Have a few little other projects(rebuild bridge, making a waterfall box that fits, figuring out rock structure of the mound) but mainly came with a liner question (end).
Has been a busy fall, but this is where I'm leaving off. Measured all the depths and shelves and etc for ordering a future liner. This is the pond naked of all liners for once. Have a bit more carving of some shelves to redefine and pump hole, but otherwise is what it is. Thought final inlet/drop coming into the ground level pond on the right from about the 3oclock or 2oclock angles, the 2oclock angle giving me a wider platform considering space to make the water pool/drop in.
If you have suggestions, I'll still take them, but it's weighted against "just being done" next springs/summer asap - so little changes more apt to be done.
(again rocks on bottom of the mound are just currently support, not meant to be long term - can/will change that to whatever is needed really if you have suggestions on aesthetics.)

With all the measurements believe I need a 20x30 liner, of which I will cut off 5ft of the 20 ft. The main section will overage fit the main pond, and the extra strip will run up the river, to the ground level pound, then back up the mound. The strip will be seamed where pond/river meet, and at an angle w/ the ground level pound on the mound.
My MAIN question being - holy heck - yes pond liner is heavy, but has it always been really expensive to ship or just the current markets?
Went to Just Liners to get a 45 mil EPDM 20x30, and shipping was $187 as the only option. Yikes.
Another site kept giving errors and couldnt check the cost, and another was sold out.
