My lfs shop may have a good way for a big pond and fairly cheap. He has a tetra pond liner that would make a 12'x9'x2' pond for $350. The liner material feels heavy. He said stack cement blocks 2' high around the perimeter pour cement down the holes. Put the liner in, anchor 2"x6"s around the top to hold down the top of the liner. That's about it. I don't know the brand,but he uses filters that look like barrels. The heater would be another thing. He suggested a small hot water heater may work. He didn't heat his. A 12'x9' pond would hold some big monster fish.
nice pond.

Yep, that works but 2ft is hard to control the water temp., three foot would be better and if you could dig down a foot the temp. would be even more stable.
A piece of rebar dropped down every other hole in the block wouldn't hurt either, to tie it all together.
Make sure the liner is at least 45mil.
You should have a mixing area (like a sump) if you are going to use a water heater as their minimum setting is 130*F.
If you can get any pix of his pond post 'em up!
