Pond liners are the true foundation of your pond, and they are ultimately responsible for keeping everything in it functioning properly. Knowing that, it can be intimidating to try to choose the right kind of liner and determine which size you need.
The last thing you want to do is leave part of your pond bottom exposed or have excess liner bunching up around the sides. However, trying to calculate the measurements you need can oftentimes be more complicated than helpful. Thankfully, you don’t have to worry about any of these problems when you use our helpful and efficient pond liner calculator.
Determine your pond’s volume in gallons by entering its average length, width and depth. Then figure out which size liner will best fit your pond by entering its maximum length, width and depth. Hit the calculate button and your pond volume and liner size will be instantly displayed on the screen.
If you are unsure how to measure your pond, our pond liner calculator outlines the process step by step, clearly identifying how to properly measure for each element needed.
Keep in mind that your pond liner should have enough surface area to follow the contours of the pond bed and leave about a one foot margin around the pond edge. Ideally, you want to install permanent pond liners that are durable enough to withstand a variety of weather and water conditions. This will save you the hassle of having to regularly replace this integral part of your pond.
If you’re wondering which kind of pond liner to purchase, we strongly recommend you consider either PVC or EPDM pond liners. Both are durable and strong, lightweight and easy to maneuver, safe for fish and long-lasting.
