When I was walking back there it looked funny. We got so much rain I guess
the rain washed under the liner and has lifted the thing way up. Its near
about to the top with water all underneath it.

I worry about this in the new pond I am installing. I am contemplating
laying a small piece of PVC in the bottom of the hole under the liner, and
let it run under the liner up and out the edge of the pond, so if water gets
under the liner, it would have an escape route.

Any thoughts from the group?

BV,

Did water stay in the hole all winter? If not, then you have adequate
subsurface drainage to control the floating liner. If you did, then I think
I would add the pipe as a just in case. Won't cost much. One or two
lengths of pipe and an elbow.

First, let me say I am a jack-arse...I didn't remember I posted this
question already, and in a follow up to another thread, I posted it this
morning, again. Sorry group.

The water has not stayed in the hole all winter, but after a rain fall, it
will stay for a few days. And by few I mean more then 1, but less then x, as
I have not measured. :)

I figured for the cost of the pipe, it would be a nice insurance policy, and
I don't see how it could be a detriment.

Fed Up!

Opps.
Dig a trench leading away from the pond then
dig a hole. Fill all with large stone - this
will give the water a place to drain.
