It looks like you have quite a bit of excess liner under the skimmer, so I don't see why you couldn't raise it up. Put blocks under it to hold it in new place. Don't streatch the liner much...it will give some but streatching it will also weaken it.

Now....can I give you some advise? Get those rocks out of the pond. They are absolutly the worse thing you can do for your fish. Rocks trap all the fish poo and uneaten food where it rots and turns into the nastiest sludge you ever saw. that sludge can provide breeding grounds for harmful bacteria and parasites. I don't care what the watergardening books say.....rocks are VERY harmful for any fish. They look nice in a watergarden, but they have no place in a fish pond. Your pond is very pretty, but also very small. Removing the rocks will give your fish more room too. Don't put any koi in there....it's way too small for them. Stick with goldies.
