Tight pond
The shape we give our pond when we build it usually has to do with personal taste. But also with the design of the rest of the garden. In a rectangular garden, which is enclosed with fences or brick walls, for example, a sleek pond looks very good. Sleek ponds can be seen as an extension of your living room. A sleek pond with powerful sight lines is often the centerpiece of the garden.

Want a sleek pond? Then choose many of the same types of pond plants together. This keeps the look calm and accentuates the sleek pond shape.
You probably also want plants in your pond. Basically, any pond plant is suitable for tight ponds. Again, though, keep in mind the depth at which different types of plants should be placed. It is best to choose many of the same types of pond plants together. This keeps the picture calm and accentuates the tight pond shape.
A koi pond also usually has a tight pond shape. This shape is most suitable for keeping koi. Also because with the rectangular shapes you can go directly into the depth. So you can make a deep pond where you “lose” relatively little surface area to shallow water. Koi need at least a 150 cm deep pond to hibernate.
