Jake Sutton - 7 years ago

What happens to the pond in the winter?

Larry Cramer - 7 years ago

so football= soccer ball is I think the point?

Jake Sutton - 7 years ago

lee melbourne oh okay. Sorry I'm American we don't know our accents well.

lee melbourne - 7 years ago

Jake Sutton leave a football in the water and it stops the whole of the pond freezing over ...& you can remove the ball and feed the fish thru the hole in the surface, also this stops any damaged being caused to the liner ... Hope this helps ....& I'm English btw

Jake Sutton - 7 years ago

Well you sound like you could be Australian so I guess that's not a problem for you.

Jake Sutton - 7 years ago

lee melbourne but food...how are they fed underneath ice?

Jake Sutton - 7 years ago

lee melbourne cool

lee melbourne - 7 years ago

Jake Sutton lol....the fish swim to the bottom of the pond were the water is warmer.... This is normal and what every other fish does ....

Jake Sutton - 7 years ago

lee melbourne lol, smartass. I mean how is it maintained in the winter, say if you have fish in the pond? Do you just cover it or do you have to move the fish?

lee melbourne - 7 years ago

Jake Sutton it get cold like every other pond

rohit raj - 7 years ago

what element is there at the bottom of brickwall ( ground surface).???

lee melbourne - 7 years ago

No mate just the polythene liner will do, get a good quality liner too

rohit raj - 7 years ago

lee melbourne ...thanks....did u use any thing for waterproofing...other than the plastic sheet....

lee melbourne - 7 years ago

rohit raj hi, what you are looking at is the concrete foundations for the brickwork.
Glad to help my friend

rohit raj - 7 years ago

lee melbourne ...i m asking abt the white surface in the first four pictures.... :)

Eric Riviere - 8 years ago

love the brickwork! and im lanning on doing a similar design in fron of my house that wraps around the foundation. my questions are as follows:
1: how did you get the liner to stay? did you put it under bricks?
2: if the liner is under bricks, what happens if you need to replace the liner?
3: should i put a drain, as it will be butted against my house?
thanks in advance

lee melbourne - 8 years ago

Hi Eric , yes the liner is under the copings, purchase a good quality liner and it will last you at least 10 years.
My advice to you concerning your new pond being in contact with your house is not a good idea .... As it may/can cause dampness in your house.
Maybe leave small gap between pond wall & house wall ....
Hope Iv help you , thanks for watching & good luck in the future

Woodsy Edits - 9 years ago

How many bricks and gallons of linear was needed?

Harmonyww - 9 years ago

Really nice job you've done there. I'm looking to build a pond for my parents while I'm home for a few weeks. I was just going to dig out a basic wildlife pond but my mum asked if I could build a raised pond, and what she described is almost exactly the same as this.

I may end up stealing your design, but I doubt it'll come out half as nice!

lee melbourne - 8 years ago

+Ann Tran ok and...

lee melbourne - 9 years ago

Thank you for your kind comments....
Your are more than welcome to copy my pond and if you need any advice ...... Feel free to ask .....

roma kozlovsky - 9 years ago

i hope you know that concreate leaks at a high rate

roma kozlovsky - 9 years ago

+lee melbourne well you did use concrete but you coated it with a pond liner so im glad you know

roma kozlovsky - 9 years ago

+lee melbourne your welcome

lee melbourne - 9 years ago

Good Job I did not use any Concrete !!
But thanks for the comment.

Santiago Sanchez - 9 years ago

That is so beautiful never seen one like it, it would look a lot more beautiful with African cichlids fish.

toonami4 - 9 years ago

so you don't cement and seal the bottom of the pond ? but just use the rubber material ? thanks

Jess MacDougall - 9 years ago

I wouldve put some lucky bamboo in there. Over time it would grow over the surface of the water and would, in my opinion, give it a nice touch.

Jess MacDougall - 9 years ago

+Jolly Ranchu ooh lol that happened to mine in my 10 gallon newt tank (which is almost entirely aquatic but not filled up all the way,) I thought it was because it isnt getting good lighting

Jolly Ranchu - 9 years ago

Even so, the leaves will start to yellow based on my experience. It actually prefers moist soil.

Jess MacDougall - 9 years ago

+Jolly Ranchu what if the leaves are above the surface of the water? The reason I am asking this is because I have a puladrium (don't know how to spell it lol sorry) with some curly bamboo in it and I was planning on getting more lucky bamboo

Jolly Ranchu - 9 years ago

Lucky 'bamboo' will not grow in water forever, it will die eventually.

Savage_Tree_Turtle - 9 years ago

Nice

Pizz izle - 9 years ago

very nice design, Personally I would remove all the river rock and leave it with the flat brick and tiles. looks professional that way and it improves water circulation.

