Installation of Pond Liner

If you are planning to build a pond then what kind of pond it would be? The pond can be plastic lined, concrete or rubber lined. Pond liners are better for water gardens because these allow for very cheap installations. Ponds require some pre-planning though. To construct a pond, we should purchase a pond liner and the size of liner must be appropriate to our pond size. Make sure you pond liners is large enough to fit the area you have marked out, with some left over for over hang. The total width of the pond liner should be the pond width plus twice the maximum depth plus and extra 300 to 500 mm. The same with the length. This ensures you have not only enough to cover the pond, but enough for over hang so you can edge and trim later on.

After we designed the pond on paper, we need to buy all necessary materials to build it. Pond liners suppliers like Fabric Solutions Australia can sell you a pond liner in a range of materials depending on  your requirements. Make sure when you ring about your pond liner that you ensure the liner is UV protected as well as fish friendly. Some liners contain chemicals that make them unsuitable for use in fish ponds, eg tank liners used for drinking water.

To start it by marking the outline of the pond with a rope. After we finish digging the pond, make sure the ground is smooth and try and remove any sharp objects like rocks etc. You can help protect the pond liner from rocky soil we used geo-textile liner as well. Care must be taken to make certain that the liner is not damaged or punctured during installation. You can also use sand layer to protect the liner from any type of damage.

The liner should be carefully laid-out into the hole. It is important to minimize the folding and pleating of the liner, because they have the potential to trap leaves and scruff. Once installed properly, liner can last for many years, lifespans of 20 yrs plus is not unheard off for materials like EPDM pond liners or even HDPE pond liners.

After the pond liner is installed, it is must that we should cover all the corners of the liner as much as possible with rocks and other things. It will not just only protect the liner, but made the pond more beautiful. Applying the edging materials around the liner will also help to weigh it down, plus the extra benefit of giving our pond a more natural look.

Now, the installation part of the pond liner (which is the most difficult part) has been completed. Remaining part is to install the pump and decoration of the pond, plus any fish and plant you want.
