I like bend tarp and liner for my liner. Very tough and not real expensive

Check Webbs Water Gardens. I looked all over theweb for the best liner price and they beat everybody else for price & shipping.
Welcome! Can't wait to see the finished project I got my pond liner off of ebay through graystone -creations..type in firestone pond liner and they should be the top seller of that liner. Happy Ponding.

I got my first one from a roofing company and used it for several yrs til I made a bigger pond and bought a larger liner from an irrigation company near here. It's in the pond right now and no problems. They were both the same Firestone liner you find anywhere and the price was reasonable and it was local so no shipping........just pick it up and take it home

Great pictures, Nilz, and wow, is that an amazing design! I'm very inspired to do more than originally planned for my first pond this spring/summer. Thanks for sharing.:fechten2:

LOL, Sissy, I don't have anything written down or drawn out yet, so does it count as "changing" then? It's all in my head, and was VERY simply dog leg pond, now I have visions of waterfalls out of stones, pathways, streams, etc. It may take me all summer to figure out exactly what I will want and how large to go. Love this forum! Soooo much information to be had, but Note to self: Do not open Garden Pond Forum website in the morning!" I've been little late to work yesterday and today. Need to save my Pond time for evenings instead.

Take pictures of your land where you think your pond will be. Load on to your puter and start painting in your pond. Even with doing that my pond changed as I built it. Close to drawings, but not the same.
One of the reasons you don't buy your liner until you have your hole dug!
and get to work, need the paycheck to support the pond!
