Das Asumaya

The Asumaya runs alongside the koi pond it is constructed of timber with a background of thatch panels which I made, the roof is made of timber which is covered with roofing felt which is then covered with thatch and finished off with bamboo, it also has two hanging electric lanterns that light up at night, there is also a round window at the end.

Der Filter

After keeping koi for well over thirty years and having a really good filter which  I had designed that kept my water crystal clear 365 days a year, but the advice in those early years was to make your filter as large as possible (the volume of the pond is 5,500 imp gallons) so mine was over six foot long by two foot wide and three foot deep and as stated it worked brilliantly the only problem being it needed regular cleaning to keep the water flow at its maximum and it must have been doing a good job because I still have several koi over twenty five years old , but I decided that I had to do something about having to clean the filter so often, So I designed the filter  that I have been using now for the last eight or nine years. it needs cleaning no more than  three or four times a year and I call it GEORGE'S  MAGIC BOX it never slows the water flow and it is literally maintenance free, and  now the size has been reduced  down to only 42"x18"x30" deep.

Das Teehaus

The teahouse is made out of packing cases ,I made it in sections in my garage one winter then in the spring I brought it out into the garden, and fortunately it all fit together, there are 113 windows with the timber being routed out to slot the glass in (what a job that was). It is stood on a concrete base, and the roof is made of timber covered with roofing felt then covered with thatch and then finished off with bamboo. It also has electricity fitted it,

Der Zen Garten

The Zen Garden is a KARESANSUI (dry stone) garden which is inspired by Zen Buddhism

It consists of weathered limestone rocks and raked limestone chippings, there are nine ton of chippings, and all together in both the Zen garden and the Japanese garden and koi pond their is approximately six ton of weathered limestone rocks.
