Outdoor Elements was created to make building a pond easy.
The "build your pond" section includes helpful links to more detailed information, so that you can be confident
about building your pond right from the start!
Steve's pond is roughly 900 gallons, with a 3000 GPH Big Frog pump and Savio skimmer and waterfall vault
as the main components. Doing everything by hand, including the excavation, meant that it took about 40 hours to install.
One of our customers, Bryan, wrote an article for "eHow" on installing his pond - and gave us a very complimentary mention. Thanks Bryan!

Facing the wooded section of his backyard, Henry's patio already offered a tranquil and relaxing setting. For an enjoyable
evening in the company of friends, what could be better than a water feature - and the "creature comforts" to enjoy it?
Henry's pond features a lighted gazebo, and for enjoying those cool evenings in the spring and fall, a flagstone seating area
with a fire pit is located close to the waterfall. Landscaping with plants and rocks from his property ties the whole yard together.
And a wooden bridge with handrails not only provides access to the patio, but enhances the viewing - and feeding - of his fish!

"Your advice when I was in the planning stage helped me to choose the Savio components I truly needed. My water is crystal clear
and my fish love you for it! Thanks for all your help." Henry
With a beautiful view of the local woodlands, separated from their yard by a rustic split rail fence, Sheran's back porch
was an ideal evening retreat. The addition of a small pond with a terraced waterfall and stream adds to the natural beauty
of this rural setting. Notice how the addition of a few red rocks collected from the local terrain enhances the green of the landscaping!

"What an easy and fun do-it-yourself project - your Outdoor Elements kit is truly first rate!
We can't wait to enhance the 'basics' with followup projects in the coming years!" Sheran
Even when you start with a private beach and a beautiful waterfront view, it's amazing how well pristine water compliments
pristine water. Notice how the subtle landscape lighting compliments the evening tranquility of this backyard getaway!

"Thanks for all of your wonderful assistance. I hope we sell another one soon so that we can get another system from
you!" Marlas
A large back yard is terriffic when you have growing children and pets, but it can be so much more than a playground. How
do you enhance "family time"? Turn an under-used section of the yard into the living area of your dreams! And recycling
the unwanted timbers and foundation stones from a turn-of-the-century bank barn made this family project the ideal outdoor
classroom as well!
Michele's project features two ponds - a small goldfish pond with waterfall provides the ambience for the patio, with an 'S'
shaped stream connecting it to a larger koi pond downstream. A gently terraced walkway, and the barn-siding bridge leading to
a flagstone seating area, naturally compliment the prolific landscaping that beautifully lines the streambed.
