Hi cheahkl,

Welcome to the forum.

1)
Koi pond can be built with normal construction materials such as steel bars, concrete, bricks, pvc pipes, waterproofing compound. In general, a pond building contractor will arrange such material for the pond construction.

2)
Many forum members here is most willing to advice you on the design of your pond. Post as many question as you wish.

3)
There are some lengthy discussion on pond construction in this threads and you may wish to read for information. http://www.koi.com.my/ubb/Forum6/HTML/000005.html

4)
Well it is important to understand the overall concept of water treatment and pond maintenance before you proceed with the design of your pond. A good pond must be able keep your pond water in tip top condition at all time and most important of all, it must be simple and easy to maintain. Most koi keeper like us are busy businessman anyway.

Hello,

Basically you will have to decide on the two most important point before proceeding :-

(1) What is the space available for building such pond.?

(2) What is your budget ?

Thank you Khoo and CCH.

Just found out that there is a Shop in TTDI that sells the construction materials.

Do the Koi enthusiasts here get together and visit each others ponds? I think that would be a good way to decide on the design and avoid pitfalls.

Yes, the koi club organise pond visits on regular basis and at this time, all members has a chance to meet each other to discuss pond, water quality, koi and exchange idea.

The club also holds regular seminar on water treatment and koi health. Our previous seminar was held last saturday in KL for all members.
