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 AND NATURALISTIC WORK OF ART THAT CHANGES PERSONALITY WITH THE TIME OF DAY, THE CHANGE OF THE SEASONS, AND THE MOODS OF MOTHER NATURE.
Until you’ve assembled them, they’re just a bunch of unrelated parts, without continuity, without function, and without aesthetic appeal.
If you fi nd yourself in the market for a water garden in your backyard, you can buy pond parts separately. If you shop around, you’ll fi nd that some merchants sell certain parts for less money than other merchants. So on the surface, it’s possible to save money if you shop around and buy your parts from a variety of different merchants. But that’s only at fi rst glance.
In other words, the fi rst glance is only that, a fi rst glance. And if you’re willing to take a second, third, or even a fourth glance, you’ll get an entirely different perspective on the right way to buy your pond.
THE PARTS MUST WORK TOGETHER It’s essential to recognize that all those parts must be built so they all fi t together and work together, in harmony as a unit and as a team. If they don’t, you’ve got problems that
After
can add up to headaches. When you buy all the pond parts from the same manufacturer in the form of a kit, not only are you assured that all the parts are built to work together, but if you have questions or need assistance in the future, you’ll have only one owner’s manual to refer to and one merchant to deal with.
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.
By buying from one merchant, you’re essentially making a volume purchase. The pond kit pricing will likely result in similar savings from the savings you gained by price-shopping all the parts separately. When you consider all the time you wasted by shopping
around, comparing prices of this part and that part, and coordinating it all, you’re probably losing money, right? If you can fi nd the right place to get all the right parts (in kit form), delivered at the right time, that’s what some folks call “one-stop shopping.” That’s what others call “effi cient.” What do you call it?
WHAT IF IT WERE 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, brakes, transmission, and body all from four separate dealers? If you did, would you then expect to be able to assemble it in your garage? Do you think it would actually work?
If you still insist on buying your water garden part by part, at least buy all the parts from the same manufacturer. Just like with cars, avoid buying one part from Ford, the other from GM, and the other from Honda or you’ll never make it out of the water gardening driveway.
If all this sounds completely absurd – totally nuts – then ask yourself, “Why not make this as simple as possible?” You probably won’t save any money by buying part by part, and you could certainly do without the added headaches! Instead, what you want is a beautiful and relaxing work of art sitting in your own backyard for you, your family, and your friends to enjoy together.
