my patio painted koi pond
I would have loved to have had a real Koi Pond..but with the weather conditions here it would not be advisable. BINGO!! I said to my self... why not...so I painted one. Here is my completed inspired painted project. My company love to sit around the pond, while they visit. It is a great conversation piece. The fish are about 8-10 inches long.

How To Make my patio painted koi pond
-
Step 1Clean you cement slab with soap and water.. Rinse well. Let dry. Paint the undercoat.

Step 2Paint the water in for the back ground. Pencil on the shape fish you want in your pond, also a couple water lilies. Get out your paint and brushes..and start painting!! Take your time, a little painting every day... will get it done. Be sure to paint in a few bubbles, and wavy water lines. When you are satisfied with your results...spray with polyethylene to seal.

Step 3I have mine on the covered patio, away from the sun. Taking a chance in a sunny place, might fade my pond. I have had it outside for 3 years now.. Best part is, they will not freeze, I don,t have to feed them, they won't die, or be fish napped!
