"CONTAIN" YOUR WATER GARDEN
By now, you should have the location of your water garden
determined. You are ready to begin creating your water
garden basin.
CREATE THE SHAPE
Within your Sunterra Water Garden Kit is a pre-shaped pond
liner to be used in creating your pond basin. In addition to
being pre-shaped, the pond liner acts as the digging template
for your pond. Lay the liner out in the (popped-out) shape in
the pond perimeter as closely to the rigid portion of the liner
as possible. Use this mark when digging your pond.
Tips:

02. Make sure to not dig outside your mark or there will not
be enough room for pond edging to hold the liner in place.

your shelf depth accordingly.
Tips:

preserves liner placement and reduces erosion of your basin walls.
02. Sunterra recommends digging a small ledge along the perimeter of
your water garden that is wide and deep enough for the type of
this ledge - to put rocks, etc. on it to hold it in place.
