Description

Ideal for both beginners and more seasoned aquarists, the Lotus Toughline Woodpecker Preformed Pond is a versatile and functional plastic pond that will allow you to create a flourishing aquatic sanctuary in your garden for fish, plant species and local wildlife.

It goes without saying that by installing this preformed pond, you'll be adding tremendous visual appeal to your landscape that you will enjoy for many years to come. On the other hand, a more practical benefit is that the introduction of water to your outdoor space will help to create a natural ecosystem that will attract animals, such as frogs, toads, newts, dragonflies and more into your garden. This will, in turn, foster a vibrant and biodiverse environment.

This model comes with marginal shelves that are moulded into the structure for your convenience. The greatest benefit of these shelves is that you can introduce a mixture of plants, including species that prefer shallow water and species that prefer deeper water. These contrasting levels will not only contribute towards providing a natural waterside look, but they'll also become favoured by wildlife who will use them as steps to get in and out of the pond as they please.

Made from rigid HDPE plastic, this pond is robust in construction and should last you a lifetime if installed and maintained appropriately. The installation process is very easy: simply dig a hole, place the pond inside and then backfill with soft sand or sifted soil as you gradually add water. Don't forget to ensure that the pond remains completely level at all times during installation.

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

Excellent product

A lot sturdier than most on the market. It arrived within days and once in place it looks fabulous. The side ledges provide room for 4 marginal planters and the inner space is deep enough to over winter fish safely.

barry Asked:

Can you stand these ponds on flat ground and erect a wooden side structure around it?

We Replied:

Dear Barry Thank you for your question. We can only recommend these ponds as below ground structures. Above ground to properly support the contours of the pond it will need to be backfilled.

Deak Asked:

Could you please let me know what filtering system would be suitable for this pond?

We Replied:

Dear Monika Thank you for your question. This pond holds 475 litres of water. A filtration system for this size would depend on what and how many fish you would like to keep. Goldfish would require a small filtration system of about 600 litres. A small simple filter such as the Easy Clear 3000 (https://www.gardensite.co.uk/aquatics/hozelock-easyclear-3000-filter-pump.htm) would suffice. If you were looking to keep Koi you would need a system that could cope with about 1000 litres and the Hozelock Filtration Kit 2500 be appropriate: (https://www.gardensite.co.uk/aquatics/hozelock-filtration-kit-2500.htm) Should you wish to contact us further or to place an order, please call us on 0121 355 7701.
