One reason I love my liner, 10 yrs ago called ppl36. Now hdpe

I have had deer driving their hooves into it. One got trapped under the net. getting ready to try and save. But it got out.

Something with claws leaving claw tracks on a ledge.

Deer walk the stream in the winter.

No leaks.

Bend tarp and liner, in Oregon.

You don't have to start from scratch. If you found the area that was destroyed you can install a patch any size need if it is epdm
Thanks for your recommendation. Unfortunately, there were hundreds and thousands tiny grooves on the bottom and wall. I believe that the turtle was in the pond for a quite long. It was drown when I noticed it was in the pond. It was sad. I can share the photos to show these groove but I don't know how to post photos here.

Around 10 years ago, there was a dear jumped over the fence and got into the pond. I called police for help. They said that was your own problem. :-(
