Pond Kits VS. Pond Parts
A Pond Is Made Up Of Many Different Parts
And
when those parts are assembled together correctly, they form a
beautiful, organic, naturalistic work of art that changes personality
with the time of day, the change of the seasons, the moods of Mother
Nature. But until you've assembled them, they're just a bunch of
unrelated parts, without continuity, without function, and without
aesthetic appeal.
Now, if you find yourself in the market for a pond, a
water garden in your backyard, you should know that you can buy pond
parts separately. And if you shop around you'll find that certain
vendors sell certain parts for less money than other vendors. So, on the
surface, you can save money if you shop around and buy your parts from a
variety of different vendors. But that's only at first glance.
In other
words, I suggest that first glance is only that, a first glance. And if
you're willing to take a second, third, or even a fourth glance, I think
you'll get an entirely different perspective on the way to buy your
pond.
THEY
MUST WORK TOGETHER, OR...
For starters, it's essential to recognize that all those parts
must be built in such a way that they all fit together,
and work together, in harmony, as a unit, as a team. If they don't,
you've got problems that add up to headaches. And when you buy different
parts from different vendors, you have piecemeal you have hodgepodge,
you have problems and you have headaches... regardless of how much money
you think you saved over the short haul.
VOLUME
DISCOUNTS ANYONE?
Next, as far as the real cost savings is concerned, there's a
significant difference between buying anything one part at a time and
buying in bulk or volume, right? Ever hear of a volume discount? And
when you buy all the parts from the same manufacturer, you not only
assure yourself that all the parts are built to work together, in
harmony, you're also making a volume purchase and you can expect to
see a volume discount on your bottom line cost.
COMPARING
BOTTOM LINES TO BOTTOM LINES...
More specifically, if you add up ALL the prices from all the different
vendors you could buy your pond parts from, and compare that figure to
the bottom line figure of a KIT PRICE, (discounted for volume), you'll
see that you're saving money, not losing money, by buying all your parts
from the same manufacturer...I GUAAANTEE IT!
And then if
you throw in all the time you wasted by shopping around, comparing
prices of this part and that part, and coordinating all this (if you can
do it at all) you're losing even more money because TIME IS MONEY...
RIGHT? If you can find the right place to get all the right parts (in
kit form), delivered at the right time, that's what I call "One
Stop Shopping". That's what I call "efficient." What do
you call it?
YOU
WOULDN'T MAKE THIS MISTAKE BUYING A NEW CAR...
Think of it this way. Next time you go out to buy a new car, are you
going to buy:
- The
engine from one vendor
- The
brakes from another
- The
transmission from another
- The body
from another
- Etc.,
etc., etc.
And then
would you expect to be able to assemble it in your garage? And that it
would actually work? On the road? With you behind the wheel? And your
family in the car?
Now if that
sounds completely absurd, totally nuts, then I ask, why would you do
basically the same thing with your water garden? That makes no sense.
You don't save any money (no volume discounts). You don't need the added
headaches!
What you do
need is a beautiful, relaxing, natural, organic, holistic work of art
sitting in your own backyard so you, your family, and your friends can
enjoy it together. That being the case, we suggest that you follow the
"KISS" keep it simple stupid) formula for water garden
installation.
