How to build a simple backyard fishpond: From pond construction to feeding fish

A DIY fishpond can become the best feature in your backyard, your favorite hangout, a project you’ll be proud of for years. Most backyard fish ponds are small and built with liners to simplify construction.

A small garden pond should be located where it can get four to six hours of sunlight. This will help to keep the pond healthy and clean. Avoid placing the pond where runoff from rain will run into the water.

While you can use various materials to make your fish pond, materials such as dam liners are generally less durable and not strong enough that in 6 to 12 months they would have torn up so badly. Tarpaulin pond liner is an excellent option for those who want to do fish farming on a small to medium scale. Tarpaulin materials can also be used for backyard duck ponds, artificial dams, simple swimming pools, garden ponds and water harvesting.

Tarpaulins are also used in various other situations and to achieve several objectives such as protecting people and belongings against wind, rain, and sunlight. So a tarpaulin fish pond is definitely strong enough to keep your fish pond intact for several years.

Many tarpaulins are claimed to be waterproof. However, some materials such as canvas and jute that are used to make some cheap quality tarpaulins are not really waterproof. Instead, these tarpaulins will be given a coating, such as wax coating, to give them some level of water-resistant properties.
