Buying Pond Liners

When designing your outdoor pond you should give figure out how large you are going to want it to be and what your general shape will be. Once you know how large you want it you can figure out how large your pond liner should be in order to fit correctly.

To get this size calculated correctly you will need to know the pond depth (typically 1 1/2 feet deep, but it could be deeper). Double this number and add an additional 2 feet for overlapping purposes. Next you will add this number to the maximum width and length of your pond.

Do not make the mistake of ordering a pond liner that is too short. You should always err on the side of caution and order one slightly larger if you are unsure since you can always trim overages off, but you cannot add any extra to a too short liner. Be sure your measurements include enough material to go under your border and account for any ledges you have designed into your pond.

Here is an excellent calculator for figuring out your pond liner dimensions:

Pond Depth _____ x 2 = _____

Pond Width + Pond Depth = _____ (Width)

Pond Length + Pond Depth = _____ (Length)

Pond Liner Size = Width x Length
