oh, p.s., my parents have ok'd my remaking of our pond, so i think im going to have to steal you design. but i'll have to still sink it in a foot or two and raise it another foot. damn snow. also probabl;y make it 8x8 cause we want lots o' koi. (bigguns)
pm me any tips/tricks that you incountered? be most grateful.

your ideas sound good.
keep the wood off the ground "put on bricks or something".
if left on the ground it might rot faster "i havent shown that step yet on mine".
not sure what problems will happen so just keep an eye on this thread.

lol
thats where im stuck.
the ply will rot in a few years unsealed.
timbers are made for weather,last a few more years then ply.
i dont want to paint but i want it to last.
i might do like a thompsons water seal on the sides of the ply that you will see.
and just cheap paint where you cant see.
i been on break from this but i will be back on it once i get my fish situated.
