Decided to build a pond for my water turtles the other day. It's coming along pretty nicely. About 6 feet long, about 3 feet wide aroung 24 inches deep at the deep side and 12 inches on the shallow.

I'm with everybody come on more pics.nice start
I'm building the walls around it now. Hopefully I will finish that today and then install the liners.
OK surrounding fence is done.
Now, my friend says I should build a ramp out with dirt on the step up before I line it. Sounds like a good idea

Looks great, I like the ramp idea!
I'm loving all the up-dates...keep them coming. I'm getting so jealous too.
Lookin' good. Love love love the ponds. Can't wait to see more pics.
Looks good, co exciting.
Still have to add a waterfall and a few other things, but it has water now.
Getting really close to being done. Finished the rocks in the shallow end and it's looking pretty good.
This is the what the screen looks like which will cover it at night

Great job Mike ! .....What kind of filter are you going to be using? ...I have tried many on the market and the UV are by far the best ...although spendy , but well worth it . Since we are neighbors I have some " secrete spots" to add some natural critters to your set up .....give me a buzz ~ .... would it be intrusive to share some my ponds and set ups from the past here ?
