Pond Size? Any Guesses?

HI all, below are pictures of a pond liner I was given for free. I plan on installing in my back yard later this year, or spring of next year. I was wondering if anyone had any guesses of how many gallons it is. Not looking for specifics, just some "educated" guesses. I have it beside an old dryer for comparison.

Thanks in advance!

If you measure it as if it were a rectangle, get length, width, and height, you can get a rough idea from the aquarium calculators on this site. I'd do the deep section, then the shallower section and add the volume.

Thanks for the advice. From what I can tell, its around 50-60 gallons. Thanks!

Yeah, it's pretty small. You could do some fun stuff though. Mollies, swordtails, fancy goldfish if you have the time to cater to them durring the colder months.

Yeah, I only planned on doing a couple of goldfish, or a school of smaller fish. And I plan on either having a heater for the winter, or bringing them in!

If you got a filter you could probably do 2 or 3 common goldfish, if not, a few plants like lilies or something and smaller fish. I just got a pond, and I'm super excited for it! 150 gallons of pure AWESOME *.*

Yeah, I'm excited too. I wanted bigger, but than this opportunity came up for free. And I feel for a first pond its good enough. I won't be at this house forever, but when I do find that house that I'll live in forever, I told my fiance there will be a huge pond!

Free is awesome! I got my pond and filter on Craigslist for $75, the next best thing LOL I keep trying to tell my parents that we just need to replace the house with a hue pond, and we can live in a boat on top of it

I would breed cardinals in that pond since you are taking them indoors during the winter.
