Homemade Backyard Ponds. They are generally man made "pools" that look and feel more like going to a local pond or lake to swim. This container pond is perfect for placing on your patio.
Keeping it attractive and trouble free takes work, but with a little extra care at the planning and building stages, you can create a pond that's almost maintenance-free. Only dig the terrace in areas where you plan to put plants. A DIY pond filter system is inexpensive and easy to build and will work as well, if not better, than those expensive filters sold at home improvement centers.
From pond liners and pond pumps to fountain heads, pond filters and pond lights, The Home Depot has all of the pond supplies you need to get started.
The water is pumped by an Aquascape pump into a natural filtration system filled with nutrient-absorbing.
