Description
Plan a 4m × 5m liner around your pond
This bundle combines a flexible 200gsm PE pond liner with 50gsm fabric underlay. The rectangular sheet gives a nominal 20m² of flat material, with the longer side available for the longer route through the excavation. It follows a prepared shape rather than a rigid preformed outline.
Check where every part of the sheet will go
A pond uses liner beyond its water-surface dimensions. The base, depth, side walls, shelves and perimeter finish must all fit within the available sheet.
Measure the longest and widest routes along the actual excavation contours, then add the allowance for your edge finish. Compare those measurements with the 5m and 4m sides, allowing for the ±5% cut-size tolerance. Checking area alone is not enough: a nominal 20m² sheet still has fixed dimensions in both directions.
Prepare the ground and the protective layer
Place the fabric underlay beneath the PE liner. Plan its layout around the same contours before settling the sheet into its final position.
Clear the pond excavation
Remove sharp stones, roots and debris from the base, sides and shelves. Smooth the supporting surfaces before fitting the fabric.
Check the fabric layout
Plan coverage and any overlaps. The included fabric is lightweight, so assess whether the actual ground conditions need additional protection.
Leave the liner unstretched
Ease the sheet into the contours without pulling it tight across gaps. Keep enough at the perimeter and check its position before filling.
What is supplied?
One nominal 4m × 5m 200gsm polyethylene pond liner with 50gsm fabric underlay. The UV-resistant liner has a black face and grey reverse. Plants, stones, edging and other installation accessories are not included.
The liner and fabric have separate GSM ratings, each describing that material's weight per square metre. They are not thickness measurements or a combined liner rating. This sheet is polyethylene rather than EPDM rubber.
Before ordering the 4m × 5m bundle
Is a 20m² pond opening enough information to choose this liner?
No. You need the full measurements along the longest and widest excavation contours, with the material needed for depth, shelves and the edge finish. Compare both routes with the sheet dimensions and allow for the ±5% cut-size tolerance.
Which side should run along the pond?
Position the 5m side along the route that needs the extra length, then check that the 4m side also reaches through its complete contour with sufficient material for the edges.
Does the bundle include fabric beneath the liner?
Yes. It includes 50gsm fabric underlay. Plan its coverage and overlaps for the excavation, remove sharp objects first, and assess any additional protection needed for the actual ground.
