Center > Installing a Pond Liner
- Outline the shape of your
pond with a shovel, adding an extra 1" in all dimensions. Be
sure to slope the side of your pond to add stability; after all soil
is removed check carefully that the top edges of the pond are
level - they must be level before you begin to install the pond
liner!
- Line the bottom of the hole
with underlay. This protects the liner
from damage.
- You can now begin putting
the liner in place, first by draping it loosely over the excavated
area. You may wish to gently pat the liner to conform to the shape
of your excavated area. Place a few stones or bricks around the top
perimeter of the liner to loosely hold it into place.
- Slowly begin filling the
pond' the weight of the water will gradually allow the pond liner to
assume the shape of your excavated hole. As you fill, the pond liner
will likely shift and you will need to make adjustments in the stone
weights to assure that the liner fits snugly to the contour of the
sides and bottom. Continue to fill to the desired level.
Now, your personal creativity can take over! You may edge the pond
using decorative flagstone, plants, brick, or a medium of your
choice. To hide the edge of your pond liner, overlap whichever
edging you choose to form a narrow "lip" over the pond.
If, in the process of completing your project, the water becomes
muddy, drain the pond and replace with clean water. Never allow
dirty water to remain in your pond, as this will lead to odors and
may be toxic to fish and plant life within your pond.
