    We are currently in the process of putting a pergola over the pond.

    It got off to a slow start but is now nearly complete, cant wait to have water in the pond though - not long now!

        That is a huge pond. How much of that area takes over your property?

        The garden overall is an L shape, the pond being in the leg of the L and with the planting etc around the pond takes up 60% of that section. The main part of the garden is quite a lot larger, so whilst the pond looks to take up lots of space its just one part.

            Hi Freddy, the roof will be covered in a tinted polycarb, which will shade the pond and also give us/the neighbours more privacy
