Description
A pebble look for the pond you dig
Flexible 8m x 8m PVC at 450gsm with a printed pebble face: a thicker, tougher sheet than 200gsm PE that gives your pond the look of a stony bed.
450gsm PVC with a pebble print face
This liner is a flexible sheet of PVC printed with small pebbles on one face and black on the reverse, so the floor and sides of the pond take on the look of a stony bed. 450gsm means each square metre weighs 450 grams, more than twice our 200gsm PE liner, so the sheet is thicker and stands up better to tears and punctures. It is still far lighter than 1100gsm EPDM rubber: a 8m x 8m sheet weighs about 28.8kg.

What a 8m x 8m sheet builds
A pond about 5.6m x 5.6m and 90cm deep, with 30cm of liner spare at every edge to tuck under stones, slabs or turf. That suits a large, deep fish pond.
- Where the sheet goesThe liner runs down one side, across the bottom and up the other. Each way it covers the pond, twice its depth and the spare at both edges.
- Deeper means smallerEvery extra 10cm of depth takes 20cm off the pond's length and width. This is our largest pebble PVC sheet; for a bigger pond see our EPDM liners, up to 10m x 10m.
- Underlay for this sizeThe With underlay option includes three 3m x 10m sheets of 50gsm fabric underlay.
- One sheet per pondLine the pond with a single sheet. Two sheets need joining tape or adhesive to seal the seam, which we do not sell, so choose a size that covers your pond on its own.
What size pond liner do I need?
Enter your pond dimensions in metres to find the liner size you need.
Sheet length = pond length + 2 x depth + 2 x edge allowance. Width uses the same sum. Not to scale.
Made for a large, deep fish pond
From hole to pond
-
Dig and line with underlayShape the hole with shelves, then always lay underlay first to protect the liner from stones and roots.
-
Ease in the linerUnfold it pebble side up over the hole, leave plenty spare round the rim and let it settle into the shelves.
-
Fill, then finish the edgeWeight the loose edge and fill slowly. Once the liner has settled, trim it and cover the rim with stones or slabs.
Frequently asked questions
What's included?
With underlay: one 8m x 8m pebble print PVC pond liner and three 3m x 10m sheets of 50gsm fabric underlay. Liner only: the liner on its own, for when you already have underlay.
Do I need underlay?
Yes. A pond liner should always be laid on underlay, never straight on soil: it cushions the liner against stones and roots. Choose the With underlay option to get both together, or see our pond liner underlay if you already have a liner.
Is 8m x 8m the finished pond size?
No. The sheet also covers the pond's depth, shelves and edging, so the finished pond is smaller. 8m x 8m is the cut size, and the finished sheet can vary by up to 3%.
Is it safe for fish?
Yes. The liner is safe for fish and other pond life.
Will it stand up to sunlight?
Yes. The PVC is UV resistant and should last for many years in a garden pond. Like all plastics it ages slowly in sunlight, faster in full sun than in shade or under water, so cover the edge with stones, slabs or turf to protect it.
Can I join two liners for a bigger pond?
We recommend one sheet per pond. Two sheets need joining tape or adhesive to make a watertight seam, and we do not sell either. This is our largest pebble PVC sheet: for a bigger pond see our EPDM liners, up to 10m x 10m.
How is it delivered?
Folded and bagged. Unfold it next to the pond and let it relax before you ease it into the hole.
