The most important part of your pond is what you put your water in. Firestone Pond Liner is the way to go for durability and peace of mind. The last thing you want is a pond with a hole in it.
I've had this pond liner material for years and can tell you that it's well worth the investment. Made of 45 mill EPDM rubber, this Firestone Pond liner will give you a lot of years of worry free use.
The first couple years that my wife and I had our pond we just used regular plastic sheets and even doubled it. Once we found out that we developed a hole and half of our pond drained out we knew we had to find something else.
We found that this Firestone Pond Liner was the way to go. I would say at the time of this writing that we have had it as our pond liner for about 12 years now without one single problem.
I can't stress enough, if you're going to have a pond, make sure you have a good strong pond liner in it. It will save you from a lot of frustration.
Length: Length of the dug out area plus two feet plus
the depth plus three feet.
Width: Width of the dug out area plus two feet plus the
depth plus three feet.
For Example: The hole is ten feet long by six feet wide and the
depth is three feet. Therefore, the liner LENGTH is 10 + 2 +3 +3
= 18 feet. And the WIDTH is 6 + 2 +3 + 3 = 14 feet. So the
needed liner size is 18 feet long and 14 feet wide.
Make sure you have some help when you're positioning the pond liner over the hole. Push the liner evenly into the hole and try to have the same amount of overlap all the way around the perimeter of the hole.
