Have you seen anything in our past posts that you like or dislike?
How big are we talking?
What kind of budget?
Space constraints?
Does it have to be pretty (ie do you have a boss you have to please with it)?
A year round pond or are you taking the fish indoors in the winter?

How Big? Big enough to hold like 5 koi and other goldies and cats.Dr Joe;2627515; said:
Budget? From 20-90 bucks

Year round
How good are you at scrounging

You need to work on your budget, seriously.
These http://www.justkidspools.com/swim_center_family_pool.html are $50
If you had 2 pumps, 150 ft of pvc (w/fittings & solvent), a couple of 5g buckets w/lids, some lava rock, a couple of furnace filters and a 5 cans of flat black Krylon spray paint already, maybe just MAYBE you could do it for your budget.
There really is no "cheap" in ponds, just economical.

just a word of advice... koi require a minimum of 250 gallons each with ample ( not adequate) filtration.
