Crouch Valley members have ponds of all shapes and sizes. Here are just a few examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andy O’s pond with nets and bowls at the ready.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Andy P’s pond sheltered by a polycarbonate roof and tucked alongside the house.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Craig’s long and narrow (but deep) imaginative pond.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Below are some shots of Dave T’s newly installed “plug and play” EZ-Pond. This was dropped in place by crane and comes ready to go with window and filtration. Dave plans to clad the pond and erect a pergola over it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jim’s main pond and smaller “grow on” pond in the background for his smaller fish.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Keith’s large inground pond sheltered under a pergola.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Mike’s pond is both in ground and raised and includes a shower as part of his filtration.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Pat & Reg again showing how a good size pond can fit into a narrow garden and note the use of an auto feeder to ensure their koi get food throughout the day.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Paul M’s pond is both in ground and raised and includes the ever more popular window.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Paul P’s sleeper pond (with filtration neatly hidden in the cupboard) showing that koi can be enjoyed in smaller ponds if not overstocked and well maintained.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Below is another smaller pond built by Paulio during lockdown. And he has the koi bug as the “shed” you can see in the background will house a small quarantine pond (a valuable resource for all koi keepers to settle new purchases for health checks before they join the main pond).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve’s main pond below is sheltered by a pergola and it situated so it can be viewed directly from the conservatory. He also has a smaller (enclosed) pond used for quarantine and growing on smaller koi. The frame is to stop fish jumping out (a common problem with newly added koi).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tony’s large pond. Note the glass jump guards that are a popular addition and easily removed (as seen in the pic) when you need to net koi.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
