Hello all,
I am going to be building a temporary holding pond out of wood and liner.
Question 1) what should i use to treat the wood to make sure it is waterproof and safe for the fish?
Question 2) i am thinking of using loft insulation in-between the boards as it is going to be 100% above ground. Do you reckon that it will be safe to use it even though it wont be in contact with the water?
It will be rectangular in shape (size 6ft (L) 4ft (W) and 3.5ft (D) not appropriate for a long term thing for my koi but will be long term for my goldfish)
I know some might say that the pressure from the water will be to much for a 100% above ground pond but i have thought bought this long and hard and will be constructing this with loads of 4X4 timber beams
any advice would be welcome
