how did you get the corners cut so that the liner does not bunch up at the corners?

[richandshirl]

@stantonporsche fold at an angle ,just keep folding till you get it right ,and cut once

Nice pond, bit too shallow for koi, looks about 4 feet? and carpet is a bad thing as it rots.

But apart from that well done.

@lynda46 well its been there 3yrs ,all levels perfect i.e ammonia ,nitrite etc never lost a fish ,and alls awsome,as for the carpet ,if you watch i also used the proper underlay that came with liner.

@lynda46 Depends on the ground! I had carpeted underlay for ten years on sandy ground and was still perfect when I took apart to enlarge! Nice pond mate

@richandshirl I just thought... if you never lost a fish its good! Then you had luck! Althought i had dug more deep I find it is a very nice pond! with very nice fish in it!

[richandshirl]

@KoiFan100 never lost a fish yet after 4 yrs ...... so that about says it all

My grandad built one like this years ago but never used a liner the concrete was waterproof enough and he kept his golfish and koi very well in there for years never tested the water for lime/amonia etc but all i know is the fish and plants thrived in there a few years later he made me a smaller version about 7 feet long 2 feet deep again just bricks and cement no liner....
