Presenting the Lotus Toughline Swift Preformed Pond, a compact preformed plastic pond with a capacity of 75 litres, making it ideal for use as a humble, natural sanctuary for small fish and aquatic plants.
At a length of 137cm and a depth of 38cm, this model is a great starter pond for novices who want to try their hand at pond keeping. It's also an ideal choice for people who have small gardens or limited outdoor space. What's more, thanks to its informal look and shape, it'll blend in harmoniously with any existing environment, creating a seamless transition between water and land.
Although strictly speaking it can be used to house small fish, due to its limited volume, we believe that this pond is best used to support wildlife and aquatic plants. By having running water in your garden, you'll attract local wildlife, such as frogs, toads, newts, dragonflies and more, who will visit your pond and in turn contribute towards creating a natural ecosystem in your garden.
The installation process is very quick and easy - simply dig a hole, drop the pond inside and then slowly backfill with soft sand or sifted soil as you gradually add water, making sure to check that the pond remains completely level at all times.
This model is moulded from high-density polyethylene which is UV resistant to ensure durability and longevity. For your peace of mind, it also comes with a 25-year manufacturer's guarantee.
The Swift model is the smallest in Lotus's 'Toughline' collection of preformed ponds, which also includes the Wren, Partridge, Jay, Woodpecker, Dove & Kestrel.
