Best thing I ever bough
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.
I decided to treat myself and this pool lives up to expectations. I (51f) built it myself to liner stage in around 1h 10m. There is a lot of kneeling involved but doable for me. I found the instructions easy, however I do have ADHD so approach things logically which may have helped. Well worth the money in my opinion.
We had a smaller Blagdon for 7 years which we loved but we decided to upgraded and so glad we did Easy assembly and sturdy, as it is on our decking it wasn’t quite level so bought some black guttering, filled with soil and pea shingle then added some easy going plants which will establish over time and just finished the pond off.
Be aware of glass
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
Check that you have everything inc all the bolts
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.
The fish are very happy!
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.
Lovely little pond
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.
I bought one of these a year ago. It had 5 windows and 2 plant baskets. I need another pond and have been happy with the current one, so I searched for another the same spec to match. I checked World Of Water and Amazon and oddly enough they both said their Blagdon ponds had 3 windows and 1 plant basket. Reluctantly, I ordered it, only to find it has come from World Of Water and has 5 windows and 2 plant baskets. I now have 2 ponds side-by-side and I love them. WOW need to correct their adverts, and I recommend these ponds. It takes 2 people 2 hours to erect, but once erected they are great to look at and see your fish swimming.
A total pain in the arse to put together but did this solo so with two people it would probably be ok. It’s also pretty small. I’ve had Blagdon ponds before and didn’t measure but it’s fine for my two fish and less of a hassle to clean. Over all really pleased.
Instructions not that clear to follow but once up and running its good
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
Blagdon affinity octagon pond
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.
Buyer beware
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!!!!
Looks great on the decking
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.
Great pond, great value and looks great. Only problem is that this model is not covered by the clear water guarantee and due to it not having a UV clarifier ends up with pea green water within weeks. Thankfully a UV upgrade can be purchased separately.
Great little fish pond.
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.
I bought this pond just over 2 years ago so thought I’d offer my considered opinion on it. Firstly, it looks really nice. It’s very relaxing sitting in the garden on a summer evening, listening to the waterfall and watching the fish swimming past the windows. Overall, I’m glad I bought it.
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!
Love 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.
So very pleased with my pond
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
It doesn't come with plugs!
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.
Wonderful product. Just wanted small pond to watch fish with no effort.
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.
Really love this pond.. it was very easy to assemble, I did it with ease by myself.. I did read reviews that said things did not align properly but if you take your time and make sure you follow the steps this does not become a problem and everything lined up well.. looks so good when up and running.
Great pond but instructions make it so much harde
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
grea
We have six fish and they fit perfect and love the pond.
Beautiful little 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.
Really loving this pond. I wanted to get it set up and give it a few weeks to settle before introducing the fish.. and even though they’re not in it yet, I love the gentle trickle and just being able to see the plants through the windows, especially when the sun shines down and makes them dance with the rays from the ripples!
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.
Great Pond
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.
Great small pond
Great little pond looks great on my decking really impressed with the quality and not to difficult to assemble combined with the blagdon switch box it’s a great addition to the garden love sitting near it with a brew watching the fish and listening to the water very calming
Brilliant addition to garde
Great product, we put in a separate isolated switch, looks fantastic on our decking, added gravel and stones, played about with water additives and will get fish next weekend, it has been recommended that 3 fish is enough for this little pond
Worth i
All great apart from the support strut screws and plugs which I have had to superglue into place apart from that it was easy to assemble..
The liner I have had to fix in with cable ties but altogether worth the money ..
Top tip before installing the pump remove the stuff from the bags also run them I’m clean water for a few days as they do cloud the pond
Octagon pond
The instructions was not clear, no plug on filter or light which I thought would be included with the price of 400 now have to go and buy to get it up and running, outside rattan easily threaded when putting together, don’t put it up when you have children around you they think it’s a paddling pool
Outdoor free standing pond
Great little SMALL free standing pond , be aware though when they give you the height it includes the Fountain ( Not obvious in write up ), but does look great and the LED stays on always on the 2000 pump, where as on the 3000 you have that option to put in night time mode.

