    I've been looking at your pond build and want to incorporate your white wall along the fence side.

    What I want to do is put the cladding in front of the bio tower and just have the letter box protruding. That was I block out any falling leaves (and cherries / figs) from the neighbours trees and also hid the pipework and the what used to be nice shiny tower.

    What do you think ?

    Yeah will be easy to do. Just got some wood 2x2 or similar to make a frame for the cladding to fit into securely

    Had 2 hours spare after work s I made a start.

    Was not as straight forward as a normal frame cladding. I wanted to cover the bio tower, but at the same time did not want to the sides to protrude. So I had to make a frame that bends around the tower rather than just covers it.

    Once the frame was done I secured some end trim to the sides (had to modify this slightly to fit nice).

    Hi Dave,
    Yeah, they are all pretty much the same size as the Goshki you gave me. Still breaks my heart to think about the Showa of yours that I lost
    That was the only koi that has ever died in my pond.

    I see you have just had another pond glassed. I watched the vid of matt doing it.

    I bought it from wickes for just over £100 so it's going to be a little more expensive than the likes of the big online plastics companies. I usually use CA plastics as I find these are the cheapest and very good customer service.

    The cladding comes in 2500mm x 300mm so I used 5 of these, I also used 2 end rails which I modified to fit correctly again these were 2.5m.

    In the pictures you see it is only secured by the end rails I have yet to secure with any fasteners. But will do that this weekend.

    I love the look of that cladding.
    It looks very affective. Stands out.
    If i ever decide to put a pergola up.
    I am using this. Brill

    Finished cladding the back of the filter bay section.
    Started painting the fences grey (Love that colour contrast - or lack of).





    Next up is the post base surrounds (to cover the black metal work).
    Another coat or two on the pond wall (looks a bit patchy at the moment).
    Then I need to build new filter roof (part that you lift up - so needs to be lightweight).
