Building a koi pond in short time is not difficult as you think it. You can use pond liners to design and create a modern koi pond as you want. You can create unusually shaped pond or you need a pond that fits a particular home style or design then you can best achieve this by using flexible pond liner. With the preformed pond liner your pond will look like it was professional installed.



Building Koi Pond using Pond Liner only take a little planning to design, create, and install your pond. You can call up your friends or family, purchase all the material, and you can easily have your pond up and running in short time.

For beauty koi pond with pond liner, you can add various depths, ledges, and make it as deep or shallow as you want. That’s one of the advantages of using pond liners is you won’t have a pond that looks like everyone’s. You can also install a waterfall, stream, or other types of water features.

All you need to know now is where to site the pond and how to measure the liner. Liner normally is cut from standard roll widths so try to design your pond around these widths. It is possible of course to join liner but it can be a tricky job and it does need to be done under clean conditions.

The best type of pond liner material is either EPDM (poplar in the USA) or Butyl Rubber liner (popular in the UK). Other popular materials for lower cost installations are PVC and Polyethylene... in my country South Africa LLDPE (liner low density polyethylene) is preferred in view of high UV intensity.

After you install your koi pond with a pond  liner you do need to check it for leaks and repair it. If you treat the pond liner with care you won’t have any leak repairs to do for several years. Normally pond liners last quite a few years but fish, weather, and time do tend to wear the liner, so you will have to maintain the liner to increase the life of your pond.
