While you’re planning out all your major garden and patio renovations throughout the summer season, you may be looking for ways to add unique features. However, while many outstanding garden features can fetch a high price, shoppers can save as much as £43 on a compact and ‘brilliant little pond’ while spending under £200.
While Dunelm usually offers the Zest Outdoor Living Medium Aquatic Wooden Planter for £219, it is currently discounted by 20%, bringing its total price down to just £175.20. The planter can create the perfect small space to set up your own personal pond, without the need to completely tear apart and renovate your carefully curated garden.
The aquatic planter helps achieve this with its pressure-treated softwood timber, paired with a durable PVC liner to prevent leaks or punctures. This also helps to keep it sturdy and resistant against turbulent outdoor weather conditions, ensuring your pond stays looking its best throughout the year.

This natural design, when filled with water, also encourages animal friendliness, with Zest Outdoor Living’s website stating that the water can help encourage ‘butterflies, bees, birds, and other wildlife into your garden’. The planter has also been designed to be easily looked after, only requiring a simple wipe of a clean cloth to help ensure it stays clean and tidy.
However, if you want something a little different for your garden while still keeping a water feature, you could instead opt for the BTGG Outdoor Fountain, which is currently available on Amazon for £69.99. This solar-powered fountain can help keep the peaceful sound of running water in your garden and doesn’t require any batteries or plugging into a mains.
If you want to save even more, though, you could opt for the AMZtime Solar Fountain Novel Solar Water Fountain, which is currently discounted on Amazon from £9.99 to £8.49. This solar-powered device makes it so you can turn any surface into a bird fountain by ejecting water upwards from its spout.

Currently, there are only two reviews available for the Zest Outdoor Living Medium Aquatic Wooden Planter on Dunelm, with one shopper writing: “Brilliant little pond, easy to assemble, looks good when plants, fish and fountain are added.”
While another added: “Bought this planter to be used as a pond, it’s from a company called Zest. Absolutely nothing wrong with the quality of the product; however, it doesn’t come with a base. If you want a base, this will cost an extra £82.99. We needed this as the pond was for our patio, but I don’t think this information is made clear.”
On Feeffo, another customer noted: “Excellent little pond well made and easy to ensemble.”
However, shoppers should bear in mind that if they plan on keeping the planter for a long-period of time, the PVC liner may eventually degrade and willl require a replacement at some point, especially if its consistently submerged in water. Furthermore, its natural wood appearance might not be suitable for all garden types, depending on how you’ve already renovated it.
