Installing a pond liner in a natural swimming pond involves a few key steps to ensure a secure and long-lasting fit. You’ll need to dig the pond to the desired shape and depth, making sure to smooth out any sharp rocks or roots that could puncture the liner. Once the pond is shaped, lay down a protective underlayment, like geotextile fabric, to prevent damage from the ground below.
Carefully roll out the pond liner over the excavated area, ensuring it covers all edges and contours. The liner should extend a bit beyond the pond’s edges to be secured in place. After placing the liner, start filling the pond with water, smoothing out any wrinkles as it fills up. Once the pond is filled, trim any excess liner and secure the edges with rocks or other materials to hold it in place.
