With bolts and nuts.

I've used heat welding with 4 mil polyethylene sheets. Every year after, I
bought the right size liner and didn't have to mess with it.

Asphalt roof sealer (a couple different types work) will hold PE to PE good
enough to make ice rink liner patches and repairs possible. It doesn't
really glue things together, it's more like bonded with bubble gum.
Acoustical sealant, which seems to only be sold in Canada, works well too
(so they tell me).

This is experience from ice rink building, where we have 4 things going
against us regarding liner patches: Ice, freezing cold water, being under
water, and polyethylene liners.
