Info on fibreglassing(sorry not fishing related)
Submitted by Rodrat on Fri, 2008-11-14 18:25
HI All
I am in the planning stages of building a large koi pond.
Was wondering if anyone does fibreglassing or knows any one who does fibreglassing for ponds?
Any companies that do pond fibreglassing that you can reccomend? Any info on pricing also?
Cheers
Any help greatly appreciated

Don't people just buy
Don't people just buy premade ones in fibreglass?

I don't think I'd bother
I don't think I'd bother building one in concrete and then glassing it. Either is fine, both is overkill. There are a ton of premix compounds you either add to the concrete (base) or add to the render (sides) and will make them waterproof. I've made several concrete based, brick-sided ponds this way and they all held water fine for years.
