Pond Wall Shapes |
|
An important point to consider is the shape of your pond's sides. This is often dictated by your soil conditions, as well as the type of plant and animal life you wish to incorporate into your water garden's ecosystem. Stepped walls are the most common because they provide easy access in and around the pond and serve as ideal shelves on which to place aquatic vegetation. Also, fish tend to respond better to an environment with varying water depths.
*Please keep in mind that
the sun's effect on the shallower water causes higher temperature.
