glad I built it today, April

AKA. Raccoon fishing hole

Better have it well secured cause the ***** will be drawn to it like bees to a flower. Flexible netting won't work cause pond is too shallow. You should build some sort of cover with chicken wire or plastic stiff netting to keep those $%#$%@#$ pests out.

So what are the dimensions on this new pond? Can't wait to see it full of fish.

Aside from raccoons, you'll have to beware of herons & cats, at least I do with my koi pond.

How are you sealing it? Pond liner? Fibreglass?
