paid 10 bucks for the liner,wood was free,straps and block i had :)
this thing has 16 hurricane straps nailed and screwed on lol
my house will blow away but my pond will be there :)
also toe nailed the heck out of it so the 2 sections didnt separate and it has a plywood bottom
will have more pics as i put on the trim to hide the straps and block,and finish the filter.
"if the mosquitos let me stay out there longer than 2 min lol"
the triangle thing will be the filter/waterfall :)
i have white tile in the bottom so you can see the fish

just bought 2,190 gph, submersible pumps at harbor freights.20 bucks for 2 of them
going to make a new filter in the next few days for them.
its a small pump working in the pics.i have one new pump in its place now.
its much better but it still needs both 190 gph's.
also working on getting better tiles,top for filter and hiding the hoses.

still have work to do on it but its there.
still have to notch the top to go under the sill,put liner in it and media and such.
takes two people to move lol
the inside 2 boxes are the filters,the outside 2 are to hide the hoses.
i made 2 spray bars for them also
water will come out of the bottom 4 holes,the other 2 are just backup overflows.
"ya there crookid" :D
the bottom piece is the bottom for the filter.its all removable.
