Pond Liner Question?

[rickjames]

Does anyone know how much liner I would need for a pond measuring 7 ft x 5 ft x 3 or 4 feet? Depending on depth (3 or 4) it would be close to 800 or 1000 gallons. Wanna do some Koi or other coldwater fish.

Would this work for what I have in mind?

Can any math wiz's calculate the sq ft. of my pond vs the liner? would the formula just LxWxH for the pond and LxW for the liner?

2x the depth added to the length and width and add an extra foot or so for an overlay. so you're looking at about 16'x 14' or 17'x15'. excavate your hole first and then measure.

45 mil epdm would be better than the HD stuff

Thanks. I'm a pond noob
Any clue on good places/good prices on the 45m
