Use the deckboards as said above as the outside frame then lay sheets of plywood on the inside creating walls and a floor.... I would also seal the plywood incase your pond liner springs a leak... There are a few builds exactly like this in DIY

Okay I have some questions 1st how will I connect the corners? Can I use corner metal braces for the decking wood. then drill a plywood on each side of the pond and then use more metal braces inside to connect the plywood also or That isn't necessary.2nd do I have to make a floor?

OKAY did some research and tell me if my new plan will work. Let's start with the sides. okay I'll have the pressurized wood. One at the top one at the bottom and in between them for every 2 feet I'll have 2x4's in between. Now I think that won't be strong enough right? now let's pretend that's an Ariel view. For every 2 feet, across I'll drill in more 2x4's at the top AND bottom. Assuming I do the corners correctly will this be strong enough? I'll post a pic TONIGHT (real one not my terrible drawings) once my Phone chargers. Man I'll have an ass load of pressurized wood left over. Maybe I could build my lizard enclosure that's been long delayed lol

To attach sides and bottom go get some 4x4 and put them in the corners where they join where u had metal brackets. No fix but seems smarter than some light galvanized aluminum brackets. If nothing else bracket the outside since you have them.
