Step 1 Choose a container and dig a hole

We chose an old Rubbermaid tub that was used for storage.  Make sure it is clean and free from oils. Find a sunny location. Your pond will need at least 6 hours of sunshine per day.  We chose to dig a hole and put our tub in the ground, but you can have yours on the patio, on a deck, or in the yard.
