Now THAT'S a POND! How lovely! and I really dig the mermaids. It would be
a
lot of work on a pond that size, but you could go around the edge of the
pond, dig a little trench, lay the liner down inside it, then put the
dirt/sod back over (essentially "naturalizing" the edge). God only knows
it's too big to put rocks around the edge G!

Thanks on their behalf...... yes, my dad and I have done a little of the
trench digging and we did some of the rock around the edge too....just not
enough of either and we had all we wanted when we got done with what we had
done.

The liner appears to be EPDM. I know there are ways of piecing it, but
I've
never done it. One of the more ingenious ways I heard of to "moosh" the
two
pieces together, after having put the bonding stuff on, was to lay it out
in
the driveway and run a car wheel back and forth over the seam.
Alternatively, perhaps the company that installed your folk's pond could
seam it for him? It sounds like they probably galvanized the pieces
together
. . .

Great pond!

The mirror tells me lies
Could I mistake myself for someone
Who lives behind my eyes
Will he escape my soul
Or will he live in me
Is he tryin' to get out or tryin' to enter me
