To get the maximum enjoyment from your backyard paradise investment, we suggest having your fish pond or water garden installed as close to the areas that you spend most of your outdoor time. We also suggest that you take into consideration the views from inside the house as well. Being able to see your pond lit up at night from windows, and listening to waterfalls and streams, with open windows will fill your house with the sound of moving water.

In our opinion this is the worst possible location to try and get the most enjoyment out of your investment. Long story short... Move it closer to your house or patio.
