2) Bang in level pegs down a little more than the depth of the proposed pond surround slabs.

4) Pour concrete on the land side and temporarily backfill with soil on the pond side.

5) Complete the pond excavation, leaving a marginal shelf and remove the shuttering.

6) The liner can be folded into place as with the other methods. Paving and rockery stones can be cemented into place on the liner flap.
