Length = (Maximum Depth x 2) + Maximum Length + 2 ft.
Width= (Maximum Depth x 2) + Maximum Width + 2 ft.
Example: An 8′ x 10′ x 2.5′ would require a 15′ x 17′ Liner
We custom cut pond liners in widths ranging from 5 feet to 30 feet in 5-foot increments.
Example: A 12′ long and 10′ wide pond with a depth of 2 feet would be 1795.2 Gallons
ROUND POND CALCULATION (IN GALLONS) Radius Squared x 3.14 x Average Depth x 7.48
Example: 10′ round pond by 4′ deep would be 2480 gallons
First, determine the surface area of the pond (Length x Width) or Area of the circle for the round pond (3.14 x radius squared).
To then determine how many fish: 1 inch of fish per square foot of the surface area is safe; 2 inches per square foot would require testing water weekly for nitrites, ammonia, and pH; 3 inches or more per square foot requires testing and bio-filtration.
PUMP SIZE
Total gallons of pond divided by 3 = Minimum pump size for filtration only. Otherwise, pump volume should be determined by the feature to be created.

Watts per hour divided by 1000 = Kilowatts per hour
Kilowatts x 0.10 = Kilowatt dollars per hour (KWDH)
KWDH x 24 = Kilowatt dollars per day (KWDD)
KWDD x 30 = Kilowatt dollars per month
KWDD x 365 = Kilowatt dollars per year
Total weight of water = Total gallons of water x 8.5
Total tons of stone for edging pond = Total surface of pond (length x width) divided by 65
