Create a miniature container pond as a pond-in-a-pot water feature:
Do I have to dig a hole to have a pond?
No, you can create a pond in any container that will hold water.
- Create a miniature container pond in a container of metal, ceramic, fibreglass, an old Butler sink or new wooden barrels.
- Avoid wood barrels already used for whisky or wine as this can leach back into the water and lead to problems of water pH, smell & plant growth.
- Seal any drainage holes by using a patch of pond liner and a waterproof adhesive sealant.
- Fill the container with rainwater if possible rather than tap water. Use Chlorine Guard if you have used tap water.
Our range of lightweight fibreglass containers for a small container pond:
- available in a choice of 17 colours and finishes.
- in 3 width sizes - 60cm, 80cm and 98cm wide at the top rim.
- sit on a patio or in the garden above ground.
Our container ponds are easy to use:
- Delivered without a drainage hole

- Just keep the water level just below the underside of the sloping rim.
