Elevated Pond Solutions: Top Raised Pond Ideas and Kits for the Year 2025

In the quest for a tranquil and attractive addition to your garden, a raised pond might just be the solution you've been seeking. These versatile water features offer a host of benefits, from being a safer option for families with small children to providing a calming ambience and serving as an attractive focal point.

When it comes to selecting a raised pond, there are several factors to consider. First and foremost, the size and shape of the pond should fit the area and complement the existing garden design. For instance, the Medium Preformed Raised Pond Kit, complete with a rectangular tub, wooden surround, and a pond pump, is a popular choice.

For those who prefer a more industrial-style garden design, the Corten Steel Pond could be the perfect fit. Made from Corten Steel, this pond comes in various sizes and is known for its distinctive weathering properties, which give it a rustic, aged look over time.

If you're an eco-conscious fish enthusiast, the Lotus Clear View Garden Aquarium, constructed from Forest Stewardship Council certified wood and boasting large viewing windows, is a great choice.

For smaller gardens or courtyards, the Zest Aquatic Planter, available in three sizes, is a simple yet classically styled raised pond. On the other hand, the Blagdon Affinity Corner Mocha Pond is an ingenious solution for fitting a raised pond into a small or oddly shaped garden.

The Norlog Garden Wishing Well Pond, with its unique slot design for easy construction, is made from renewable Swedish wood. An added bonus is that it comes with three sides that act as seating areas.

For those who prefer a hassle-free option, raised ponds require no digging and can be made in a day or fewer hours. The New Garden Pool with Liner, an easy-to-assemble hexagonal pond suitable for small outdoor spaces, is a prime example.

Remember, the material of the pond should be durable to last once installed. The frame for the Medium Preformed Raised Pond Kit comes ready to be painted or stained.

When it comes to fish and plant life, ensure the pond is deep and wide enough to accommodate their specific requirements. The Norlog Garden Wishing Well Fish Pond, for instance, can take around 227 litres of water, while the Medium Preformed Raised Pond is not large enough for koi but can house up to 30 small goldfish.

Pond plants can make the water feature lush and attractive to wildlife. For custom solutions involving Corten steel, it's advisable to contact steel manufacturers, landscape gardeners, or online steel fabricators in Germany directly.

Lastly, the supplied pump for the Medium Preformed Raised Pond Kit includes a filter and UVC to prevent green water, ensuring a clean and healthy environment for your aquatic life. With these considerations in mind, you're well on your way to creating a beautiful and serene raised pond in your garden.
