Installation Tips
-
Size calculation: Liner size = pond length (or width) + (2 × maximum depth) + 0.6m, giving a 30cm overlap at each edge. Use our pond liner size guide if unsure.
-
Prepare the ground: Remove all sharp stones, roots, and debris. Use sand or a protective underlay (recommended) to prevent punctures.
-
Lay the liner: Drape loosely into the pond on a warm day (HDPE becomes more pliable in warmth). Work from the centre outward, pleating the liner into corners.
-
Fill gradually: Fill with water slowly, easing the liner into position as the weight settles it.
-
Trim and secure: Leave at least 300mm overlap around the edge. Trim excess and secure with edging stones or coping.

How Much Liner Do I Need?
Measure the longest length, the widest width and the deepest point of the pond, then for each direction:
Liner length = pond length + (2 x maximum depth) + 0.6m
Liner width = pond width + (2 x maximum depth) + 0.6m
The extra 0.6m gives a 30cm overlap on every edge for anchoring. Round up to the next available size; sizes work either way round.
Example: a 3m x 2m pond, 0.6m deep, needs at least 4.8m x 3.8m, so choose the 4m x 5m size.
