I can't gauge how large that is.
But it looks nice.
I have a pond also.
You'll need some shade to regulate heat and something to stop birds from poaching the fish
I just zoomed in. I see the netting. Nevermind!

Is that a bog filter?

Yes it has a UV filter and a big filter and then just a little regular water fall with pea gravel in it, lots of filtration and also I live in West Virginia so I try to actual keep my pond warm instead of cooling it down.

That's much larger than mine.
It's about 1,600 gallons.
I use lava rock in the waterfall box.
That's a good sized pond.

Yeah it has 4 goldfish, around 16 koi,(they have babies but they sometimes get eaten or hide), 1 largemouth bass and 3 bluegill. What do you have in yours?

Koi. A few comets and a Ranchu.
I'll have to let some go soon. They are outgrowing the pond.

It looks really good, could you make it bigger?
No
In my case, the pond is under/inside my back patio. So diameter is limited. As far as depth goes. There is coral rock about 24" down. Then boulders.
I dug down as far as I could. Between 18" and 30"
