| I''ve just had to replace my liner (after 10 years) so I went ahead and enlarged the whole thing too. Now I have a lot of additional water surface and am thinking about placing some rock stacks here and there for the frogs, birds, etc., to sit/stand on to sun and drink. However, i am concerned that the weight of the stacked rocks might damage the liner. Anyone's thoughts would be helpful. Thanks |

| Which type of liner are you using? |
|
| Dick, if the rocks are placed on a scrap piece of liner to protect the actual pond liner you should be okay. A piece of flat field-stone put down first onto the scrap pad of liner and the rock(s) placed onto that will help spread the weight about a bit. I have rocks of various sizes and weights, sitting on the shelves of my ponds and there has been no problem with them piercing the liner. "Horton" |

| i have lots of river rocks around my pond on the shelfs . i have not had a problem yet with them piericing the liner and i walk on them. but i made sure that they all were flat with no sharp edges to cut into the liner. Horton's idea sounds great using the old liner as a pad. good luck with your new pond. laura |
