See our Free Pond Building Seminar Schedule on the back cover or visit our website www.springdalewatergardens.com To choose the correct pond liner size, make sure your measurements are accurate. When possible, dig the hole first and then measure for the liner. Measure each contour of the hole, including bottom, both sides, stone shelves and planting zones. You’ll want extra material for extending the liner beyond the hole. We recommend a foot of extra liner for both sides to allow for wrinkles, folds and irregularities. If you buy the liner before digging, excavate carefully to make the hole fit the liner. Measure the liner as follows: Maximum length in feet + Maximum Depth in feet + Maximum Depth in feet + 2 feet extra = Minimum Length Maximum width in feet + Maximum Depth in feet + Maximum Depth in feet + 2 feet extra = Minimum Width Allowing for extra liner avoids shortages from miscalculations, last-minute changes in shape and size, or other unforeseen circumstances.
