Well I seen a couple of DIY shows where they roll the end of the liner into a 2 x 4 and secured the 2x4 to the side of the frame of the pond and use plants around it to cover it. Hope it helps. I was planning on doing a pond but kinda put the idea on hold due to planning on put a pet store. Yay. I just visit one that is owned by a family and they asked me about $350 grand for it but there's a lot of work to do on it to put it up to date.
FWIW, I just finished (well, nearly finished) building a deck-box pond using PT 4x6s. To secure the liner to the walls I used a piece of Trex decking that I ripped in half (so it was 3" wide) on the top of the each vertical wall and drilled through it (and the liner) into the pond wall. This holds the liner up nicely, which still goes over the top of the wall. This weekend I'll put another Trex board over the top edge to finish the top and cover the rest of the liner.
Don't want to threadjack - I'll start my own thread for the construction. But here is a picture of the cleat.
An added benefit is that the cleat forms a little ledge that I can put a frame for my netting to keep the leaves out.
