Blagdon Liberty No Dig Nature Pool

10 minutes to assemble (we did watch a You Tube video before hand as we were super excited), filled up with water using the sprinkle option - out of the tap (if you are not putting fish in then this is fine) as advised by the aquatic shop who sold me the plants. The ladder looks a bit steep but have been assured that frogs and toads are good climbers and it's my intention to put logs etc under it as insect hotel and will be something to climb up. The little solar fountain keeps going until it has no more solar power, no on or off switch. The construction is good and the liner very thick and easy to put in. The click system is easy to understand and there is material to put under the liner to help prevent it getting damaged. Just make sure you sweep away any stones or grit in the area where you want to put your pond. I have put in some pond gravel in the bottom and some pebbles and slate to make hiding places and the aquatic shop suggested a variety of plants both for in the pond and outside to attract wildlife. Now all I need is patience whilst I wait for the plants to grow and flower and nature to arrive. Perfect addition to the garden especially as we didn't have to dig up the patio. We have a hedgehog house, insect hotel, bird feeders and lots of bee and insect friendly plants around the area so that should really help too. All in all really pleased with the pond quality, instructions and finished product.

Easy assembly. Kids love it. We already have a frog that frequents it! Sturdy product. Good value. Looks exactly as advertised. Good size for young children to get close and still be safe near the open water.

Honestly I'm well chuffed. It took max 10 mins to build easy to slot together and I'm shocked how solid it felt once together... I did find then liner the most awkward part but I was building it in the dark as was far to excited to wait.... I love my pond and can't wait to add more plants and greet wildlife to it. For a small garden and a maybe not forever home this is ideal don't hesitate

Having found tadpoles which had hatched in an old plastic container in the garden, I needed somewhere to put them. The pond was easy to put together and successfully allowed around 80 tadpoles to survive and leave as they matured. It looks good planted and the solar fountain has worked even in dull conditions. Very happy with it.

I put extra padding underneath what was supplied but it depends on the ground.
