I’ve never had anything like this before, it’s a real focus in the garden. Comes with everything you need for a first time fishpond.
A wee bit fidgety to build, but we looked at setup videos which helped. Once built it is very sturdy and my fish are living their best lives now
Admittedly, it’s a little expensive for what it is but the effect if fantastic, all my family love it.
After opening the box. Good job we dudnt build it 1st. We found the light that was boxed with the filter ect was smashed and also plastic parts were broken. There should be a warning on the filter box to explain to handle with care
I ordered this and it arrived (not in new condition and had missing items) some of the supporting beams wouldn’t even fit as they were longer.
However the seller arranged collection of the item and I purchased another one which came in as described and was easy to put together. It looks beautiful and even though it was frustrating to have to return the first one this one arrived in perfect condition and we love it.
Brilliant purchase, bigger area and magnified portholes are great for seeing all the fish. Construction was okay took about 2hrs, instructions were adequate also Blagdon’s video helped. Fits neatly into small garden, pump options, flower basket and waterfall add to a great buy.
I paid a 230 discount for a damaged box.
Okay I hear you say that’s a big discount for a damaged box
There was a bit more than that, there is a label on one of the port holes that can’t be removed.
The liner holding bolts don’t fit , thank goodness for cable ties but over all a lovely little pond.
Looks fabulous on my patio.
Instructions were not as clear as we were lead to belive but once up and filled with water its lovely.sadly we put 2 of the window port holes in upside down lol and hadnt realized till it was full of water so we left it alone.we had our first 3 kio carp taken by a heron so it has a net on the top of it now.its lovely to sit and listen to when done
Love my new pond. It took me about two hours to put up by myself. Looks great in my garden. Can’t wait for the summer to enjoy it more.
Please ensure that you unpack EVERY LITTLE ITEM before you start assembly. Not easy to assemble but the reward can be great. The package I had delivered was unfortunately tampered with. The light part of the pump had been used or at the very least returned. There was tell tale tape around the cable that was not part of the set, clearly someone had tried to thread the cable through a wall before returning it! The box was slightly damaged but at the time I paid no attention to it forget it at your peril!!!!
Now that it is assembled and on the decking I’m happy with it but it was a bit of a pain to assemble and I never managed to get the plant holder to stay clipped in.
Bought this to put on my small decking area.lt was easy to put together and the instructions were easy to follow.Looks ok and feels sturdy,nice to see the fish through the windows I will buy a few more as only have 1.
That isn’t an unreserved recommendation though – it needs a LOT of work to keep it looking nice and the pump working properly. The in pond filter unit takes up approx 50% of the area of the base of the pond which means that a large portion of fish poo and general muck either lands on or gets drawn into the filter. This seems to overwhelm it and, during the summer in particular, the pump pretty much much grinds to a halt every 1 – 2 weeks. This means the filter needs taking out, cleaning and the pump unit flushing through with a hose. Then it’s great again, but it’s a time consuming, dirty and unpleasant job. A friend bought the larger size version of this pond (which is what prompted me to get mine) and he doesn’t seem to have the problem to the same extent so I think it’s largely a result of how much of the base of the pond the filter takes up – in a larger area more muck would settle around it than in it!
The water also evaporates at an alarming rate in the summer too and it needs topping up every week (not a problem Blagdon can do anything about of course, but worth bearing in mind in terms of maintenance levels). Lastly, the porthole windows go green with algae very quickly when the sun is on them, and again scrubbing them clean is a weekly task. I’ve only ever cleaned them with the official cleaning cloths Blagdon produce and they were fine for 18 months, but in the last 6 months they have started to scuff slightly, leaving them looking a little cloudy even when clean, which is a bit annoying as it’s lovely to see the bright colours of the fish when the windows are properly clear.
In summary, these ponds are a nice addition to your garden but if I were to buy one again I’d go for the larger size, otherwise be prepared to spend a lot of time maintaining it!
Really pleased with the pond. Took a couple of hours to assemble and fill, single handed, with no issues. As long as you take your time to read the instructions and lay all the pieces out first, it’s very simple. Easy to plant up and my fish love their new extended place. Looks great at night too.
I assembled my pond in about an hour. I for find the waterfall a little high, that made it quite noisy. But with a little fettling I lowered it and it’s now perfect.
The construction is very good and the assembled pond looks great.
I’ve planted it and am now waiting for 2 or 3 weeks before introducing the fish.
I would recommend buying the extra UV filter to keep the pond in top conditio
We bought our Blagdon Affinity Octagon Mocha Weave pool at the end of June. We’d seen the pool up and running in a local garden centre a year ago and nearly bought one. But thought it maybe an impulse purchase. So we waited and 9 months later still wanted one. And we are glad we now have one in our garden.
The quality is very good and it was fairly easy to install / set up with good instructions and a bit of patience! Value for money wise it is well worth the investment. The sound of the water flow on our patio is relaxing and having live fish to look after and watch is just lovely.
The only negative I have is that the set up does not come with plugs. For a pond that cost in excess of 400 it is worth the criticism on here.
If you are thinking about buying one and cannot decide if you ant to spend the money all I can say is that you will not regret it. The initial outlay is long forgotten once you are up and running.
A quality product.
Easy instructions put together quickly. We filled it with water sand left it for a week. Then got fish and accessories. What a beautiful result. Lovely to sit and watch fish swimming about, very therapeutic when life gets too busy.
Nice sturdy above ground pond but instructions made it alot harder to put together than it should have been. I recommend when putting sections together, put the leg in too and clip them together. It stops the parts separating then as you work around the pond top section. Overall it looks great in the garden and I’d definitely recommend it as an all in one solution for any garde
We have six fish and they fit perfect and love the pond.
When this arrived I thought somethings missing box is not big enough, so I couldn’t wait for help to assemble, I’m 76 with arthritis in hands and fingers., so I set about doing it myself. I’ve got to admit it wasn’t easy and it took me about 3hrs to assemble outer layer the screws we’re the hardest for me but I managed. Left liner until next day, now that was not easy to clip liner onto hooks but I eventually got there, set it where I wanted it, I already had a barrel pond with 4 fish in so I emptied that one, filled the new one up and I am really happy with it in fact I’m sure the fish are enjoying it as they are always at the windows as if their looking out. If you read about the pond it says only one planter and no plug fitted. One very happy customer now that it’s built.
It wasn’t the easiest to put together on my own, but got it done in a couple of hours (with waiting for the panels to warm in the sunshine).. but DO put the fleece down first.. you assemble it upside-down!
The liner doesn’t sit straight down the walls, so I can’t put the plants that sit on the bottom into the corner and have had to put in a couple of bricks just to keep them in place and stop them sliding further into the middle. I’ve used S-hooks to hold the marginals pots, hooked into the pre-drilled holes, rather than buying extra clip-in blagdon holders.
It’s taken a couple of weeks for the water to become properly sparkling clear, without addition of anything. My water came from water butts, and was pretty murky to start.
Can’t wait to get the fish in and see them swimming about.
Excellent easy to build pond which gives great view of fish. All kit required to maintain pond supplied and included dawn to dusk light gives a very pretty effect at night.
