The original design is about 35K gal. It has to be gunite with heavy retaining wall for that size.

I am happy for Nathan, with the help of Dunkel this pond will get done quick...
The pond will be rebar 5 for the floor and rebar 4 for the sides....the walls of the pond will be shot with polyuera. At this point there isn't anything stopping this 2 time GC winner...
