It\u2019s similar to trying to follow the shape of the pond basin using shorter and longer rectangles (see image above).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The width of the liner strips is always 5.3 meters (the liner size can be increased in steps of this width). So, one dimension of the liner depends on how many strips are welded together. For example, if 7 liner strips are needed, the final liner width will be 7 \u00d7 5.3 m = 37.1 m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The length of the liner strips varies depending on the shape of the pond basin, and they can also be offset relative to each other to accurately follow the contours of the pond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step in custom geotextile design is an on-site survey, where you need to determine the exact lengths of liner strips required based on the shape of your pond, and how they will fit together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You must record the data collected during the measurements and enter it into the custom liner design app, which will generate the final blueprint for your order based on your measurements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">To ensure accurate results, you

It is also a bit harder to find the correct position for the liner during installation, and the exact size is harder to estimate not only on one side, but on both sides of the spine.

Do it as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Take out your paper and pen and make a sketch to make the process easier.

First, it has to line a three-dimensional shape with depth. Second, the liner is made from a single piece, so different parts of the basin interact with each other \u2014 a section that requires more material can reduce the available liner size from multiple directions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to the survey, the liner sheet will not settle into the pond basin in a perfectly predictable way, so it\u2019s better to plan with safety margins to avoid unpleasant surprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lotusgarden.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/felsziget-rahagyas-01-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7659\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:60%\">\n<p><strong>If there is a peninsula or similar protrusion in the basin<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, the basin will require some extra material from the direction of the spine line, because the liner must curve up onto the peninsula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s recommended to position the spine line so that the tape curves onto the peninsula while still remaining straight. This way, it covers a longer path, meaning the tape will show a higher value along the spine line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, folds will form at the base of the peninsula when placing the liner sheet, so extra material must be provided from above, from the edge of the basin. For a peninsula, add 40\u201370 cm of extra length to each rib that runs through the peninsula or the protruding section of the basin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, add 40\u201370 cm to one rib before and one rib after the affected area (neighboring ribs).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:60%\">\n<p><strong>If the rib\u2019s measuring tape line ends at a curved shoreline<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, the less of a right angle the measuring tape forms with the shoreline, the more liner material will be needed for securing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, there is some measurement inaccuracy in the direction of the rib: on such curved sections, the tape can show very different values depending on whether the person reading it shifts slightly to the right or left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of this, for curved shorelines, depending on the curvature and the securing method, add 0.5 to 1.2 meters of extra length to the affected ribs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help estimate the amount of extra material needed, always include the securing allowance in the rib length during measurement.
