Not sure if you mean the exterior wall, or the bit with the water in???? Please verify.

I presume that'll be the pond bit that holds the water.

yep, the bit that holds the water - make it concrete or block built, then this fella does his thing. you can buy decent liner for £1 OR £2 A msq (plus the excess you cut off and waste), but if the budget is there, fibreglass knocks spots off it finish wise - no folds etc and someone else does all the work
