Description

Elevate and enrich your garden with the Lotus Toughline Kestrel Preformed Pond - an informally-shaped, rectangular plastic pond that will fit in seamlessly with the existing environment and soon become a preferred sanctuary for aquatic visitors, such as newts, toads, frogs and dragonflies.

This preformed plastic pond has been cleverly designed to be as user-friendly as possible, making it ideal for both first-time pond keepers and seasoned aquarists. It comes complete with a convenient integrated shelf that allows for varying planting depths which is fantastic for plants that prefer to grow in shallow water, such as yellow iris or flowering rush. This shelf will also be used by visiting wildlife as a 'pathway' to get in and out of the water.

This model has a capacity of 635 litres, meaning you can house a wide variety of fish and plants. What's more, with a depth of 51cm, it's deep enough to ensure a safe environment for fish during the cold winter months when they'll become dormant.

The installation process is a quick and easy - simply dig a hole in the ground, place the pond inside and then backfill with soft sand or sifted soil as you gradually add water. It's paramount to ensure that the pond remains 100% level at all times during the installation process.

Sturdily designed with a robust construction made from thick and rigid HDPE plastic, this preformed pond will remain a terrific aquatic habitat for many years to come if installed and maintained to an appropriate level.

The Kestrel model is part of Lotus's 'Toughline' collection of preformed ponds, which also includes the Swift, Wren, Partridge, Jay, Woodpecker & Dove.

10/10 for everything!

A truly great product for the money. It is very strong yet easily drilled to fit taps etc. A 'bit' of a handful sizewise, but nothing to worry about. I am VERY pleased with it.
