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
