    Here is mine. It is a sunken brick manhole sharing a wall withthe main pond. It is covered with a 45x60cm metal manhole lid.

    Tip: I wish I'd made it larger.
    Tip: drill the holes for the pipes after you have built the structure, otherwise trying to calculate the position to make a hole in the bricks bewfore the filter can be placed is quite hard.

    When I've finished building my filter house I will take a pic. It's coming out quite nice- I could move in there Even has French doors. It's bigger than many peoples ponds though, so might not be what you have in mind.

    I think your pond build is the exact opposite of mine Laura. I set about digging and building the pond and then scratched my head and thought 'what am I going to do about the filter house?'. The plan has evolved as it went along. Mine is going to be strictly utilitarian on the basis I am not planning to need to go in it that often

    Laura I like your OCD (from a fellow "sufferer")
