Lining a Stream with Pond Liner

If you cannot read the words on the image then look above and below the picture and you will see the same description. If you are browsing on a small screen I'm afraid you may have to scroll right a bit.

Estimate the stream liner length as length on the horizontal + 2 x head. Width is governed by liner strips. 5ft wide liner produces 2ft to 2ft 6ins header ponds, with 9 to 12 outlets. 10ft liner 4ft to 6ft header with up to 2ft outlets.

TIP: If you want to cut down on the use of cement bedding stone sown into a thick bed of pea-gravel is possible. It also makes for easy repair work in the future.

Top of wall level with outlet block work allowing enough room to be capped with slab or slate.

1) Lay underlay over the block work.

2) Lay the liner in place with a large overlap right into the pond.

3) Carefully push and fold the liner into place gathering as many creases as possible together and making sure the liner fits into the contours of the block work..

4) Thoughtfully trim of some of the excess liner.

5) Line the stream with stonework..

TIPS: a) Start from the bottom of the stream and work up.

b) Concentrate on the face of each waterfall and work outwards into the rockery or wall retaining the earth.

c) Always think in terms of retaining the water in the stream within the liner, you are just facing the liner.

d) Tuck stream liner up between side facing stones to prevent water travelling sideways.

TIP: Stone laid straight onto the liner can be cushioned with off-cuts or underlay.
