i got them at lowes.
home depot and lumber yards also will have them.
fence post timbers "fence posts"
they are rounded on one end and flat on the other.
make sure there not like 4"x4",they cost.
these are from 2 to 3 bucks each.
4'x4' would be a nice one.
you would only have to cut the timbers in half.
lowes or depot "might" cut them for ya.
;)

do u think 2*4 would work?
2'x4' pond? thats not that big if thats what you mean.

and instead of using plywood use styrofoam?
naa,i wouldnt try it.

he plans on using styrofoam on the inside, then a pond liner
timbers then plywood then styrofoam board then liner ;)

i think he means 2 x 4's instead of the fence posts.
i would like to know also, as this seems cheaper, somehow.