Margi Chambers - 7 years ago

Pizz izle what does professional have to do with the choice of brick instead of natural rocks ?

Nice job, cracking bit of bricklaying too. I take it you are a pro? Nice to not have cheesy music in the background too.

lee melbourne - 10 years ago

Thank you very much for the comment, hope iv helped you in some way my friend. Take care....

jigglestumps - 10 years ago

I'm not usually a fan of this style of pond, I like slightly more rustic looking ponds. But this is brilliant. It's a great design with a lot of little touches that really make it quite a special feature.
I would be very happy with this indeed.

lee melbourne - 10 years ago

Thank you for that it's much appreciated, glad you like it... Take care

kentfang - 10 years ago

nice job. I'm itchy to build one in my back yard like you did, but still struggled by the plumbing. Can you tell me how you did the plumbing for skimmer, pump, water fall

The Glider Hub - 10 years ago

+lee melbourne have you put any fish in there?

lee melbourne - 10 years ago

Thanks, I have been asked this question before and it's my fault for not adding the pumping into my video... Sorry, it's my first video.
If you scroll down you will find my explanation, it starts, Good question.......
Hope this helps? Any further question don't hesitate to ask

Allison Eigenbrod - 10 years ago

HEY QUESTION! Hi how did you do the pump work to the top?

Allison Eigenbrod - 10 years ago

it is and oh idk why but my email is aneigenbrod@yahoo.com

lee melbourne - 10 years ago

thanks allison i tried to email you but it failed, hope its ok for you x

Allison Eigenbrod - 10 years ago

Thank you so much and no worries! :)

lee melbourne - 10 years ago

hi Allison, sorry for the late reply but i just dont like this new set up on utube ?? just find it difficult to find my new messages.....all the pipe work is around the back of the pond, the filter is in the bottom left hand corner as you look at this pic, then a pipe runs up the back, to the top of the waterfall. hope this helps. Take care x

MyBlackops2Master - 11 years ago

Still good video

lee melbourne - 11 years ago

Good question.....this is my first video so i have made a few mistakes sorry ! 1, The Hozelock pump is in the deepest part of the pond, right hand side as you look at the pond, approx 4" off the bottom. 2,The Bio-force filter compartment is shown at 1:39, i built this compartment separate to the pond. 3,All the pipe work basically runs behind the stream/waterfall this is so its out of sight. Hope this has helped you my friend....good luck

lee melbourne - 11 years ago

thank you very much mate for that.... Anyone can build a pond just take your time and get plenty of good advice and you will have a great pond. Dont hesitate to ask me for any advice.... Take care.

sageofgame - 11 years ago

how do u filter the water for the fish?

lee melbourne - 11 years ago

Thanks for the comment...i have added some plants & fish, just had to let the pond settle first. Peace

lee melbourne - 11 years ago

Thanks mate keep watching.....

marktimmer2212 - 11 years ago

In a cold climate with freezing temps. your pond must be at least 80 cm deep, a little more than 3 feet.

FATSOBEATS - 11 years ago

It's a modern day pond nothing nature about it, don't like it unless you put some Ginny pigs in it :) my personal opinion

Rob de Brouwer - 11 years ago

weather doesn't matter, as long it doesn't freeze the whole year

f4fencing - 11 years ago

Don't like it nothing natural about it

Rafael H - 11 years ago

you can always get a heater for the water during the colder months. Eheim sells some very decent heaters that auto on/off depending on the temperature you set

Kate Leghorn - 11 years ago

Well, In Illinois we have all four seasons and our winters can get quite cold, and summers quite hot.

REMIX8604 - 11 years ago

that looks so good

Yuzu Yuri - 11 years ago

This is a good design.. I like it :)

lee melbourne - 11 years ago

Hi kate i live in England and we dont really have the best of weather lol !! but we do get some sun now and again.... i dont know what the weather is like in lllinois iv never been ?...

lee melbourne - 11 years ago

Yes...its very important, i have a bio-force filter that does the job.

animeworldcute - 11 years ago

Do you need to clean the water

Hadyn Weir - 11 years ago

Gerneral rule of thumb it's 60 bricks per square meter for 4 inch brickwork (1 skin) and 120 for 9 inch brick work (2 skins). Nice job mate my mother is asking me to build her one searching the net for ideas, I'm inspired ;D

Kate Leghorn - 11 years ago

Do you have to live in a warm climate to have a fish pond? I want one, but I live in Illinois.

lee melbourne - 11 years ago

Yes William...i used approx 800 bricks also a few concrete block in parts that are not seen !. if you need anymore help just ask... take care.

lee melbourne - 11 years ago

thanks....i use a 5500 Hozelock Bioforce UVC Pressurised Pond Filter, this is powerful enough to run my Waterfall & Stream also filter the pond water. Hope this helps my friend.

sten beetlex - 11 years ago

awesome work...but how do you clean them...they have lots of wet open surfaces...so algae and insects,wormss?... what filtraton do u apply...thanks in advance

William Morton - 11 years ago

do you know ballpark how many bricks you used??

lee melbourne - 11 years ago

thank you for the advice...funny you should say that cos we have snow at the moment !....

