Choose a kit that fits your requirements and can be easily installed in your garden (e.g: small, medium, large).

The second thing to consider is the purpose. You should ask yourself: Do you need a decorative pond, a fish pond, or a wildlife pond? Based on the answer, you should select the most appropriate pond kit for your needs.

Our kits range from affordable beginner options to expensive premium kits with additional features. Having a budget in mind beforehand will help you make a decision more easily.

If you are just starting your pond journey, we recommend going with a DIY or small kit, as they are easy to install. However, if you have prior experience with installing ponds, you should consider medium or large kits.
