Are koi ponds expensive?
I am getting a koi pond but no one I know has one my backyard is huge and has several spots.
This a very cheap project for a do it yourselfer. Some basics
1 dig the size hole you need.
2 place a rubber liner in the hole. I use rubber used for roofing.make sure the liner is big enough to lap out of the hole a few feet.
3 place stones around the out side making sure to place a row of stone on the rubber to hold rubber in place.
4 purchase filter and pump system
You now have a pond. Ask around to find out how deep you need to go in your area for freeze.

They can be. Koi need so much filtration and the systems can be very very expensive. Koi food is also expensive. Goldfish ponds are much cheaper because they need little filtration and no food at all if the pond is ecologically balanced.
