Step-by-Step Installation Guide

1. Dig your pond — Excavate to desired shape. LDPE is best suited to shallower ponds (up to 0.6m). Remove all stones, glass, and sharp roots
2. Smooth the ground — A sand layer of 25–50mm significantly improves LDPE performance by eliminating sharp protrusions
3. Lay geotextile underlay — Essential with LDPE. The underlay protects against punctures more likely with thinner material
4. Position the LDPE liner — Very easy to handle — lightweight and manageable for one person. Unfold over the pond and drape into shape naturally
5. Secure and fill — Fold edges under edging stones or bury in turf. Fill slowly, adjusting folds as the pond fills

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the maximum pond depth suitable for LDPE liner?
A: We recommend LDPE for ponds up to 0.6m deep. For deeper ponds, upgrade to EPDM 0.75mm or 1.0mm for better durability and puncture resistance.

Q: Is LDPE the same material as plastic sheeting?
A: LDPE is a polyethylene material, but our pond liner grade is specifically formulated with UV stabilisers, fish-safe additives, and quality controls that standard plastic sheeting does not have. Never use generic plastic sheeting as a pond liner.

Q: Can I use LDPE for a pond with goldfish?
A: Yes. LDPE is certified fish-safe and suitable for goldfish, shubunkins, and most common pond fish species. For koi, we recommend upgrading to 1.0mm EPDM.

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 5m x 4m size.
