The first thing you need to do is ask your self where you want to put it? It should be in a place where you see it instantly when you go in your back yard, or you might want to install it on a lost space of your back yard like at the end, the pond will make your yard look deeper, or you can install it in a place where you see it all the time even if you are in your house, personally that is the option I like the most.
The second step is to pick the liner for your pond. You can choose a preformed liner or a soft liner, for this article we will go with the preforme liner. This liner is more durable, easier to install, no conception problem and easier to clean.You have to choose the form before digging so you will have the exact shape and the deep of the hole. Now that you know how big, how deep and where your pond is gone a be, you will have to check with the local authority to see if your plan is conform with their rules, Depending where you live, rules might be different, it is always good to check with them first. When all that is done, it's time to dig, trace the forme of your pond on your lawn and measure how deep you will have to go and dig two inch deeper than the size of your pond, to fit your liner properly put two inch of sand in the hole your liner will fit better and it will be protected from rocks.
The third step is to bring electicity to the pond, this step should be done by a professional, if it's more then an extention corde.The other thing you can do is to get a solar pump, this way you dont need wires. After that time to put water into your new pond to see if everything is right. Start the pump to make sure it's working properly before you start decorathing your pond.
The fourth step, the one people like the most is decorating your pond. Make it look as natural as you can, with rocks, plants to hide wires and the contour of the liner. After that you can ad decorative solar light this will give a nice accent to your pond at night.
Of course in this step I give you the basisses, the only limitation you have in decorathing your pond is your own imagination, push it as much as you can, you will love the result. The thing I love the most about this hobby is that I can up grade or change things as much as I want to, so every year I ad something or change something.
Congratulations you have built your first pond !!
If all you want is a simple water fountain pump then choose a pump that comes complete with the water fountain included. There is a wide choice available for you. A water fountain pump is useful in any garden or backyard pond. The action of sprinkling water into fine droplets allows a lot of oxygen to be captured from the air. The fountain pump is designed to generate lots of fountains droplets to aid this process.
There are few fountain pump nozzles that give different effects. These nozzles come standard for example with some of the Oase fountain pump ranges such as the Nautilus series or Aquarius pumps Types of fountain pump nozzles
Different water fountain pump manufacturers use different names for the fountains produced ... names like foam jets, tulip jets, umbrella jets and so on. Choose the water fountain jet appearance you like when you buy the fountain pump. To create high fountains you need more powerful pumps and this is why it is always best to buy a pump that comes with a range of jets or nozzles included in the price. You'll then know what to expect from such a pump and whether you'll get the desired fountain effect. Water fountain height and fountain diameters
In a 3 tier simple water fountain jet, there are 2 layer and single layer water nozzles. These are cheapest kind of water fountain attachments normally.
If you choose a water fountain pump with high jets make sure that your pond width is enough to prevent all the water being blown away on a windy day. As examples the Nautilus pump series from Oase can produce 3 tier water fountains up to 4ft high (115 cm) and with a fountain diameter of almost 2 feet (55cm). The Aquarius pond and fountain pump series also made by Oase produce displays up to 4 feet high (120cm) and 3 feet diameter (100cm)
If you find that your fountain pump is a bit too strong divert some water back into pond by adjusting the valve that comes attached with most good pumps.
