I am trying to determine how much liner Shareholders Pond will require. Here
are my numbers. I'd love it if someone could help me verify these. The way I
came up with these numbers...I agonized over this and still do. I measured
width, length and depth in multiple locations, the shelves, the shallows,
the bottom, etc. When I was all done, I tossed those numbers in the trash
and kept the max width, max length, and the max depth. I figure if I round
all of the numbers up to the max, I should have extra liner enough. I also
added an extra 18 inches to each number for overlap on to the ground.

Reservoir Pond
168 inches wide (14 feet)
132 inches long (11 feet)
40 inches deep

I then used the algorithm width + (2 * depth) + 18 extra inches...

168 + (2*40) + 18 = 266 inches (23 feet rounded up)
132 + (2*40) + 18 = 230 inches (20 feet rounded up)

So a 23x20 liner will do.

Veggie Filter
120 inches wide (12 feet)
60 inches long (5 feet)
16 inches deep

I then used the algorithm width + (2 * depth) + 18 extra inches...

152 + (2*16) + 18 = 170 inches (15 feet rounded up)
32 + (2*16) + 18 = 92 inches (10 feet rounded up)

So a 10x15 liner will do.

sounds good to me dont know if you tried this but when I had mey hole
I took a 100' tape and ran it from edge to edge draping it on the
"bottoms" an d used that measurement ( those hills and valleys add and
subtract a bit ) then addded a couple feet just to be safe
