Its covering the cement patch, Patch

yes i used the carpet from my bedroom as a base for the liner on the bottom, mind you i only have floorboards in there now but weve had to build the sides up a bit and also make a better foundation on the edges of the lengths because the sdies were not very stable so have cemeneted them to build and strengthen them but im covering all the cement with a nother off cut of carpet then putting a brand new liner in that is butyl Applaud SmileyB-)B-)B-)

At least the "Gnome" rating of the supply cables shouldn't be too HIGH!!! :coat

but to be honest...

I was more impressed with the meticulous attention to detail using a spirit level to position & level the gravel next to the pond!?
