DIY Budget Pond Build For Under $300! 

Saving to my future pond build playlist

I almost ordered a 300 dollar turtle tub but then my dad found a tub that was almost the same for 15 bucks! So we saved a ton.

You rock! My son now has 5 turtles and is in the process of building his own 1,000 gallon Koi pond! So fun! He has all of his friends helping him build it. It's going to be awesome!

wow can’t believe that amazing pond cost a little over 200.00 dollars .YOU ARE TALENTED !

Your energy is amazing, and your ideas will be very helpful in the future when I build a waterfall and small pond at my daughter’s house.

The one thing that I hardly ever see in an inexpensive pond is an overflow pipe. If you put a pipe straight up in the pond that allows the water to overflow at the ponds water height, then the pond/water will stay self regulated with out chlorine or additives. We had an old concrete pond in our backyard that the water overflowed through the pipe and came out in a lower section of the yard. The rain did all the work. We never messed with the pond water. We added some Gold Fish which reproduced and frogs came and other stuff. Occasionally, we would rake the leaves off the bottom. The Dead Sea is dead because it has no outlet for the water going into it. Sometimes my dad would put the hose in the pond and let the water run for a few minutes to let the water overflow. Water back in the 1970s was cheap. Just a thought.

That 24$ pump is amazing and not weak at all for a 200- setup just saying I have the same one it's been amazing and it is doubling as my filter pump

Good job with your 8K that is now almost 100 K👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼💖🇺🇸

Your so underrated!

i love your youtube videos and all your pets. you inspired me to get a turle i never used to like animals like that but the way you care for all your pets inspire me. keep up the good work

Wow! If only our front yard isnt concrete, i would definitely do this. Very creative!

I spent a whole weekend planing for a pond, I then watched your video and realized I plan for a pond in 20 mins!! Underrated masterpiece✨✨

Dude your the best underated RU-vidr... You're not only about fish tank and ECT you make people happy when the bored also inspired to do stuff .I really enjoy you're videos!

Outstanding job, I’m gonna do one in my front yard.

I am building a pond now and I hoped it would have totaled out at 500 but now it’s well over 2000! Keep up the good work!

This looks great

I'm impressed, I will be building one with my wife soon and use some of your tips nice dude!!

I’m planning a pond and your video was an inspiration. Thanks!

I’m building my own pond because I’ve always wanted to and you have inspired me as well. I have to save up money though as I live in Ireland and a lot of it is expensive.Love your videos,keep up the great work.

I love these cheap ideas and I'm going to have to check out the other first 2 videos ..keep up the great work ..

Great DIY Video for normal people like us. Not like some those Bulishit DIY which only professionals can do. I built mine before watching your video but I still like it. I just dug the pond. Took me 4-5 days as I am doing the entire front yard garden at the same time myself. I used some chicken fence and used metal wire as spike. Now I will pour concrete and will be done.

Beautiful pond thanks for sharing this pond comes in handy for people that don't have much money thanks again it looks great

That was the best tutorial I’m inspired and going to build my pond!!thanks

Thank you so much for inspiring me to build a pond in my garden

Have fun with pond

That's awesome. I have a container pond, but I kind of want to do one in ground later.

Love the vids it is so cool the pond looks awesome I don't think I would be able to make something as good

Well done.

I'm doing a pond ! My first! Your a inspiration!

A viewer all the way from Singapore! 🇸🇬! Loving your videos! Keep it up! 😇👍🏻

Definitely using this video for my turtles pond, this is awesome

Dude the pond so cool

I spent a total of $380 to build my 10' wide by 31" deep "cool pool". I'm on a budget as well. I dug the entire thing myself, down into clay, until I hit rock. My pool has several different shelf layers. It took me 9 weeks to dig the hole. I then lined the earth with a bunch of old used carpet I had on hand and I already had a boxed blue pool liner, my mother had bought a number of years ago and never used it. It was a liner for a 12' above ground pool. I bought the pump at around $189, 1" water pipe (100') to run 50' to the beginning of a creek. I also bought various pvc pipe pieces to run under the water level and down the shelves to my submersible pump. I recently just spent $95 on brick and concrete to line the pool. My pool is large enough for people to get in it. The deepest area is only about 5 x 7, but the surface area is a 10' circle, so I can actually float as well. I named it the "Cool Pool".

Thanks for giving the blessings

Cool Carson

Nice work man good looking pond Looks natural

Had a pond once. My dog ate my fish and started filling it in with dirt. I kept my plants wet, so they are still alive, but I gave up on my pond. Looks great. Good work.

Thank you for the videos!!! Been waiting for this one and within the summer will officially build my own pond, can't wait 🤪 keep the videos coming because I really like them.

Amazing vid, I'm actually building a recreation/turtle and fish pond in front of my porch. It is going to be expensive from what I can tell but it is worth it cause for five years I can enjoy it before I head out to college which then my mom, dad and brothers can use it. Very excited

Right on, ty

i love your ponds

Keep up the videos man we’re going to both blow up soon!! I’m getting a baby red eared slider soon so I’m watching your videos for tank and pond ideas !!

Awesome video! You are my favorite You Tuber. I have two turtles and everything you do inspired me to get them. Keep it up.

Don’t forget us when you have a million subscribers

Sweet vid bro!!! I appreciate your time and effort you put into your content. That is a pretty easy breakdown for an awesome price. Thank you so much for sharing

Good Job Carson!!!!

Hey buddy. I'm new but saw your pond video and I'm trying to do the same thing only I'm trying to spend next to nothing. What I need is more time and energy lmao and a good pump. I want 2000 gph atleast!

Loved it

Beautiful

Great recap and vid

Pretty sweet pond for the money.🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢

I'm from Brazil ando love your videos!

You’re awesome and I enjoy watching your budget pond builds and baby box turtle enclosures. Keep up the great inspiration videos!

Cool video dude

SO UNDERRATED! DEFINITELY SUBBING.

Great job! Miss mine. I had to on a budget also and was able to get rocks from roadsides and riverbeds. I ended up having raccoons enjoy it also and ate my fish. Keep up the videos.

The finished product looks awesome man! Plus you're close to 10k! Keep up the great work 👌

Me and my brother made a pond with $186

Keep up the good work bro ur vids are fire

Love your videos man! Keep it up the good work👍

Looks awesome! I'm trying to build a pond in my yard but everything costs like 10 times as much in Japan rip

Where can I learn more about making the intake bay and learning about the size pump I might need for my pond? I would imagine it might depend on the size of the pond. This video was wonderful and it is the one I keep coming back to. I am now seriously considering taking on this project. Thank you.

Next up, Carson builds a full length river through the upper United States

Channel is growing like crazy bro, made another account cause I lost my old one, made sure you were my first sub

Excellent!

What size pump would you use for a larger pond such as a koi pond (about 10 x 7 & 3 feet deep at the deepest point?) Thank you!

Congrats on 9k

Amazing price expecially how it's turned out it looks amazing keep up the great work you are a inspiration

instant sub going to do this in my backyard! any ideas on how to keep out other animals? like cats
