How to build a pond using pond liner

Mark out the shape of the pond.
Dig the sides at a slight slope and check the top is level.
Remove all abrasive objects, lay a bed of sand and install a protective underlay, ready for the liner.
Anchor the liner with smooth rocks across the top and bottom. SLOWLY fill the pond with water and adjust the anchors as the pond fills. Tuck creases to keep the liner tidy.
Allow the liner to mould to the natural shape of the hole before trimming any excesses or installing decorative surrounds.
Ensure the liner is NOT pulled tight or stretched at any time.
Lay edging stones (or other) to complete the appearance.
