Put this together this week and was wondering how much pond liner I need and what the best quality pond liner is. Also I was wondering what I needed to put on the bottom of the pond. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

They are pressure treated 2x4's. They said it wasn't necessary to get pressure treated but it's always nice to have extra support.

Your going to want to put poly insulation on the walls and floor prior to liner install. I would use 40 mil. EPDM liner, 10x15' would be the smallest that would work and is probabaly pre-cut to that size at most pond stores.
I would second the raised pond. You could just use cinder blocks for a solid, cheap platform. The addition of a bottom drain will help water clarity and WC's.
