Let me preface this by saying, anyone who knows anything about me knows that I hate stuff that is done half-assed or slip-shot.
One of my pet peaves is when you buy something and then the sales person tells you, "Oh, but you're going to need this . . . ."
For example, if I tell you you can't feed your fish until the water temperature is above 55º Fahrenheit, you're gonna ask me
how you'll know when the water temperature is above 55º Fahrenheit, right? Well, to know that, you have to buy this little
sinking pond thermometer. Granted, a pond thermometer is only an $12.00 purchase, but when you get into aerators, bottom
drains, and the right filter media, you're talking big bucks, and the last thing you (or I) want to do is to have to purchase
something ELSE to make the whole system work the way it should have from the git-go. Therefore, when I bid out pond
projects, I bid EVERYTHING. My kit prices are really not that much more of a financial investment than kits from other pond
suppliers, but when you order a kit from me, you'll know you're getting everything you need for a successful finished project,
plus you have access to my vast wealth of nearly useless information. Please keep this in mind when reviewing the following
list of materials.

To give you an idea of the prices of these materials, I'll use a 11' x 14' x 3' deep pond, with a 15' long stream as an example,
since this is the average size of the ponds I install. For a pond this size, you will need the following materials:

The items listed above are shown at their suggested retail pricing if purchased individually, however, if these same items are
purchased as an entire kit, I offer a discount. For the sake of this discussion, and to avoid confusion with regard to pricing on
the Products pages of this web site, I am using *suggested retail* here.
Again, you don't HAVE to buy everything listed here to build a pond, but I have found it a LOT easier to have all the
components I need to complete a project at my disposal.
