14x16 would leave zero slack
Zero slack?
Extra around the edges....
So I'll be needing to get alittle larger?

you can check ebay or dr foster and smith because most charge you a lot for shipping .I ordered from dr foster and smith on presidents day and got free shipping .They charged 7.99 for shipping .I would go with epdm 45 mil .
Yes I would try to go at least 16x18

As long as you watch when your digging and keep measuring the hole to make sure you are staying with in the size .We ponders have a slight tendency to keep digging .I would dig the hole first and then measure and order .Mine took 5 days to get here which was good considering that was a bad snow storm up where they were shipping it from .I know we got it also and for VA that late in the season it was a lot .Had to love it box said 111 lbs and UPS driver said it weighed out at over 130 lbs .I had my hand truck handy the day it came .We slid it from the truck to the hand truck .Just a tad bit off .

Calvin. If you order bigger than you need and fold the excess material into flaps at the edge there are too advantages. One if you get floating liner syndrome you can extend the liner out more so water from precipitation goes over the liner instead of underneath. My recommendation is the liner needs to go out at least 18-24 inches under a berm to prevent water from going underneath.Two, If you think your pond needs to be a wee bit larger at some point just unfold the flaps of extra liner and dig underneath that edge and whala! you have a bigger pond! My pond grew significantly because of this trick.
