good effect - it uses a sand cement mix, cobbles, flat sandstone and rockery stone to force the water exactly where I want it to go.
Remember - If you use a huge pump, you will have huge electric bills so its best to build the cascade properly.
Part 3 has the cascade working and shows the pump and filter installed.

this is looking brilliant! can't wait to see the finished pond. Hope they throw in some nice fish, Orandas are my personal fave
you make very good cascades and ponds you are like a pro at this
Usually, yes. We tend not to make the mix with alot of cement in for ponds. It takes longer to go off but is still strong. I think 6:1 is what brickies use for laying bricks and blocks.
Its looking good m8 You must get so much satisfaction producing beutiful features like this. I hope the owners are pleased with the results, I know I would be. Keep the vids coming. Graham.
I will try to get back in the spring and do a 'revisited' video, yes.
can you please please do a follow up on your ponds a few months later i would love to see this in all its glory this is my dream pond set up little shallow for the fish i want tho but the shape and flow of it is simply amazing
You are a very talented artisan ! Very nice work, Thank you for the sub !!
Thanks for watching and appreciating, man.
Thank you for showing us how to make a pond!thats s the eight year old girls comments who's been impressed
Will do, man. Thanks for watching and appreciating.
Further to that, the pump will be sized mostly by the height and spread of the cascade. Without those measurements it is pure guess work.
It looks splendid nice wark mate
Size of pump will be largely dictated by the height and spread of the cascade. Filter will be based on the volume of water. If you are going with more volume then you will probably need a bigger filter.
Once it cures and the system is run for a week, the pond is drained and refilled to flush out any crap from the cement and after that, no worries.
I did a video called 'How to: pot up and divide pond plants'. Maybe that will help.
I normally don't bother growing from seed as its easier to divide plants and most of the ones which will grow from seed will also grow by division.
Not my house. There are some videos of my garden. I think the best one is called "Pondguru - Garden tour"
Superb job.
No worries, thanks for watching.
Im glad I found your channel. Thanks for video
Reginald Roberts No worries, thanks for watching and appreciating the videos.
After a week of running I would drain the pond and refill. After that, no worries.
Sure I've answered this, man. You would need a filter which stated 'would treat up to 30.000 litres' as your pond is 14.000 litres ot thereabouts. Bear in mind that you would need a UV filter also as this would kill green algae etc. The filtoclear 30.000 is a combined filter as it has an integrated UV. I think Fishmate do a large pressure filter too but if you want to go gravity filter just search 'filter 30000' or similar and see what comnes up. L.p.h for pump depends on cascade height, spread.
No worries. Unfortunately I haven't made many pond videos this year since the weather has been so wet and I didn't want to risk damage to my video camera.
Thanks for watching.
I normally just throw them in shallow containers and don't bother with pots.
Never heard of the filter but looked it up and I actually have one myself which I took out of someone's pond when upgrading. Way too small to filter your pond, man. Hozelock usually make an arse of their filter design too. Even the supposed koi filters they do ('Trinamic') totally make a balls of the whole moving bed filter operation. I would go for an Oase Filtoclear 30000 any day over any of Hozelocks efforts.
They cost £400.
good job
Will that amount of morter raise the water ph? Im watching and learning.. want to make my own koi pond this year!!! Ty for such detailed videos!!!!
Many will grow from cuttings, some will need to be divided and others will grow from seed.
i am digging my pond deeper and adding a few shelves and a cascade but i have a problem. i have a hoselock box filter with the uv light in it will this do to supply the cascade with water or am i better off buying a different pump?
I might just use this vid while makin a pond thank you
Is the cement treated with anything once set, or is it safe enough once dry?
@pondguru the filter i have is calld a hozelock cyprio triple filter. does it matter what filter i have for a cascade? the pump i have works fine but i dont think it would pump the water through the filter then up to the top of the cascade?
eny thaughts?
Iv got a question. Wont cement or mortar affect the water of the pond in a bad way?
Great Videos..
@pondguru very good filter but im on a bit of a budget :( how meny lph would i need for my pond?
p.s. thanks for the responses
yw keep up the good work
Thanks, man. Just subbed you back.
richard , i have a 500 litre plastic rigid pond ,is it possible to build one of these cascades going into it?
ghtyn Yes although I would strongly advise you to consider getting a fibreglass / concrete preformed cascade as building a cascade going into a preformed pond is a tricky procedure and if a pond system is going to leak it will be from the cascade.
Thanks for the reply,preformed cascade it is then.
you look like Stan from Southpark
lol.
I've never seen anyone kill kenny though.
haha ^^
Where's the f*cking plumbing layout? FFS
Thanks for watching and appreciating, man.
