When selecting and installing a pond liner, one of the most common mistakes is choosing the wrong liner size or thickness. Many people underestimate the required dimensions, leading to stretched liners, weak edges, or incomplete coverage, which can cause leaks over time. Failing to use a pond liner estimator or not allowing extra material for anchoring and settling often results in costly replacements. Selecting a liner that is too thin for the pond depth or soil conditions is another frequent error that reduces durability.
Installation-related mistakes are equally important to avoid. Poor site preparation, such as leaving sharp stones, roots, or debris in the pond base, can puncture the liner. Skipping a protective underlay significantly increases the risk of damage and shortens the liner’s lifespan. Additionally, filling the pond too quickly can cause uneven stress on the liner, leading to wrinkles or tears. By carefully planning, choosing the correct material and thickness, and following proper installation practices, these common mistakes can be avoided to ensure long-term, leak-free pond performance.
