well I am outside city limits and we will have it chainlinked so I don't think the depth will matter. I don't plan on making it more than 3 ft deep though because it will be easier for me to clean that way. The other thing is, I already have a liner and I have to dig it to be able to use the liner I have. I will not be digging it this spring, probably next fall or maybe over the winter. I don't plan on having koi, I just had goldfish in my last pond and was really pleased with them.
