Ponds · Liner and water

Size pond liner and estimate water volume.

Use maximum excavation dimensions for the liner envelope, then estimate irregular water capacity separately from average depth and an editable shape factor.

← Maximum pond length →↕ Maximum pond widthPlan envelope
← Edge overlap →↕ Maximum pond depth↕ Average water depthLiner follows excavation

1 Measure the excavation envelope

2 Set estimating assumptions

Transparent calculation

Liner cut and water volume use different depths.

Liner length and width each add twice the maximum depth and twice the overlap. Water volume uses plan area × average depth × shape factor.
