Here is what he was going to whisper...................... drop the pvc liner, get epdm or hdrpe liner. He got side tracked..................

PVC liner is cheap but it will not last well.

I put my pond in with a ton of roots around. Never caused a issue, I used hdrpe type liner.

The under lay sand etc will help protect the liner.
