New Pond Project

I would welcome any advice. I am building a pond for the first time, i
is a large pond approx 60 feet by 30 feet and about 6 feet deep in th
middle. It has been excavated and now I aim to put a layer of "Teram
geotextile (bit like weedblock fabric) followed by about 1 inch of san
and then I aim to put down "silage sheet", this is the plastic farmer
use to line silage and slurry pits and comes in very large sizes. It i
much cheaper than official pond liners. Then I intend to cover th
sheet with another layer of geotextile and then sand with patches o
gravel for cosmetic effect. It will be trickle filled via a small pum
from a stream which comes off the mountains. Questions: anyone els
used silage sheet? I'm pretty certain the sheet is UV stable but woul
welcome comments and any advice
