Default Any tips

I'm starting digging a pond today. the plan is that it's 4 metres
long, 2 metres wide, and going down in steps to a maximum of 2 metres
deep. Anyone got any tips?

Some questions spring to mind - can I just dig the hole & line it -
will the sides cave in?
If I (as I hope to) use the soil from the hole to build up the sides
of the pond, how thick should the sides be?

And does anyone know of a decent pond shop in Kent (UK)?


Just had a thought. I have some Bradshaws liner underlay spare. Never
undone. 2Mts x 8Mts. I'm in Erith, Kent. Can be yours for the cost of your
petrol to pick it up.
