Sizing a Pond Liner

The best and most accurate way to size a pond liner is to measure a pond that has already been dug. Use a flexible tape measure to measure the pond along the sides and bottom at the widest and longest points, taking in account excess for anchoring.

This is not always practical because you may want to dig and install the pond liner on the same day.

To size the pond liner for a pond that has yet to be dug, you will have to determine the measurements for the longest and widest points in the pond along with the depth of the pond at its deepest point. Then follow these simple steps:

1. Length of liner = pond length + (depth x 2) + (overlap x 2)

2. Width of liner = pond width + (depth x 2) + (overlap x 2)

Depending upon how you plan to anchor the pond, overlap should be a minimum of one foot. Two feet is recommended for most backyard ponds. For very large ponds, you may need to add up to 5' for anchoring.

Be sure to order enough liner. It is always better to have a few feet too much liner than to be 6 inches too short!
