Cost of Patio Ponds
Patio ponds range between $250 and $600 or more, depending on the size and depth of your container as well as what you plan on putting in your patio pond, such as decorative fountains, plants and fish.
Considering that a small backyard pond starts at a couple of thousand dollars, this is a much more affordable option for many.
Patio ponds come in a range of sizes, generally from 16 inches to 44 inches wide. The picture below shows the Aquatic Patio Pond Kit by Aquascape, a small patio pond that costs around $250. It is 16 inches wide and includes a fountain pump and plumbing. Remember, before you purchase a patio pond, be sure to check whether it comes with plumbing or not. Some items may not be included.
