Pond Liner Installation
Click here for tips on pond liner installation.

1. After selecting the pond location in the yard, outline the desired shape with a garden hose. Before excavating, decide on the depth of the pond.  Remember, the pond must be 24" deep to house goldfish and 36" deep to house koi fish. After excavating, smooth the bottom of the pond with the shovel and clear any foreign material. If embedded rock is discovered, spread sand (2" to 3" deep) with the shovel evenly on the entire bottom of the pond. Place the Geo-Pad Underlay in the bottom of the pond.

2. Take the pond liner out of the box and place it unfolded on the ground. Unfold the liner on the ground next to the pond and allow the sun to help smooth its folds and creases (15 to 30 minutes).  Drape the liner loosely in the pond.  Place several large stones around the top of the liner to secure it.  After secured, smooth by hand any remaining creases or folds.  Partially fill the pond with water (1/2 full).


3. Move the stones to the inner perimeter of the pond. Trim the outer perimeter of the liner with scissors or a utility knife to conceal the overlap.  Continue filling the pond with water and steadily smooth any creases or folds by hand.  Add desired chemicals such as dechlorinator or Microbe-Lift.

4. Finish placing stones around the perimeter of the pond. Remember to reserve space between the stones for the cables to connect to  the pump. Approximately 48 hours after completion of the pond, add plants and 72 hours after completion, add fish.
