  • How deep should I make my pond?
    The correct depth for your pond all depends on what you plan to put in it! If you are creating a 'fishless' wildlife pond with only pond plants - we'd recommend a pond height of 0.25cm to 0.35cm. If you are building a pond for fish, it is very important to carefully research what depth is required for your species. We cannot advise on the exact size but would recommend a minimum pond height of between 0.45cm to 0.65cm. Please note: Koi carp require much deeper pond depths in order tFew readers

  • Does it matter which side of the pond liner is used when installed?
    You will find that our PVC pond liner has two sides: a dull/matt side and a shiny side. Both sides perform as expected - it does not matter what side faces up or down when being installed. This choice is up to you!Few readers
  • How do I install a pond liner?
    Our PVC pond liner is 4 x 4 metres (16m²) - one-size only. It must be cut to size using a sharp craft knife and installed before adding your finishing capping layer. It's simple to install - follow our Pond Liner Fitting InstructionsFew readers
  • What should I put under my pond liner to protect it from damage?
    To protect your pond liner from any damage, use old carpet, underlay or bubble wrap before installing the liner inside your WoodBlocX pond. Search the internet for 'Pond Liner Underlay' to find your best local option. Pond liner underlay is a crucial protective geotextile layer, typically made of polypropylene or polyester, designed to protect pond liners from punctures caused by sharp stones and roots. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/9/9/e/8/99e85b04a8366000/pond-builFew readers
