How much did you charge for this pond?
lighting is bad
I have a pool just like this surrounded by trees too. How are they going to keep the leaves out of the koi pond??
Thanks for asking! We use skimming systems on our pond installations for easy collection of floating leaf material and other floating debris.
Absolutely beautiful! I would have loved to learn more about what you did to cap off the existing pool lines? We are looking at doing this with our own pool.!
We drained the lines completely, we removed as much of the old pipe as was accessible, and then installed PVC pipe caps over the cut ends of the remaining pipe.
Would this work with fiberglass
I think it would work well.
We brought our pekins out the second week we had them on nice days and made sure to stay out with them. There were some days when they were close to develop feathers but didn't have them yet, when it was below 60F and I put them on the front porch with their heat lamp on one end and a box on its side on the other. They rarely sat under the lamp on those days. I had them outside full time on nice days before they were fully feathered, still yellow. They were too big to keep in the house any longer. They are fully feathered and 2 1/2 months old now. They are fantastic about bed time and follow me to their pen around dusk (trained them easily with peas). They often will head to bed on their own without me if I'm not ready when they are 😆. They love to follow me around when im outside and sometimes will stand outside the window and call me when they want me outside. Its adorable :-) They seem to follow my voice cause I'll hear them outside a window I'm standing next to and looking in waiting for me.
so fun!
Amazing, fantastic job .when you need 6 men to carry the liner you know it's big 😃😃.god only knows how much it cost.if I had the money and the space I would fly you guys over to the UK to do one for me . amazing thanks for posting xx
Thanks so much. Let me know when you are ready for your pond!! Cheers!
Beautiful!
interesting
Beautiful! What a job!
what is the basis of geomembrane plastic?
Why all the rock on the bottoom? traditional Koi ponds dont have these..... but each to their own
There are several reasons to utilize gravel as a substrate.
What a change. Way more functional than before!
你是怎麼做的呀
Well, that's more than I could/want to do. Sigh.
Is it hard to keep gravel clean at the bottom?
Stupendo lago bravissimo 💪🔝🤗👍👏
If I wanted to clean the bottom of my pool, I'd just turn it back into a swimming pool.
That’s not a pond, that’s a lake!!! Looks sweet though.
This was so awesome to watch. Thank you for sharing.
I’m moving to Bridgewater (fingers crossed for a drama free closing) and was looking into if we could even own ducks and we’ll this came up so…I guess so 👀
Bridgewater is great town! Come visit THAT POND PLACE once you are moved in! I'd be happy to talk about a duck pond with you! www.thatpondplace.com
Absolutely amazing! I’m also in TN, but my Koi pond doesn’t compare. Lol that is really gorgeous ❤️
Thanks so much. We just might be back for another pond project next year!
Dang!!! I need to hit the lottery soon!!!
I'm praying for you!
فن وحترافيه في عملك عاشت ايدك
I know people have filled their pool for various reasons. I wish this video existed then to show another use for a pool no one wants
old pools can be repurposed into some amazing features!! thanks for commenting
Step by step? Not a single step, not sure why? Must of read wrong. Thank you.
Looks great can you swim in it
Hello and thanks for commenting. This pond is not really designed for swimming, but if the owner chooses to go in for a swim I'm sure it's great!!
Would that work in Minnesota winter are koi have gotten pretty big
Yes, Minnesota is not an issue. The depth of greater than 24" is what matters most for winter fish care.
His head certainly making background jiggly, haha
Cheaper than demo and fill of old pool.
That's true, a conversion can certainly be a more economical option when all is said and done.
Great video! I have a pond that’s 2 feet deep. I live in Canada where it freezes over the water. Would it be safe for the goldfish at that depth since I have an aerator stone that I could put at 12 inches for an opening ... any suggestions or should I just bring them indoors during the winter. Thanks for any suggestions!
Hey, glad you liked the vid. At 24" if you are using aeration, and I'd recommend a de-icer as well, you should be good.
It's beautiful but the fishes have no place to hide. You need aquatic plants, hyacinth, water lettuce and water lillies. Plus it would look more natural with plants surrounding the pond. I guess it's new and not complete yet. Fishes are cute. 💗💕💗
Hello. Inside of the pond there is a fish cave for the fish to hide when they want. The aquatic plants were added after the video was shot. Thanks for checking out the vids and commenting!
Just discovered your channel. Love the transformation from swimming pool into a koi pond. What's the approximately budget for this project?
Hello Anthony. Thanks for checking out the vids and commenting. Projects of this type will typically range from $50K+ depending upon exactly how you approach the project.
@@thePondHunter LOLOL - Get real bro.
That is what I like perfect for me ☺️☺️☺️
Please stop saying “check it out”
nope
M80's are a quick and easy way to open a breathing hole in the ice without having to stand there peeing in one little spot.
It would be nice to see a live web cam view of the pond with ducks and waterfall.
Yep!!
Where is your waterfall pump? Reading that filters need to be shut down for winter. Seems conflicting. Which pimps where can be left running through winter?
The pump is kept in the skimmer box. There are many ways to build ponds... some can run year-round, and some will need to be shut down. I prefer the year-round option for my clients and myself.
@@thePondHunter Thank You. I am trying to build a fpond that can run all winter with external pumps, but can't find any information on it directly. I would appreciate your thought or experience on the subject.
@@sorce2175 External pumps or equipment will need to be protected from the elements if you live in a place that gets winter conditions. I use all submersible equipment which is easier for year round use.
@@thePondHunter the elements yes, is covered but seeing freezing temps ok?
I wonder what something like this would cost?
Hello David. Prices can vary pretty wildly. General same price point as a high end swimming pool. $50K+
Hola yo tengo un pequeño estanque vivo en unión NJ y necesito ayuda con él es un estanque casero y no sé mucho de cómo mantenerlo ayuda
Hola!. Puedo ayuda con cual quiere necesita con su estanque. Llama me 908.277.6000 esta bien, gracias!
Good to see you back. Hoping to see some update vids, servicing vids. Glad your company continues to operate in such uncertian times.
Happy to still be here! Hope you are well!!
LOL! That's not chicken wire. It's welded wire. BIg difference.
LOLOL! ROTFLMAO!! OMG!!!
Much nicer than before.
I would love to have you guys convert my gunite pool into something lovely. But I think you're probably out of my price range. Beautiful work!
How many days for project? Ty
This project was 9 days in total for 4 man crew.
cost??????????????
These type of projects can range quite a bit from $50K and UP.
what kind of geomembrane to use
it is a heavy duty woven geotextile
Make sure the aerator is shallow in the water. Circulating the warmest water from the bottom of the pond will over cool the water and temperatures will drop too low and kill the fish.
Thanks! yes, the bubble diffuser should be about 8"-12" below surface of water during winter use.
Amazing
Hi
Hey!
