The walls are 39 inches high, which is 15 inches higher than I’ve ever built before. If it holds together I’ll have in the neighborhood of 57 to 60 tons of water in it or approximately 13,500 to 14,500 gallons of water. One thing for sure, when I fill it up the pucker factor will be rising commensurate with the water level ‘till I find out if it holds together.
I know that feeling.

I felt the same way when I was filling up my wood pond and it is only 8' x 10'.
I don't think you'll have a problem.
Looks like you have alot of reinforcement built into it.
I live by a heron reserve and my pond has only been visited once that I know of.
