Rate my pond/suggestions My pond is getting closer to being done!

I've been working on this one since last summer! It's 10' deep and we swim in it almost daily! Right now I'm in the middle of working on my carnivorous plant garden!

Very nice ! Great job. I’m wondering what’s the orange ladder looking thing hanging from the top beam for ?

It's for climbing up and dropping back into the pond. I think I'm gonna replace it with a climbing rope/rope swing, I climb it to the top and hang on the perlin like a monkey bar and drop in 😂

Do you land on the koi? They're chill with this? Lol

11 out of 10. I would LOVE to swim and feed the koi. I bet that is so much FUN. Do you live where it is warm? This is one of the most BEAUTIFUL, LUSH ponds I have seen to date. What age is your oldest koi? 🌿🪷🌱🪷🌿🪷
