How deep should a pond be in the UK?

Wildlife ponds can be shallower, but should still include deeper areas to help creatures shelter during colder months.

How do I build a pond step by step?

  5. Install pumps, filters and lighting if needed
  6. Fill with water and finish edges with stones or plants
