Garden Pond Kit

Probably by the time that you find your way to this rather short article you will have discovered the multitude of various water garden kits available on the internet.

Some of the offerings are an excellent value while others fall short in quality and price.

Expect the cost per square foot of pond to vary considerably depending on total size. As you might suspect the cost per square foot drops as pond size increases.

This is due to the most costly items such as pumps, filters and other items remaining about the same, let’s say, on pond sizes from four by six feet up to eleven by sixteen feet.

About the only variable is the increase in liner and underlayment size with the cost here being quite modest.

There may be a small additional amount for a larger pump but almost everything else remains the same.

The following is an actual example of cost per square foot of water garden kits based on the retail price from a quality manufacturer:

• 4’ X 6’ @ $48.48.
• 6’ X 8’ @ $24.78.
• 6’ X 11’ @ $18.42.
• 8’ X 11’ @ $14.41.
• 11’ X 11’ @ $10.69.
• 12’ X 16’ @ $7.83.

So when it comes to water gardens it certainly pays to think in terms of the larger sizes.