I was very pleased with this pond. During the 2020 lockdown I made a pond out of a half barrel, but the fish soon outgrew it. I saw this on Amazon and the price was right, so purchased it. I’m not technically minded, but my neighbour is, he soon had it together. The hardest part of the job was levelling the pond. Once all was completed, pump put together and wired in, filled with rainwater, I put the fish back. They seem happy, but who knows with goldfish. Added some stones from a local garden centre which look good. Can’t add more fish or plants until the spring. So will update later. The only niggle which is not really important, is I can’t find how to attach the provided plant holders. Will keep thinking.
Just thought I’d share this, the pond has been in place for six weeks now and has attracted many admirers. I cleaned out the filter yesterday – easy to do – and at the same time I wiped away the algae that had covered the unit. I paid special attention to the sensor and the LED bulb, since then, the light has not been on almost 24/7 and the bulb is brighter. Just a tiny thing but worth knowing.
Stunning feature

When fitting the bracing bars you may need a hand,because they need to fit tigh
I find this a great product,myGrandkids love looking through the windows at the fish as it magnifies the fish.Also would like to say the Pump they supply is spot on to operate the waterfall.

Blagdon Affinity Mocha Corner Weave Pool

Looks absolutely fabulous on our patio love i
This pond look great. A little awkward to put together but we’ll worth it. Time will tell if it’s value for money
Value for money
Value for money, wasn’t to bad to assemble. Make sure the pump is on properly or it pops off.
I’m happy with the pond now its up and running.. The foundation is perfect. The pump and filter unit so easy to put together and working great. I was surprised how powerful it was for such a small pond .
Excellent points.
Idea for a water feature or pond for small spaces . Excellent instructions.
Everything is marked with labels so it’s easy to know what goes where .
The only down side is the special tool to put the locking clips in.. its sharp and cut my hands using it. It can be so hard to lock them in place. You need to think about smoothing the sides on the tool to make it better .
Would I buy the pond again ..yes I would and recommend it to family and friends
Nice little pond!
It’s fairly simple to put together and I imagine it’s easy to dissemble too. It’s a nice little addition to the decking area! It came with different pieces for the mini fountain so you can change how the water comes up too. Definitely not a bad purchase 🙂

Absolutely love i
We had to up grade our little fish pond because my naughty dog kept trying to eat the lily pads and flowers. I hoping that this fish pond would be a bit bigger for the amount of money but in saying that I’m still very please with it and my dog now leaves the lily alone. The pump that comes with it works fantastic, the water stays lovely and clear and the fish seem very happy in there.

Just WOW!!
Built in less than an hour – quick wire into back of any socket / very easy!! I was amazed putting it together very clever engineering
Love i
Very very easy to put together, i did it all alone and it took me about 1 and a 1/2 hours. The only problem ” my foult” its very very small so i will need to purchase a larger one. I just wish i could only by the Pond not the stuff with it since it is very coastly to send all the way to Iceland. But i will use this one at the balcony. But amazing product.
Fantastic
When I first read some of the reviews I was hesitant to purchase but I went fot it any way. So happy I did it came fast well packaged and so easy to put together the instructions were great.

Not good but not bad
Smaller than you think the instructions was very poor and the mat they give you to build on was no bigger than a hankerchef nice when built but I don’t think it was worth the price that’s just my opio
Expensive but looks nice
It looks great in the garden and the quality of the materials is ok. Is it expensive for what it is ? Maybe but the filter/pump unit is good. It works well in a small garden if you want a few small fish

Best pond
Took my neice and her husband roughly an hour to fix it up. Slowly added plants and my fish are thriving. It has become the focal point in my backyard everyone loves it especially the kids they live the windows.
Nice and does the job
I bought this for my 82 year old dad for his birthday and I was excited about it as he loves his garden. It was a bit of a nightmare to put together and the instructions where not great but now we have it set up and waited for the water to settle and got some plants and fish in, he now loves it. great item but a little pricey for what you get.

Got this on Prime day and couldn’t be happier with it. The fish love watching the world go by through the windows too
