Pond Boss Forums Thread Like Summary - Pond liner issue

Just finished putting liner in quarter acre pond obout 8 deep I wanted a pond bad enough that I didn't follow all the rules have influx of water under the liner what I can't do because of location and money put a French drain in, can not dig a hole with a sump can not put in a vent etc. The liner is 30 mill rpe my most likely option at this time is a hydrostatic vent in the liner that would let the bottom water into the pond. I know that it's not really recommended but was wandering what brand might work and how you put one in on an already installed liner. The po d presently has about 10 inches of water tks for any ideas

The simple solution is weight on the liner inside the basin. If the pond is full, and there is some distributed weight like stones, gravel, etc. that will help a lot.

Larger lined ponds usually have the liner covered with at least a few inches of materials to protect them from punctures, exposure to the sun, and what you are experiencing as the pond fills. This means there is a limit to slope on the sides of the pond so the materials stay put.
