Ladybower Pre Formed Heavy Duty Garden & Wildlife Starter Pond (77Cm x 70Cm)

We've been mulling over putting in a pond for some time, as we have frogs already in the garden and see the occasional damselfly and dragonfly passing straight through. There's not much space though, and we didn't want a major job of installation. Things came to a head last week when we spotted a damselfly on the grass. Decision made at last! We went straight to Amazon and found this one that appeared to be good, and with good reviews. Sent for it and it arrived on Prime the next day. I intended to install it the following day but wanted to test how solid the ground was where it was to be located. Soil turned out to be fine enough to try the pond in a hole, for sizing. Cut to the chase and I ended up installing it, a process that took about an hour - the majority of that was in checking it was level in all directions. Decided to leave filling it until the following day. The next morning I went to review it, and there was already a small frog sitting on the edge with a "where's the water?" look about him. We filled the pond from our rainwater butt, which took 6 watering cans full. A quick trip to the nearest aquatics shop and some judicious transplanting of suitable plants already in the garden and job is done. Bought a fountain from Amazon too, though its performance isn't exactly mindblowing, even when in full sun. We may have to move to Dubai to get a full performance... Overall, it is a really good little pond. Easy to install and perfect where a larger one is not a viable prospect. From the decision to having a working pond was a leisurely day-and-a-half. Recommended.

I bought this because my six year old son found two frogs in our back garden under the shed. Convinced that they were going to be homeless (although they had lived perfectly well for the last three years we had been there, and I am assured by the neighbours for some years before), he worked up his behaviour points to earn enough to buy this pond. We didn't want a big pond or deep one, the people who built our house seemed to have left shingle beneath 6 inches of the garden, so digging anything too deep is a struggle, but this one was a perfect size. I did some research online in terms of pond, and this seemed to have everything that people (frogs) might want. It has exit and entrance levels, and is deep enough for them to hide from predators, but not too deep that children could fall in - my son has already stepped in it by mistake after falling for a football. The frogs didn't take long to settle in to the new home and they now live their perfectly happy.

Good value for money, easy to install and durable

Novice gardener who wanted a pond in the garden. I was able to fit this with my partner within a day. It was a nice size for a beginner and didn't feel too daunting. After a month we had frogs living in there and a whole host of insects visiting. After 2 months the pont was much more established, frogs still there and now there are water snails helping to keep it clean, along with all the oxygenating plants. It definitely gave me confidence to have a go and improve the garden for wildlife.

For the price this is an excellent little pond. It arrived quickly (a day or two only) and it really is solid and sturdy. It takes some digging to get it right but then so would any pond! Once in I filled it with a hosepipe and introduced some water from my friend's well-established pond to encourage plant life etc. To my great joy and surprise this week there are many tadpoles populating the pond and with the added attraction of shop-bought water cress and a couple of oxygenating plants it is already taking on that 'established' look. If you're looking for a small pond for your garden to create a tiny eco-culture in your garden I can highly recommend this garden pond. The pictures were taken one month from ordering.

I bourght this for the frogs I disturbed in my new garden, I weeded the garden and destroyed their shelter for the winter, so I got this wonderfull and ridiculously cheap product which I am now extremely proud of and I also got a froggitat (soon to get a second froggitat) no clue why this pond is so cheap, its fab quality and has lots of levels for animals to get in and out, just add some plants and stones and it makes your garden a sanctuary for both you, the kids and the wildlife, it really makes the garden beautiful without being a humongous OMG theres the pond type addition, its subtle, beautiful and non invasive, really really happy, cant wait till spring

Perfect size for a small garden. Installed about 6 months ago. It looks better and more natural now that the plants are growing around the edges, and the garden visitors like it - even the hedgehogs. Added a wee solar-powered fountain for my own entertainment - very relaxing to watch.

Really good quality liner. So much easier having a pre-moulded one. This makes a perfect starter pond - we use it just for frogs. There are lots of ledges but they can only hold small pots. The only place for a larger pot is in the center so it can't take many plants. I've used mostly surface floaters. When digging out the hole, it can be awkward to get the shape right as you can't see what you are doing from the top. Best to use something like sand to line the hole so that you can press the mould into place.
