GRP is the ultimate method of waterproofing a pond and is superior to any other alternative methods. Fibreglass can be applied to any shape or size of pond and due to its durability is our preferred method of pond construction. Rocks of any size can be installed into a properly constructed fibreglass pool with peace of mind. The overall finish of our fibre glassing is second to none, due to the meticulous attention to detail we take in the preparation stages. The finish of the fibreglass is the one the fish will be living in so only perfection is good enough.Our in-house GRP application specialist has been working in the industry for over 30 years and therefore has vast experience in every application. We can also construct custom fibreglass tanks to any size and specification. British racing green or black gel coat is the most preferred colour for a pond, however, virtually any colour can be requested using the GRP colour chart (*additional costs may apply).

You should plan for at least 1,000 gallons for a Koi pond. You will need a larger pond size if you require higher stocks of Koi, without causing detriment to your water quality and clarity. This will ensure that your fish have plenty of room to swim around in and that the water won’t get too dirty. If you need further help, our experts can help determine the ideal size during a consultation. If you need help deciding on your pond size please contact us and we can advise what pond would meet your needs and fish stock levels.
Absolutely! You don’t need to have the largest space to build a Koi pond that not only can comfortably live in but one that you can be proud of as well. We can design custom Koi ponds to fit even small spaces, ensuring your fish have a comfortable and beautiful home.
Taking some time to find the best spot for your pond is really important. Choose a spot with ample sunlight but also some shade to prevent overheating. Avoid areas with overhanging trees to minimise leaf or other debris that may fall from the tree. We offer pond cleaning services if your pond does get too dirty, though!
When it gets cold, it’s common for ponds to freeze over, which can be devastating to the fish. To provide more security for them, a minimum depth of 3 to 5 feet is recommended to prevent freezing to the pond’s bottom, ensuring your Koi can survive the winter months.
Koi can survive in all climates from below zero in winter to the high temperatures in Summer. Koi thrive and get maximum growth in water temperatures between 24°C to 29°C (75°F and 85°F). We can help you maintain a comfortable temperature range year-round.
Yes, filtration is essential for water quality and fish health, regardless of pond size. A good filter will not only keep the water clear, allowing you to see your fish more clearly, but will also provide a healthy environment for your Koi fish to thrive in. We offer pond filtration pump options tailored to your specific needs. Get in touch if you need some assistance with finding the perfect filter for your pond.
Of course, we provide a fish transportation service, meaning once your new pond has been constructed, we will be able to move the Koi over to their new home.
When constructing your pond, we will also take care to help you through protective measures, such as heron posts, line deterent, netting and underwater barriers, to deter predators like herons.
Yes, you can add more Koi, but it’s essential to maintain a balanced fish-to-water ratio. Please see the FAQ above that goes over this point in more detail. We can advise on the appropriate number of fish based on your pond’s size or methods that are available to get more fish if possible.
