HOW TO BUILD A RAISED WOODEN KOI POND!
Vložit

- Japanese koi are some of the most beautiful fish you can get, in my opinion, and to be able to build a raised wooden koi pond in my own back garden for the first time ever is incredible! With help from my dad who has had many ponds in the past, we built a new pond in two days! In the future we plan on bringing his current fish down from where they currently live, to live in this pond, until my dad builds a new pond in the new house so he can have them back and I can then get my own baby Japanese koi!
Let us know what you think of the build, maybe what you would have done differently, or what you really liked, and even what your favourite fish is!

I built my pond frame the same way but I used 2 by 3 and decking board for the outside and marine ply for the inside. I just had to replace the ply after 7 years but everything else is great.
Nice! 7 years later isn’t bad going to be fair! Hoping this pond last at least that long, but only time will tell I guess 😂
Looks tremendous sir top stuff just subed, cheers Terry
Legend! Thanks Terry, appreciate that 🙏
The dance moves made my day 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Great video! My favourite part was when you introduced all the Koi!

Sick man! I really like the build. Much simpler than I was expecting.
Haha thank you, appreciate that! 💜

@@bradsbioactivebuilds YES! Now THAT is something I’d be buzzing to see! A brads bioactive builds pond would be MADDDD 😂
It came out great dude!!
Thanks my bro 💜
Want a pond now 😅
I am an enabler so I say do it 😂
nice build my friend ive build the same pond myself a few years ago just subscribed too 👍👍
Thanks for watching and subscribing mate, means a lot, appreciate it! I’ll have to check out your pond as well! 😁
What size is your pond? Im planning a raised pond 8x8ft 3ft deep. A 1000 ltr of water is one ton so mine is around 9 tons of water ive been advised that wooden construction will not be strong enough.
Hey dude, sorry for the late response! This pond is 6x8ft and around 2.5ft deep. I think it’s very dependent on the wood you use to be fair.. if you use the same wood as we did, it won’t be strong enough. 4x2s MIGHT be ok, 4x4s would probably be fine, and then you can start looking at railway sleepers that are 4x8 which would be absolutely fine, for sure!
8:03 what tool is your pops using here?
Ah the multi-tool! That thing is a gift from the heavens! 😂 such a good piece of kit!
@@riddlerreptiles gonna have to pick one of these up
@@bradsbioactivebuilds highly recommend, such a useful tool
I didn’t see you setup a bottom drain
Unfortunately no bottom drain on this build! Time and financial constraints meant we had to keep it fairly basic, but hopefully in the future when these fish leave I can do some upgrades before getting my own! 😂
Capping pieces last mate
Capping pieces? I’m not sure I follow bud, sorry 😂
First
Boy is ready for the fish hype
Your dad is so much cooler than you
