Product Usage Instructions

Pond Liners

Items needed:

Rope or Garden Hose
Shovel
Beckett’s Pond Liner
Carpenter’s Level
Straight 2 x 4 piece of Lumber

Step 1: Carefully select the site for your pond in a level area away from trees and not in a low area of your lawn. The area should receive 4 to 6 hours of sunlight each day.

Step 2: Outline the shape and size of your pond with a rope or garden hose. To determine the size of your pond, you must consider the dimensions of your liner minus the depth of the pond plus a 6-inch border. Fish and plants require a depth of 16 to 30 inches depending on your winter climate and the type of water lilies being used. Once you have decided on the depth for your pond, use the following equations to determine the maximum length and width:

Maximum Pond length = liner length minus 2 times pond depth minus 2 times 6 border
Maximum Pond width = liner width minus 2 times pond depth minus 2 times 6 border

Step 3: Begin digging always remembering to stay inside of your outline. Allow for plant ledges if desired. Level the edge of your pond by using a carpenter’s level on straight 2 x 4 placed across your pond. This will show if one side needs to be adjusted. Repeat this process for the width and length of your pond until the perimeter is completely level.

Step 4: Remove all roots and sharp objects that may puncture the liner. Line the bottom and sides of the excavation with Beckett’s Pond Underlayment to provide a cushioned surface for the liner. Drape your liner loosely into the excavation with an even overlap on all sides. Secure the liner with bricks or stones on the corner. Fill the pond with water. As the pond fills, continually smooth and fold the liner to minimize wrinkles, but do not stretch the liner for it may tear.

As the pond fills, continually smooth and fold the liner to minimize wrinkles, but do not stretch the liner for it may tear.
STEP 5: When the pond is full of water, landscape with rocks or bricks to cover the liner. If desired, the excess liner may be trimmed to exceed the 6” border, BUT NO MORE THAN 10 INCHES BEYOND THE BORDER! Landscaping with stones, bricks and dirt may cover the ends of the liner. Save the trimming to place under your rocks for extra protection.

HELPFUL HINTS

Most aquatic plants need a lot of sunlight to stay healthy so choose a site for your pond that will receive at least 4 – 6 hours of sunlight each day.
Choose a high-leveled sight that will not collect rainwater and will allow water drainage.
Check to ensure there are no buried utilities before you start to dig.
When digging, leave a marginal plant shelf about 10 inches wide and 10 inches below the top edge of your pond so you will have a place for plants.
Make the top edge of your pond as level as possible on all sides so that you do not have a high spot which always appears in need of water.
The excess dirt from the excavation may be piled at one end of the pond and used in the construction of a waterfall and the leveling of your pond.
Your liner may be patched or seamed using Beckett’s waterproof pond tape.
