Measuring an Irregular Shaped Pond
1. Make a sketch of the perimeter of the pond as accurately as possible.
2. Select a straight line down the bottom through the center of the length of the pond. Measure from liner termination point at the top of the slope down through the pond to the liner termination point on the opposite side.
3. Measure dimensions along this centerline on 25' centers (or closer to be more accurate), or where the pond perimeter makes significant changes in shape (ie: Dimensions w, x, y, & z.). Place a stake or flag at these points.
4. Measure down through the pond from the liner termination point perpendicular to the centerline (ie: Dimensions A1 & A2, B1 & B2, etc). Record dimension from liner termination point at top of slope to the centerline.
