Informative and to-the-point way to go buddy I'm doing a koi pond in a commercial area I'm going to clean the hog mother out put that putty on in the holes of the cracks the stuff you can get expands into the cracks and put the seal on Phillip backup run to water overnight and then put the rocks the Crawdad back in there and there's a couple fish left hopefully it'll all work I don't suspect that there is anything major we have that a lot of rain it's only leaking into the planter on one end of the pond it's about three by 40 feet long have a good one buddy

Thanks for the video, I had damage from rodents myself. Would you consider concreting between the liner and the soil to deter pests further?

[@Iowawaterscapes]

We wouldn't suggest concrete, as having a hard surface like that on one side of the liner, and rocks on the inside can cause friction leading to more potential holes in the liner. We have used concrete cloth in the past. It is a malleable material,, but hardens over time giving a protective layer. I will link an example of us using it to this comment. Hope that helps ua-cam.com/video/FIAV1FgoObE/v-deo.htmlsi=BZ48_0032LbPts-x&t=298
