Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Clear the area where the pond will be located. Remove any sharp objects like rocks, roots, or debris.
  2. Underlayment: Lay down the protective underlay (sold separately) across the entire pond area. This crucial step prevents punctures.
  3. Liner Placement: Carefully unfold and position the Swell Pond Liner over the underlay. Ensure it covers the entire pond area, including the edges.
  4. Securing the Liner: Allow for overlap around the edges of the pond. You can secure the liner by burying the edges, using coping stones, or another suitable method.
  5. Filling the Pond: Slowly fill the pond with water. As the pond fills, the liner will settle into the shape of your excavation.
  6. Compatibility: This liner is compatible with various pond designs, including those for koi, wildlife, and general garden ponds.
  7. Care: Regularly inspect the liner for any signs of damage. Avoid using sharp tools near the liner. Clean any debris from the pond to prevent potential punctures. The underlay will greatly help prolong the lifespan of the pond liner.
