4 Simple Steps to Installing a Preformed Pond
We manufacture a very large range of preformed lightweight fibreglass ponds. You can see the range by clicking water features link or you can even visit our factory to see working demonstrations of our pond, waterfall and streams. See opposite.
Preformed ponds are the alternative to flexible liner ponds (see how to install a pond liner) and have advantages and disadvantages. The main advantage is that you can see exactly how your final pond will look and the lightweight nature of the products means it is easy to take home. A disadvantage is that you cannot make your own shape as you can with a liner pond.
