LINER
Before installing your pond liner, make sure it is in good condition with no tears or holes. If you find any
damage, do not attempt to install the liner. Contact customer service for a replacement.

LINER
Calculate the dimensions of your pond. Your pond should be at least 18 in. deep at the deepest point.
Allow for a 10 in. overlap around the perimeter of the pond. The 7 ft. x 10 ft. liner will create a pond that is
approximately 3 ft. x 6 ft. x 18 in. deep. It will hold approximately 200 gal. of water.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

2. Dig out your pond and remove any debris or rocks that might
damage your liner. Add approximately 2 in. of sand to the
pond area. The sand functions as a cushion beneath your
pond liner. Spread the sand over the entire area and
compact it. Fig. 2

3. Open the liner and drape it across the pond area, making
sure to leave at least 10 in. of overlap around the perimeter of
the hole. Begin to fill the pond with water, smoothing out any
wrinkles as you do this. Fig. 3
