all sounding good mate, looking forward to seeing the pics, have you had a price for the fiberglassing yet. have you thought about a box welded liner as its half the price of fiberglass. mark
yes m8 the fiberglassing is gonna cost £500.00 which i know its expensive but it will give the pool that extra strengh as the whole of the pond surface is above ground and theres a lot of cats around here with sharp claws lol .also ive had a lot of probs with herons from my previouse pool which resulted in the liner being punctured several times so im gonna have it glass fibered will post more pics soon...

hiya mate the ready mix was £310. in my view if you can afford it go this way because its all done in 30 mins. its really only took about 5 mins to pour in and then all that needed doing was to level it all out. i got a C35 mix with added fibres. you have to get the added fibres put into the mix as its makes it so much stronger for the amount of weight it is to hold. if you need a chat pm me and i will give you my number. mark
na not yet m8 the weather is crap here just buying the stuff i need at the min so i got it all ready but will keep you all posted...
cool mate, seems like there is 3 people at the moment building ponds so it nice to hear how you are all getting on. that even means mine when i can get the coppings on top lol.
