My parents absolutely love the pond, my dad sits beside it most evenings now. They didn't really want to be in the video but I'll try and get them in the update for their thoughts on the pond.
I have worked with and sold these ponds for years so I know it's a product I can trust! I am really tempted to build one of the bigger ones, I just need to find another garden to build it in.

We need a followup video of your parents' reaction to the pond!

This is so rental friendly. I might (will) invest in a pond like this. Brilliant idea and when I move I can take it with me!! ❤ thanks for sharing, as I never even thought if adding a free standing pond like this one into my yard and with windows so I can watch the fish!! Love it 👏
-
I really liked the window shots with the fish peeking out, so cute.
-
I literally own that same fish pond. The windows need a lot of cleaning over time. I have had mine for 12 years now. Still holding up. But it is now where I keep my fish in our basement during winter. I have a small deck pond of about 80 gallons, too. Enjoy this one!!! When I first got this one I put it in the corner of our rental home in the living room. Very nice. =)

Having a pond, any sized pond can be absolutely brilliant for the UK's much beleaguered wildlife. If you have the space a pond can be so rewarding

I remember must be 10 +years ago now this was the exact same pond that got me into the hobby that you sold me from the shop you used to work at now it has took me to keeping koi to the next level but will never forget where it all started for me 🔨🔥👊🏻

Lovely project and what a great gift for your parents
-
Shout out to Fish Shop Mom and Dad for the assist! I can truly appreciate all the work and logistice in the small added steps you show for instance putting the parts on cardboard, small parts in a box (I spill EVERYTHING) step by step intructions and why the steps are included. KUDOS!!! Love from Georgia USA :face-blue-smiling:

That pond design is genius! It's a perfect fit for that corner with the tree behind it.
-
Sir that's no pond , that's an outdoor aquarium.
-
I LOVE these ponds!! Such a great idea. And it was very thoughtful of you to do something as beautiful as this for your parents.

13:23 (Collegue) - Oh! Matt you have a nice sunburn here! (Matt) - Yeah! It's my new computer screen. It's always the problem when it's brand new.

Redesigning mum's garden. 😊

Nice job Matt. I would consider this for my yard!
-
Well now I want a pond. I love the little viewing windows! Great build Matt😃
-
Fish Shop Dad caught me... I giggled into my popcorn. Loved this one, Matt ❤ great job!
-
Turned out great! Wonderful way to add a water feature to a small outdoor area! Can't wait to see it fully matured with the surrounding landscaping.

You make anything aquatic look effortless I’m currently on holiday and can’t wait to get back to re-scape my tank. You never fail to keep my interest in the hobby alive always providing fresh ideas and new content keep up all the hard work ❤😊