Soper79 - 11 years ago

I like your waterfall construction in this project. Good work. Feel like I should mention this to others (you probably already know this) but be sure if you build an above water pond to heat it in the winter since elevated ponds naturally don't have any of the ground around them from the cold. Your fish will thank you. :)

lee melbourne - 11 years ago

thanx Douglas, i will keep your advice in mind, iv looked at the ponds you have done and they are amazing !. Take care

Douglas Hoover - 11 years ago

Great Job! Looks good- Thank you for sharing- Just one suggestion about the liner -You could have saved money by drilling 1/2 in. holes 3 " up from the bottom around the perimeter & inserting 1/2 " rebar in a 12" grid formation. Then simply pour a concrete floor and then coat the entire walls & bottom with a product called Thoroseal- it is non-toxic to fish, waterproof & lasts decades- I've built well over 2000 concrete water gardens since 1982 & have never had a leak!

lee melbourne - 11 years ago

Im sorry if this video isnt to your standard victoria But my pictures ! have been viewed by over 145,000 people..... Im more than happy with that and i hope i have helped lots of people build there ponds. Thanx for your feed back. Thanx.

Danny Unforgiven - 11 years ago

thank you. this helps

lee melbourne - 11 years ago

Thanx. These pics were taken on completion of my pond......March 2012 Plants were added later in the year along with a couple of fish....but not too many too soon as the pond has to get established first, along with getting the levels correct in the water. More pics of my pond may come soon. Take care friend.

m68inc - 11 years ago

Thanks bud you have a great pond.

lee melbourne - 11 years ago

Alrite m8.... i used about 800-900 bricks & a few blocks. It depends all on how big you are going to build your pond. Hope iv helped and good luck with your new pond

m68inc - 11 years ago

hi m8 im gona replace my underground pond this year, how many bricks did you use im trying to get an idea of what i need. cheers

lee melbourne - 11 years ago

dismaldog-William - 11 years ago

Great Job-Very professional looking and attractive addition to garden.

lee melbourne - 11 years ago

Thank you. Its nice to sit outside in the summer with a ice cold beer and enjoy your pond with your family and friends.

lee melbourne - 11 years ago

Will do thanx

lee melbourne - 12 years ago

Hi, the pump is in the water to the right hand side as you look !, sorry i didnt put any pics of this on my video i forgot sorry. It is in the deepest part of my pond which is approx 3ft below the grass level as you look ! It sits 3 to 4 inches off the bottom of the pond so not to suck in any sh*t off the bottom. Hope i have helped.

lee melbourne - 12 years ago

thank you

Scott Mcgrath - 12 years ago

thats a nice pond but a bit small for my liking but good job

t2alds - 12 years ago

Where is the water pump?

lee melbourne - 12 years ago

Good question kelly, i have seen many ponds done in different ways to mine in other countries....In England we seem to use liners quite alot, i dont really know why maybe its more available ? I recently watched a video of a american man use 2 layers of sand & cement render onto the inside of the brickwork to make the pond water tight..... this i may try next time ? Thank you for your comment and thanks for watching.

You spent all that money on brick work and stone caps. Yet you put a liner in, why not a concrete inner and floor?

lee melbourne - 12 years ago

thanks

lee melbourne - 12 years ago

Thanks, i know what you mean....but this is my first attempt at building a pond so i wasnt to sure how big and deep i was going to do it...maybe next i will go a little bigger. thanks for watching.

thanks, maybe next time....thanks for the info

I think my landlady would have a fit if I built something like this next to the house for my koi. bummer too cause it was nice. guess they will have to stay in my tank for now.

lee melbourne - 12 years ago

Thank you, sorry i have not done a video yet of it with the fish in it, i have just got some plants etc in it so im letting them get established first and i have got some goldfish and so me Orf in it at the moment, and i am just observing that the levels in the water are ok ?. I think it will be after christmas now that i will do a video....so i hope you keep watching and thank you so much for your kind words.

Alejandro Rodriguez - 12 years ago

wow man wonderful pond i agree with the other guy im not into above ground but yours came out AMAZING do you have a video of it with the fish in it?

lee melbourne - 12 years ago

thank you for that comment :) I built my pond with my decking in mind, the pond is the same height as my decking so that it is easier to watch the fish swimming around while sitting on my decking with a nice cold beer. thanks for noticing this too, best wishes to you and your family.

