Preformed basins
A preformed pond is a rigid shell ready to install: dig, place it on a bed of sand, and fill it. Choose the material (PE, polyester, or Corten steel), then the volume and depth according to the plants or fish you want to keep.
How to choose a preformed pond?
- PE / PVC: lightweight and affordable shells (Oase, Ubbink), from around 100 litres to 1,500 litres, ideal for starting with a small buried pond.
- Polyester: more rigid and durable shells, rectangular, round, or natural-shaped, some with an integrated waterfall lip; several models can be installed buried or above ground.
- Corten steel: for a contemporary garden; the interior is coated with 2 mm polyurea and several models optionally accept a wall with a waterfall lip and LED lighting.
- Volume: the larger it is, the more stable the water remains in temperature and oxygen.
- Installation: a buried shell is placed level on a bed of sand and filled while the sides are backfilled; an above-ground model is placed on flat and stable ground.
What depth according to the inhabitants:
| You want to keep | What to aim for |
|---|---|
| Aquatic plants only | all shells are suitable, with ledges for bank plants |
| Goldfish that overwinter outside | a deep zone of 80 cm to 1 m: choose the deepest shell possible |
| Koi carp | about 5 m³ at minimum: a shell is not suitable, prefer an EPDM liner |
Frequently asked questions
What size preformed pond to choose?
Take the largest volume your garden allows: the water remains more stable. For fish that spend the winter outside, especially check the depth of the lowest zone.
Can you put fish in a preformed pond?
Yes for a few goldfish if the shell is deep enough and filtered. Koi carp require about 5 m³ at minimum: a preformed shell is not suitable for them.
How to install a preformed pond?
Dig a hole slightly wider than the shell, place a bed of sand, level the shell, then fill it gradually with water while backfilling the sides with sand or fine soil.
How to hide the edges of a preformed pond?
With flat stones placed slightly overhanging, a gravelled liner, or bank plants. Our guide details each solution.
Preformed pond or EPDM liner?
The shell is quick to install for a small pond. For a larger, deeper, or free-form pond, an EPDM liner is more suitable.
