                Had a pool contractor dig, rebar, gunite & plastered it.  I did the plumbing & filtration.  

                If anyone decides to do one, don't let the pool guys design the filtration they're idiots when it comes to a true koi pond.  They'll want to use 2" drain lines & not enough flow for the biological load.  They know nothing except using chlorine to keep the water clear.
