LINER


23.What else do you to prepare the hole for the liner?

Preparing for the liner is very important. Once the hole has been shaped, carefully check for any sharp rocks or roots that are cut off and sticking into the hole. If you have to take out big rocks, you can back fill with clean, damp soil or mortar. We drape Miri-Fi (available at most places that sell rock and mortar; used in French drains) on the shelf and step sides. A 1/4” of sand can be placed on the shelf to hold it in place. You can also use duct tape. The bottom can be covered with sand and spread smoothly to fill any voids and corners.


Some people use old carpet, carpet backing or other materials. I don’t because of storage space and the off chance there is a stray staple.
