What are the building costs?

First of all, a good amount of work and, of course, money. It is not only the construction that causes costs, because a garden pond needs to be planted, you would like to be equipped with a pump, maybe you are planning fishes do you want to clarify your pond water from time to time and maybe even think about an additional water feature with effective lighting? Finally, the size of the pond, its design and the materials used are also decisive cost factors.

Construction standard - the better the more expensive

But is it now 500, - over 1,000, - or even several thousand euros that the garden pond will cost? A clue, at least for rough financial planning, would be very desirable. We looked at a few examples of this at a company:

• Terrace pond made of foil with bank zone: 2.00 by 1.50 meters with 30 plants from 165.00 euros or with 15 plants with a size of 3.00 by 1.50 meters from 235.00 euros;
• High pond With light metal construction: wood look, foil inside, 1.06 by 1.06 meters (50 cm high) from approx. EUR 500 to just under EUR 750 (2.11 by 1.06 meters and 50 cm high);
• Mini natural pond: 8 m2 water surface with 4 m3 content from 30 m2 Pond liner and with 50 plants for a price from 265.00 (cheap version) to 845.00 Euro (in the usual construction);
• Small natural pond: 19 m2 water surface with 13 m3 content made of 48 m2 pond liner including 75 pond plants for just over 400 euros (cheap variant), usual construction around 1,300 euros;
• Small biotope or stable natural pond: with 32 m2 surface and 26 m2 content, made of 120 m2 pond liner with 150 pond plants from approx. 930, - Euro or in the most common design and equipment for just under 2,850 euros.

If you have special equipment requirements, you are already at a five-digit figure for a larger fish pond Once you have reached the investment volume - if you add the value of your working time - this is probably only insignificant due to your own work would be compensable.
