There are five important steps about building a pond:
- First you need to pick the design of the pond and waterfall that you would like to build.
- You will also need a skimmer, a filter for the skimmer, a bottom drain, a pump and a biological filter.
- Then you will need the appropriate size pond liner.
- After the pond liner is put down you would add the pond rocks.
- Then you add water.
- Pick some plants and fish and your pond is complete.
