In a pond that small, you should not need shelves!

Put the plant pots on bricks or something similar to raise them up?

hi many thanks for your replys wouldnt bricks tear the liner and contaminate the water thanks

I have used a few bricks they have not bothered the pond. You may want to make a stand of pvc.
If you can find flat rocks they work great.

Put some excess liner below the rocks/bricks/stand to protect the pond liner.

I have used bread trays, milk carts, flower pots anything strong enough to hold the item I am putting on it.

Plastic shelves, milk crates, anything like that is fine. If you're concerned about your liner getting damaged, you can lay down a piece of scrap liner, rubber tub mat or something like that first.
