Hi Everyone,
As you can probably guess from the title i'm after some advice on the depth of a pond i'm thinking of building.
This pond is actually going to be inside an old workshop(soon to be fish house) which has a clear roof so natural light is able to penetrate.
The pond will be 10ft x 7ft but i just wondered if the pond still needed to be 6ft+ deep as it is indoors.
Your advise would be appreciated

Rule 1 visit as many ponds as possible BEFORE you start building. See what works for folks and why.

Most folks say that 5ft is a good depth

That would give you a volume of approx. 10 X 7 X 5 X 6.25 = 2,150 gallons, excluding filtration.

This assumes that the measurements are internal of the pond walls.

same pond, 6ft deep = 10 x 7 X 6 X 6.25 = 2600 agsin excluding filtration and all measurements are internal of the pond walls.

I wouldn't go any deeper than 6ft.

Where abouts are you?

Sure folks near to you would be willing to let you see their ponds for ideas and information.

Cheers

Steve

6100 gallons, block wall, Fibreglassed, 6'6" deep, 2 X Spindrifter bottom drains to nexus 200 + Nexus 300, wide mouthed skimmer, 2 X Bakki Showers, 5 X Sequence 12,000 Pumps. 4KW heater, 14-15C. 500gallon fibreglass QT system based in garage.

If the pond is indors then it's not so critical to have such a depth unless you are wanting more
gallonage. 4ft would be plenty deep enough.
