Pond Liner Installation
Work out the general shape and depth that you would like your pond to be and purchase the appropriate size liner. ----------------------------------------------------
When digging out your pond remember to make some shelves for the marginal plants to rest on and they should be about 6" deep and 6" wide. Also make sure that its level either way by using a plank across and checking with a spirit level. Search round the freshly dug pond and remove any sharp objects like stones. Then put a 2-3" layer of sand down to cushion the liner. Save all those old newspapers or use carpet underlay and line the shelves with them also for cushioning. ----------------------------------------------------
Place the liner over the whole area of the pond and push it down into the edges and shape you have dug, then rest bricks around the overlay of the liner on the soil / grass to hold it. Then start to fill up your new pond with a hose pipe and do not cut off any overhang until the pond is fully filled up as although you pushed the liner into the edges of the pond beforehand the water will always find the places you missed and this will use up liner and if you have cut it down before its full of water you might find that the liner is now to short. When you finally come to cut down the overhang be sure to leave a good amount (8 ") which can be hidden by edging stones. Do not use flag stones unless you treat them to remove the lime (with a product we sell called 'poolglaze') otherwise you will have problems with your pH rising to a high level endangering the fishes lives. York stone, slate or natural rocks are best as they will not affect the pH. ---------------------------------------------------- Wasn't that easy, now its time to stock up with oxygenating plants, Marginal plants and fish. Its now time to relax and enjoy all your hard work.
