Several of the larger koi pond have viewing windows in the sides so there should be no more problems with a glass panel at the side of the pond.
What sort of depth of water are you thinking of as the pressure goes up as the depth increases, typical pond wall will be 5-6ft deep.
They are done by builing a heavy steel frame into the wall and then fibreglassing the whole lot before bonding a thick sheet of glass to the frame.
Best to ask on a koi forum.

Jasonb, you missed the pint, he already has 2 ponds, this one (if you look at the drawing ) is so anyone can walk under it, not just another pond, but as i mentioned it will need a lot of cleeaninbg so the op has shelved this idea

i have to disagree.
firstly its not, since as you pointed out yuo make a steel frams and put the glass in that,
secondly the whole pond is going to be glass, so it wil not be anything like a pond with a panel in the side.

Thanks for replies guys. Nah, the pond idea is dead and buried (excuse the pun lol) I'm afraid and that's before the digging is done lol.
Now, I envision having old steps (like in a castle) leading down to a cellar room which will have an old creaking front door, but it's easier said than done. Still, I need to get this digging over with at the moment. My garden looks like a building site with a 6 foot escavation, but at least without all the fag ends and empty sandwich wrappers lol. I just can't imagine how long it's going to take though and I just hope my barmy ideas are worth getting soil in my boots
