pebble stone liner help

[tarmac]

Hi all. I have just installed a new preformed fibreglass kidney shaped pond and need some advice about covering the edge of the pond.
I am looking to fit the Pebble stone liner edging that you can buy on a roll but I'm concerned about how well the liner will fit around the tight corners of the pond edging.
Has anyone ever fitted a preformed pond liner and used the Pebble stone liner and if so how easy was it to fit and how did you make it fit the corners?
I haven't purchased it yet as it's quite expensive and I would like to know first whether it's the right

thing to buy?
I have uploaded a picure of the pond. Appreciate any advice? Thanks

Welcome Tarmac!
I've seen the pebble stone liner edging online. Seems it is only available in the U.K. so possible no one has used it in the U.S.

One question I would have if it will conform to the ponds curved edge. Nice looking product. Suggest you contact the manufacture or retailer for information. Is the product from Oase?

I have used rock on a roll which with some crumpling, cutting does curves just fine. Never heard of what you are talking about.

Welcome to our group!

An OASE UK product. Not available here.

Hello Guys... thanks for the welcome. Yes Big Lou it is the Oase product you have posted in your picture and I understand it is similar to rock-on-a-roll?
Addy1 could you tell me if you had any tight curves in your pond when you fitted the rock-on-a-roll and once fitted did it sit snug against inside of the pond (where it lays in the water)
Thanks.

Rock and a Roll is not real rock. It is one dimension photo on some sort of material. In my opinion, would not come close to pebble stone on liner. With that said, I also wonder how it will do on tight curves.

I used it on a curved pond, my stock tank, not what I could call tight curves. I "glued" it down with roofing patch material. In some places I glued it down with polyurethane.
I put it on at first to hide the blue edge of the tank when I was using it as a bog for plants, nothing to do with the pond.
Where I have used it, it is still attached after 4 years of being under water.

Rock on a roll is a textured type material, colored to look like tan type or gray type rock. The stuff is real rough, over time it tends to grow some algae, changes color a little, gets real rock looking.

You can see the rock on roll on that edge of the stock tank, it goes down around 6 inches or so under water.

This is the view under water, I did not glue down the lower edge, at the time I put it on it was into dirt.

I've got Rock on a roll on a pretty small preform -- here's a picture when we first installed it and there were no plants around to hide the edge:

You can see the creases and kinks, but over time, it gets weathered and not really noticable. Everyone that comes by asks if my pond is lined in concrete. This preform is about 6 feet long and between 2 and 3 feet wide (kidney-ish shaped).

Because of the tight curves, I cut the RoaR into 3 pieces and overlapped the edges -- the curves would have been too tight otherwise. There's a seam straight to the right of the fountain jet -- you can see a color change but not really a line from this angle.

Nice job Michey

Sorry for late reply. This looks great in the photos and I think this is what I need to buy.
Appreciate all the replies Guys.
