POND LINERS
The PVC Pond liners we sell are available in 2 different materials with 20 year and Lifetime guarantees. They are both UV stabilized, puncture resistant, environmentally friendly and are flexible and easy to contour.
The Rubber Butyl liner has a Lifetime guarantee and it is well known as the best material for lining ponds, due to its thickness, flexibility and its long (lifetime) guarantee.
To work out what size liner you will need simply take the largest measurements of the hole you have dug for your pond and to each dimension add double the deepest depth. So if your pond measures at the longest lengths 10 ft x 8 ft and the deepest part of your pond is 2 ft then you simply add 4 ft to each measurement, making the size of liner required to be 14 ft x 12 ft.
Pond making tips
-
Choose a site which is level.
-
Avoid overhanging trees - rotten leaves may fall into the pond causing harmful toxins. Also tree roots may damage your liner in the future years.
-
When designing your pond use simple curves not complicated shapes. They are wasteful of the liner, reduce water circulation and create dead spots of stagnant water.
-
Do not make your pond to small, a minimum recommendation for a pond would be 6 ft (L) x 4 ft (W) and it should be at least 18 inches deep. If you are thinking of stocking your pond with Koi Carp then the depth would be much better being at least 2 ft - 3 ft.
-
Use the soil removed whist digging out your pond to create a waterfall.
-
Consider viewing your pond it would be nice and relaxing to view your fish whilst you relax on your lawn or patio.

Pond Liner Installation
Work out the general shape and depth that you would like your pond to be and purchase the appropriate size liner.
----------------------------------------------------
When digging out your pond remember to make some shelves for the marginal plants to rest on and they should be about 6" deep and 6" wide. Also make sure that its level either way by using a plank across and checking with a spirit level. Search round the freshly dug pond and remove any sharp objects like stones. Then put a 2-3" layer of sand down to cushion the liner. Save all those old newspapers or use carpet underlay and line the shelves with them also for cushioning.
----------------------------------------------------
Place the liner over the whole area of the pond and push it down into the edges and shape you have dug, then rest bricks around the overlay of the liner on the soil / grass to hold it. Then start to fill up your new pond with a hose pipe and do not cut off any overhang until the pond is fully filled up as although you pushed the liner into the edges of the pond beforehand the water will always find the places you missed and this will use up liner and if you have cut it down before its full of water you might find that the liner is now to short. When you finally come to cut down the overhang be sure to leave a good amount (8 ") which can be hidden by edging stones. Do not use flag stones unless you treat them to remove the lime (with a product we sell called 'poolglaze') otherwise you will have problems with your pH rising to a high level endangering the fishes lives. York stone, slate or natural rocks are best as they will not affect the pH.
----------------------------------------------------
