I'm looking to make a 12 ft by 4 ft 3 ft tall pond in my garage for some koi fish. I was going to use traditional 2x4s and plywood to make the frame and simply line it with a pond liner. I'm making this post just to get everyone's opinion/suggestions on making the frame. Any pointers you may have or any do's and don'ts you would suggest please let me know.
Once I have the whole pond set up my plan is to run some tubing outside for aquaponics setup.
Also I live in Ohio so the winters get pretty cold in the summers can get pretty hot any suggestions other than insulation the tank to keep it cool during the summer?
Thanks
I will be posting pics of the build if you all would like to see!
