Deck Pond

 

Here's an update on my pond I installed into the deck. I've added a Japanese Maple behind it in a pot. The plans are to cut into the floor and drop the pot down so only the top two or three inches show so it will be easier to see the display around the tree.

The fish love this pond. We keep the new ones here the first year. They are all koi. I bring them in during the winter and take them out to our smaller front pond in the spring. They don't reach the large pond until they reach a size where our largemouth bass can't eat them.

I show you the basics of doing this in a previous post in case you want to do the same. It's worth the work. The pond sits on a platform I built under the deck so the deck doesn't support the weight. It just drops in and I bring it in for the winter and cover the hole so we don't fall in.
