So I finally removed the old pre-fab rigid liners, dug out the hole to approx 450-500 gallons and bought the liner and some rocks, everything is ready to go.  I really wanted to rent or borrow an inline water meter that could be attached to a garden hose so I'd know how much water it holds.  That never happened and I doubt I'll come up with one on Mamorial Day.  Are there any tricks for estimating the volume?  Maybe I could time how long it takes to fill a 20 gallon tank and then time the pond fill?  Any better ideas?  TIA,  -  D

The usual method is L(ft)xW(ft)xavg. Depth(ft)x 7.5 will give you a rough estimate of your pond volume.
