Father's Day Gift Idea: Do-It-Yourself Backyard Pond Kit

This Father's Day, sit back and enjoy a nice cold drink with your father, while he's beaming with pride from ear to ear. You are both relaxing next to the sounds of trickling water emanating from the new water feature that he just installed himself. For the father who enjoys gardening, what better gift can there be to keep him occupied, than a do-it-yourself backyard gardening project?

Traditionally, preformed ponds are large shells, which are extremely burdensome and difficult to transport. For example, a typical preformed pond kit would come in a box that is 60" x 48" x 24", which is too large for many car trunk sizes. Liner kits, on the other hand, present many difficulties for the beginner pond gardener. Since every liner pond shape is different, pond gardeners must customize their own pond and ensure that it is level, and that it does not have excessive wrinkling.

Recently, Algreen Products Inc. has helped leverage both these problems by introducing a flexible preformed pond. The folding preformed/liner hybrid is created with a proprietary blend of materials, which allows it to hold a customized shape. Yet it is easily transportable, since a typical folding kit comes in a box one-sixth the size of a regular preformed kit.

Algreen's folding preformed pond kits are easy to install, and come with all the instructions and components that are required to set up your very own backyard garden pond. The only thing that this kit does not include is a shovel, and the priceless grin on your father's face as he admires his own personal handiwork.

While quantities last, GardenSM.com is now offering a free upgrade from their 72 gallon black pond kit, to their new 72 gallon granite rock pond kit. Their 72 gallon rock pond kit comes complete with:

- Tubing and clamps
