Why "Ten Ton Pond"?
Easy! The pond is 4.5m long, 1.5m wide and 1,5m deep. So that's just over 10 cubic metres of water, or 10,000 litres. A litre of water's a kilogramme and there are 1,000 of those in a tonne. A metric tonne is roughly the same size as an imperial one. So it's about ten tons! OK?
About this site
This set of web pages is really just so that people can see what I've done and understand some of my decisions. There's plenty of information available on the web to help you to find out about Koi, building a pond and suchlike, but relatively little about why people choose to do things the way that they do.
