Build the Pond Base in the Right Order
The underlay cushions the excavation; the liner holds the water. Remove sharp debris, smooth the pond shape, install underlayment across the full contact area, then position the liner with enough material for shelves, depth, settling, and secure edge overlap.
Measure after excavation and check the product's material, dimensions, installation instructions, and warranty terms. A careful base and generous edge allowance are easier to manage than a liner cut too close.

Pond Liner and Underlay FAQ
What is pond liner and underlay?
A pond liner forms the waterproof basin, while underlayment cushions the liner from rough soil, stones, and roots. They serve different jobs and are commonly installed together.
Do I need pond underlayment under a liner?
Underlayment is a sensible protective layer for most in-ground builds, especially over rocky or uneven soil. It cannot replace careful excavation or removal of sharp debris, but it helps reduce direct abrasion against the liner.
How do I calculate pond liner size?
Measure the pond's maximum length, width, and depth after excavation. A common planning method adds twice the maximum depth to both length and width, plus extra material for edge overlap; verify the final dimensions against your build plan before ordering.
Can I use pond liner for a koi pond?
Choose a liner whose product documentation states that it is suitable for pond use and the intended fish-keeping application. Also plan adequate depth, filtration, circulation, edge protection, and maintenance for the koi pond.
What is EPDM pond liner?
EPDM is a flexible synthetic-rubber membrane commonly used for custom-shaped ponds. Compare material, thickness, dimensions, warranty terms, and installation requirements on the individual product page rather than assuming all pond liners are equivalent.
How much liner overlap should I leave?
Leave enough material around the full perimeter to anchor and finish the edge after the pond is filled and the liner settles. The required allowance depends on the edge design, shelves, depth, and installation method.
Can pond liner be installed over concrete or old liner?
Some retrofit designs are possible, but the surface must be stable, clean, and free of sharp projections, and the new material must be compatible with the proposed installation. For uncertain repairs, consult the liner instructions or POPOSOAP support.
How do I protect a pond liner from rocks and roots?
Remove sharp debris, compact and smooth the excavation, use suitable pond underlayment, and avoid dragging the liner across rough ground. Protect exposed edges from foot traffic, tools, and direct sunlight where the design allows.
How do I find a leak in a pond liner?
Turn off automatic top-off equipment, mark the water level, and observe where the level stabilizes. Inspect plumbing and waterfall edges first, then examine the liner at that elevation. See the pond liner repair and replacement guide for planning help.
What should I compare before buying pond liner and underlay?
Compare material, thickness or fabric weight where stated, roll dimensions, pond measurements, edge allowance, installation surface, warranty terms, and any fish-pond suitability information shown on the product page.
