Oase Pe Preformed Garden Pond - Black

The Oase PE 150 Preformed Pond has a maximum water volume of 1 cubic meter (1 m³).

While it's designed for in-ground installation, it might be possible to partially or fully surface-mount it with significant structural support and landscaping to ensure stability and safety. However, in-ground installation is recommended.

Use aquatic plants suitable for pond shelves. Good choices include oxygenating plants like Elodea, and marginal plants such as Iris, Marsh Marigold, or Water Forget-Me-Not.

For optimal water quality and health, a pond pump and filter appropriate for the pond's volume (up to 1 m³) are highly recommended, especially if you plan to keep fish or have a high density of plants.

The product description does not specify the exact depth, but its dimensions are designed to accommodate aquatic plants and potentially small wildlife.

The bio-edge is a built-in, natural-looking rim designed to help the pond blend into its surroundings and provide a habitat for beneficial microorganisms and insects.

The pond is made from durable polyethylene, which typically offers good resistance to UV rays, ensuring longevity in outdoor conditions.

Carefully adjust the soil or sand beneath the pond until it is perfectly level. Re-check with a spirit level.

Ensure adequate filtration and aeration are in place. Add beneficial bacteria treatments and ensure planting shelves are populated with healthy aquatic plants. Remove excessive algae manually.

Ensure there are safe access and exit points (e.g., gently sloping edges or rocks). Add a variety of suitable aquatic and marginal plants. Avoid using chemicals that could harm wildlife.

The backfill material around the pond is likely not compacted enough. Gently excavate the soil away from the pond walls, add more sand or soil, and compact it firmly in layers as you backfill again.
