Enhance your garden effortlessly with the Oase PE 250 preformed pond. This compact and lightweight pond is designed for easy installation, making it an ideal choice for small spaces. With a 250-litre capacity, integrated shelves, and sturdy construction, it supports diverse aquatic plant life and encourages wildlife. Transform your outdoor area with this simple yet durable pond solution.
Are you looking for a quick and easy way to introduce water into your outdoor space? If so, the 250 Preformed Pond is a great place to start - being one of the more compact models in the Oase range, its perfect for small gardens with restricted space.
This model has a capacity of 250 litres and comes with integrated shelves that are pre-moulded to the structure so that the pond can be filled with aquatic plants positioned at varying depths. A fantastic benefit of these shelves is that they help to encourage wildlife in and out of the pond, as they will use them as pathways or stepping stones to get themselves in and out of the water with ease.
Installation is quick and fuss-free: all you have to do is dig a hole and backfill as you gradually add the water, making sure the pond remains 100% level at all times. The pond itself is very lightweight, meaning it's easy to pick up and move around should you wish to relocate it at any point in the future.
Constructed from 3-4mm thick rigid polyethylene (PE) plastic, this pond has been designed to last a lifetime if installed and maintained correctly. For your peace of mind, there is a 15-year manufacturer's guarantee.
This model is part of Oase's preformed pond collection which is also available in the following sizes: 150, 500, 750 and 1000.
Please Note:
Ponds are supplied unboxed and are stored outside at our show site. It is normal for slight visual imperfections on the product's surface to be present upon delivery, including dirt and superficial marks. Due to the way they are moulded, pond edges may be subject to creasing during transportation, especially in warm weather conditions. These will settle once installed and do not affect the pond's integrity.

Good value pond
Looks like a version of the more expensive Oase PE250 pond. Edge lip is good for lots of small pots of marginals which along with some boulders should hide the edge eventually. Delivery was fine, could not get the address label off though and it was stuck to the interior shelf,can hardly notice it now. Looks like good quality durable plastic which should last a while.

pond too thin and flimsy, not >2mm as stated
Good shape and shelving, the pond thickness is not as stated and has little rigidity. As this pond is recommended for in ground installation then this is to be excused but the wall thickness as stated in excess of 2mm was the main reason for this purchase and I am a little disappointed.
What would you recommend to go underneath the Pontec Preformed Pond? Should we just fill the escavated hole with sand or earth or should we put in a liner?
We Replied:Dear Patti Thank you for your question.

Thursday 05th, June, 2014I want to buy the Pontec PE 250 Litre Preformed Pond. However, I don't want to put it into the ground. Would it just stand without falling on my deck?
We Replied:Dear Abi Thank you for your question. Without support these ponds will not stand without support. if you desired a free standing effect you would be required to build a supporting frame around the pool and also back fill the surround with soil to fully support the whole pond. Should you wish to contact us further or to place an order, please call us on 0121 355 7701. Thank you for using our online Q&A system. Kind regards Paul Ilsley
Saturday 18th, July, 2015I am planning to use this as a duck pond, however if I dig down about 1ft there is solid chalk. Could you advise me on a solution to this problem, should I perhaps build a wooden support frame for the pond ?
We Replied:Dear Mark, Thank you for your question. We only recommend using this pond as a below ground installation. if you were to install this above ground it would require a retaining wall, the void behind it to be back filled, and full support provided in all areas. Should you wish to contact us further or to place an order, please call us on 0121 355 7701. Thank you for using our online Q&A system. Kind Regards Dan Everton
Tuesday 20th, October, 2015Has this pond got an overflow spout as i wish to use this it as a feeder to my main pond?