Jeffrey Robinson Sr - 12 years ago

I normally don't like above ground or a lot of man made brick, but I have to admit, in conjunction with your home & deck,that came out pretty decent looking. Great job. ;)

thanks for the comment, and yes i do know a little about brick laying ! but im no expert in pond building as this is my first attempt.

lee melbourne - 12 years ago

thanks. i have been buying some plant lately, the reason there is no plants is because the pond was only just built when these pics were taken !

lee melbourne - 12 years ago

thanks for the comment, It is impossible to get all the creases out especially when you have a curved pond my friend !

lee melbourne - 12 years ago

no i used a pond liner, glad to help :)

Wich he did not smooth out : rookie mistake there you should always smooth out your liner remove creases from it etc

batonrougesteve - 12 years ago

if only i were a mason

Dac Lam - 12 years ago

Very well thought out design and execution, looks like a bit of natural combined with man made, perfect for the urban environment - what fish are in there at the moment?

Alivia Neuberger - 12 years ago

thats cool!!!!!!!!! did u just put the water on the grass? cuz wont the water get muddy for the fish?

NovaProspekt1337 - 12 years ago

This video kind of assumes you already know brick laying lol

SuperMaxibaby - 12 years ago

i build ponds professionally and i can tell you that fibre glassing the inside of a pond and finishing it with g4 will last 10 times longer than a liner , it also doesnt give the unsightly effect of the liner crimped at the ponds top , but does leave a smooth all round finish, a slight tear or rip in a liner is a nightmare ,even if you find the leak it is impossible to fix properly,but as you say its your pond, so enjoy

johnathan mckenzie - 12 years ago

Nice pond !!

Steve Wilson - 12 years ago

Nice work! It looks way better than a pre-fab. How much were all the materials?

liv4daoutdoors - 12 years ago

amazing

lee melbourne - 12 years ago

thanks for your comment... im more than happy with the pond iv built. And i would like to point out nothing last forever !. Hope to see your pond very soon. Good luck when you build it yourself.

SuperMaxibaby - 12 years ago

i meant professionally fibre glassed you can do it yourself , it can be applied to any brick mortar surface then painted with g4 to seal it , not a preformed one you buy from a shop,its what the larger koi ponds use and it lasts forever ,unlike a liner which normally only lasts about 10 years

lee melbourne - 12 years ago

thanx for that i never thought of goldfish....lol take care.

lee melbourne - 12 years ago

Yer thats fine if you want to buy something which is 97 dollars, you can... ! but at the end of the day...you want to buy quality if you want it to look nice and last a long time ! thanx for your comment

lee melbourne - 12 years ago

i built a pond that i chose the shape and design myself ! not a pre-formed shape some1 else designed. thanx for your comment.

SuperMaxibaby - 12 years ago

would have been better fibre glassed

idk no - 12 years ago

there is a 270 gallon pond for 97 dollars on amazon.

lee melbourne - 12 years ago

hi, not to sure of your question but i will try to help were i can....You can quite easily change the flow of water off a waterfall by just adding small pebbles or stones (depending on the size of your waterfall) to each side of the waterfall and this will change the flow/pattern of water as it falls off the edge !. i hope i have answered your question ? take care

lee melbourne - 12 years ago

Thank you so much for that comment. i wish you the best of luck with your pond......and im glad i could give you some ideas and if you need any more help im more than happy to help were i can.

lee melbourne - 12 years ago

Thank you so much for your comment x Yer i designed it as i went along and i think it worked out quite well..... i want to get some pink water lillies in my pond my daughter has asked for them and shes the boss ! :) i havnt got any fish yet but im open to suggestions ??? Thanx & take care

Deborah Armstrong - 12 years ago

Beautiful pond..was part of the design to have it make a lot of white noise? [noticed in that one pic it looked like a semi-detached?] Nice combination of stone and brick....what sort of plants/fish are you planning on?

jon wood - 12 years ago

Really good pond, one of the best ive seen. Ive just bought a Pre-formed pond and will be starting to install this next week (hopefully) you have given me loads of ideas to use, hope you don't mind.

lee melbourne - 12 years ago

this pond cost me approx £1000-1200 in total. but really it is down to you how much or how little you want to spend on your pond ?

Jo Oh - 12 years ago

how much did you use in total (money)

lee melbourne - 12 years ago

Thank you, and the very best of luck.

c4prlm4st3r - 12 years ago

nice job & really nice pond.gave me some idea.

lee melbourne - 12 years ago

The liner i purchased is of excellent quality ! and will last a long time...The water and pebbles protect the liner from sun light and anything else that may cause damage to the liner. Also like to add to your comment, nothing last for ever !. Hope i have answered your comment and thank you.

lee melbourne - 12 years ago

Thank you so much Yes they should be fine, but it really depends on what design & type of pond you are building.
