About Us
About Koi Hut and the Team
Koi Hut opened in 2016 and has since become well respected in the local fish keeping community. We boast a wealth of knowledge in keeping Koi and collectively have at least ninety years of experience in fish keeping to draw on.
A dedicated Koi Health Specialist is available on request and, for a nominal charge, will visit your pond to offer advice and provide the most up to date treatments for your fish and their habitat.
We have a well stocked dry goods shop and two fish rooms housing twenty seven holding tanks. In addition to this, we also have quarantine facilities housed separately from those of the main shop. You can follow the Koi Hut through our Facebook page.
We also offer a bespoke pond building service, tailored to your own specifications. Our in-house pond build expert, Steve, will be happy to give you a quote. See our Pond Builds page for more information.
The Koi Hut is located at the bottom end of New Lane, Havant, and is situated alongside the Railway Gates leading into Havant Town. The town centre is a 10 minute walk away and is 5 minutes from Havant town Station. Our main entrance is to the left of aforementioned Railway Gates.
