Formula

The Pond Liner Size Calculator uses the formula:

Liner length = Pond length + 2 × Pond depth + 2 × Edge overlap per side

Worked example

For example, with pond length of 3 m, pond width of 2 m, pond depth of 0.5 m and edge overlap per side of 0.3 m, the liner length is 4.60.

Inputs used
Pond length 3 m
Pond width 2 m
Pond depth 0.5 m
Edge overlap per side 0.3 m
Results
Liner length 4.60
Liner width 3.60

Frequently asked questions

Add twice the depth and twice the edge overlap to each pond dimension. A 3×2 m pond, 0.5 m deep with 0.3 m overlap needs a 4.6×3.6 m liner.

The liner must drop down one side and up the other, so the full depth is added at both edges.

About 0.3 m per side anchors the liner under rocks or soil and prevents slippage.

Stepped planting shelves use a little more material, so round up or add extra overlap for complex shapes.
