Figure 1 (Dams)
👆Calculating your liner size for a dam
Dig the hole for your dam first. Then, like Figure 1, lay string or a tape measure down on the ground to get accurate measurements of the width and length. Be sure to measure the longest and widest sections of the excavation and include 0.5-1m of overhang on all sides. This overhang will be secured in place by a perimeter anchor trench.
👇 Calculating your liner size for a pond
To calculate the length and width of liner for a pond, follow the diagram below. It shows how to take overhang and the vertical runs into consideration.

Example
If you had a pond 1m deep, 4.7m long and 3.2m wide.
