A garden pond is a great focal point for any backyard or garden. Unfortunately, the installation of a professional garden pond can be extremely expensive and require significant labor. For those of us on a budget and for those of us who don't have unlimited time to spend on our backyards, there is an alternative: a preformed pond kit. Preformed pond kits can make for quick, affordable, and easy-to-install garden ponds.
Unlike liner ponds, which require significant effort to design and implement, preformed ponds come with a default shape. Because of this, you do not have to worry about shaping the pond properly, or ensuring that your liner fits. You only have to dig a hole that's larger than your preformed shell, insert your pond, and backfill around the edges!
Preformed pond kits will not only save you money if you purchase them online, but they will also save you from costly mistakes. For instance, once you cut liner, it is difficult to seam it back together again. You also do not have to worry about purchasing the wrong materials because many preformed pond kits include everything that you might possible need in a preformed pond kit, including: a preformed pond shell, a watercourse, a pond pump, pump filtration, fountain heads, and all tubing and clamps required!
Preformed ponds can come in various colours and textures, some variants which include black, granite, and sandstone. There are two main types of preformed ponds: rigid, or folding. Folding ponds are similar to rigid preformed ponds in that they still retain a shape. However, the advantages of folding ponds are that they are made out of a liner-like material that allows them to be easily unfolded before installation. Folding ponds are more forgiving and adhere better to freshly-dug holes because they are not as rigid as fixed preformed ponds. However, the main disadvantage of a folding pond is that it cannot be installed indoors.
One particular example of a folding preformed kit is Algreen's 180 gallon folding preformed kit. Algreen's folding preformed pond kit is fish-safe, UV-resistant, and offers exceptional value because not only does their GardenSM.com kit come with all necessary materials, but it also includes a free pond accent: a 3-piece underwater light with a transformer! The 3-piece light comes in handy when you're landscaping your pond after your initial installation. At night, the water feature can be lit up in multi-colored light to create a fascinating light display.
After you've installed your preformed pond, there are always other improvements that you can seek. For instance, with proper filtration, you can raise fish in your pond. You can also add various other pond accents to your water garden including pond spitters, a stone retaining wall, and various plants and flowers.
