If the folds are an issue call the sales people at permalon.
reefindustries.com They can preform your folds for a perfect fit.

I have both epdm aned permalon. mine are formal ponds with square
corners which needs big folds and permalon makes very flat folds. big
folds are death traps for fish as they move up the fold and then find
themselves wedged into the fold at the top. permalon is stiff enough
that I can pull a bit of the top fold out so the fold is open. OTOH,
a more natural random shaped pond without corners and epdm is great
for this. permalon is very stiff and doesnt make good little folds.

I didn't buy liners from them, but I have an EPDM and a Permalon liner
pond and if I build another pond it will be a Permalon liner.

I vote for thicker material and deal with the folds. I used the 40 mil
material in my 800 gal. kidney-shaped pond, and as long as you are
folding as you fill the pond, you get a pretty good fit. Better to have
stones, or plants that cover the edge, and after a while, the algae will
dull the gloss of the liner.
