I go a free pool liner from a friend and decided to go from my 200 gallon pond to a 800+ gallon pond. The edges (blue and white) aren't ideal but I can live with it. The dimensions are 15' at the longest by 10' at the widest. The deepest part is only 17". I wanted more length and width than depth. It should be ok since I had a 14" deep pond before and the goldfish survived the cold winters and hot summers in it.
I do wish I would have stretched/evened out the liner out better in a couple spots, but it' too late now :irked:

How cold does it get in your area? It surprises me your goldfish can survive frigid cold weather with a depth of 14 inches. I would have overwinter them just to be safe.
 
Thanks south coast nelly :)

Lupin: It gets below freezing in the winter....even in the teens sometimes. I have had these goldfish for 3 winter seasons and they have been fine.
 
Looks good.
 
thanks pharaoh :)

My objective now is to move the dirt from around the pond, fun stuff!
I picked up some more rocks over the weekend...it takes quite a bit more rocks to go around the edges of this pond compared to my 4 x6 pond!
