Product Information

This guide will help you choose the best way to construct a garden pond which will become a haven for wildlife. This pond is a recycled butler sink with an added frog house ‘a frogilow’ for shade! There’s even a bee house just behind to encourage all sorts of wildlife. What could be easier than filling a large container with water and adding a few rushes? Nothing – that’s why this design is one of the best small pond ideas! If space is limited, don’t despair. Planting wildflowers in a large plant pot offers a creative alternative to meadows. The bright colours and diverse mix of plants still attract plenty of wildlife. This scheme will also create a miniature ecosystem within a confined space. 29. Corner pergola with table A natural-looking pond like this one is sure to attract all sorts of insects and larger animals. Adding plants and flowers in and around your pond will add to its beauty and also its attractiveness to wildlife. 2. Bug hotel

As a corner accent to this garden, this raised pond gives the illusion of a carefree space. You’ll also find the box structure surrounded by trees and shrubs, hiding any machinery. Wind the handle to activate the internal cleaning blades that separate solids from the Cypricube foams.Preformed ponds are made from a range of materials, including plastic and fiberglass, which are durable and can last for many years. The lifespan of a preformed pond will depend on the material it is made from, but many can last for decades with proper care and maintenance. Whilst they can be more expensive than getting a pond liner by itself, they can actually be more cost-effective in the long run. This is because a pond with a liner may have other costs associated, and preformed ponds areless likely to leak or require repair. How long do preformed ponds last? When choosing your perfect garden pond design, use the following questions to form the basis of your research. You can never go wrong with this concept if you want an aquarium-style garden pond. Instead of having the panels fully covered with timber, equip the centre with glass. From a large pond, to a small butler sink, to a saucer of water your efforts will be instantly rewarded. Birds and insects will appear first followed by mammals and amphibians. A birdbath is a great place to start if you don’t want to commit to a pond straight away, but a ground-level water source will allow hedgehogs, voles, and toads to join the party.

Extend a warm welcome to toads in your garden by constructing a cosy habitat. Creating a comfortable dwelling for these amphibians ensures their return year after year. Also, consider surrounding the area with abundant vegetation. Doing so means providing them opportunities to forage and thrive in their new abode. 12. Simple bee water station

We hope we’ve given you some inspiration for enticing wildlife into your garden. Whether you try just one or a few of these ideas, you can enjoy the sights and sounds of nature, knowing that you’re making a difference to the local wildlife in your area. We offer two options for pond liners which are sold separately to your pond kit. You can buy our PVC pond liner online for ponds under 1.875m in size (which will need cutting to install) or get in touch with us for a custom-fit liner quote (either Butyl or EPDM). The pond filter is actually a biological rather than mechanical process and is designed to encourage beneficial bacteria which process the waste in the pond water. Typically the filter units contain a mix of media from sponge layers to short plastic tubes (a bit like plastic pasta) that increase the surface area inside the filter and provide a home for the beneficial bacteria. This complete in-pond solution includes a pump, filter, UV clarifier (only on mocha and grandmodels of affinity pond), LED spotlight, and three attractive fountain feature heads. The filter contains effective mechanical and biological filtration to keep your water clean and healthy. The 5 W UV clarifier kills green water and algae. The fountainhead options bring beauty to your pond and the LED spotlight brings your pond to life after dark Create a welcoming haven for guests and wildlife with climbing plants and trees. This lush arrangement provides a sanctuary for birds and other creatures. It invites them to make themselves at home while greeting your guests with a touch of natural beauty. 23. Wildlife vine
