Hi Fred. Sorry to bother you but I'm from Thorngumbald near Hedon and I'm looking at getting someone in to do me a new pond and sort out the garden. I'm just wondering who you get to do yours for you?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Fred, I'm building a pond and in many ways it'll be very similar to yours. 3k gallon to 4k gallon. I could do with some advice on my filter set up. Do you have Facebook or something that'll be easier to chat on. If you have the time that is.

Thanks Josh

Hi Fred,

Hope you don't mind me contacting you.

I'm planning a pond build, although some way off at the moment, I want to get all things sorted in my head.

My question is about fibre glassing. Does the fibreglass stick to the metal window frame? Can you describe how you fibreglassed the window frame?

Thanks in advance,

Jason
