Product Information

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is one of the least expensive materials used to craft pond liners, and it has both advantages and disadvantages. It offers better puncture resistance than EPDM and is slightly more lightweight, making it easier to work with. Like EPDM, multiple sheets can be attached using liner tape. Flexible pond liners enable you to create garden ponds of non-standard shapes or sizes. Let your imagination run wild designing your aquatic garden habitat for fish and flowers. I chose the flexible pond liners in this review for their variety of materials and that most come in a wide variety of sizes. Yes, the liners do come in square or rectangular sheets, but they’re easily cut and folded to match whatever your pond design needs. Concrete flooring can be used to achieve virtually any design – but the more complex the design, the more experience you’ll need working with concrete.

On the downside, EPDM liners can be prone to punctures, so they must be paired with an underlay. The material is also quite heavy, making it slightly harder to work with than other flexible liner materials. PVC As this liner is quite thin, it is quite supple and malleable and this makes installation quite easy. I have to point out that there isn’t really any flex though, so bear that in mind before you buy. It shouldn’t really pose a problem as long as you buy enough to keep a bit of play in the liner after it’s installed, but if you leave it pulled a bit tight, don’t be surprised if it tears within a month or so.

Benefits of Blue Pond Liners Over Black Pond Liners

Now personally, I think the best way to build a pond, especially a more natural-looking pond, is by using a flexible fabric pond liner that comes in large rolls or sheets. They are an excellent way to build a pond as they are very forgiving. This means you don’t need to have exact dimensions and angles. You can literally dig a pond with as many shapes, shelves and angles as you want, and it will still be relatively easy to install the liner. This means you can be as creative as you want. Choosing a fabric pond liner and the different types Preformed liners are the simplest solution for lining your pond. Preformed liners are typically made of a hardened plastic or rubber material, so the shape of the liner is the shape of your pond. EPDM and HDPE liners offer a slight amount of stretch that can be extremely helpful when trying to fit the liner around a corner. In addition, these materials can be sold in large sheets so that you may not need to weld multiple sheets together for your pond design. Made from low-density polyethylene, coated with a UV- and rot-resistant laminate, it’s much thinner than standard PVC liners and moulds better around ponds of any shape. RPE is also made from the same plastic as HDPE. But it’s stronger and more puncture resistant than either HDPE or LLDPE. It’s also the thinnest and lightest material you can buy for liners. RDPE is used to line waterways such as canals and dams. Pros

Butyl (synthetic) rubber has been one of the most widely used pond liner materials in the UK for decades. Like its synthetic rubber sibling EPDM, butyl is highly flexible and easy to mold to the tight spaces in a custom pond. Butyl liners are also very durable, as they are resilient to UV radiation, ozone, and weathering. This perhaps lends credence to the many manufacturers who claim their butyl rubber products have lifespans of up to 50 years, presumably covered (if that seems dubious to you, consider that warranties beyond 20 years are rare). Butyl geomembranes are also similar to EPDM liners in that they are nontoxic to fish and function well in both very high and low temperatures.The Greenseal and Firestone EPDM liners as well as the HDPE pond liner are versatile solutions for nearly any pond, although you’ll need to use an underlay if you opt for either of the EPDM liners. A pond liner is an essential part of any pond. While ground will eventually stop leaking water and become relatively watertight, it takes time and isn’t exactly predictable! Pros of PVC – PVC is very plentiful and very cheap. It’s also flexible in some forms, making it ideal for a pond liner. It is also resistant to chemicals, easy to install and can be easy to handle.

Besides the products and projects, the environment is also considered, to protect our good quality environment, do not use any toxic material products. While concrete does not look “natural,” concrete flooring has its own aesthetic appeal since it produces a smooth pond bottom.

HDPE Industrial Liner Applications

Polyethylene fibers are robust yet lightweight, which makes them an ideal material for bulletproof vests. That same resistance to punctures and tears makes woven (reinforced) polyethylene products like BTL's AquaArmor and ArmorPro lines very reliable. Whilst some thinner pond liners can be prone to tearing (especially if used without underlay), this PVC liner is a lot less likely to rip or puncture. It’s durable enough to stop plants from piercing their way through, and can be used for ponds up to 50 cm deep. If you’re interested in a preformed liner, it’s worth noting that fiberglass liners can expand slightly to accommodate the increase in volume that occurs if the water in your pond freezes. Being very rubber-like, EPDM can be a great choice for more complicated pond designs with lots of curves and corners as it can be folded as needed. Not only that, but just by using liner tape you can attach pieces to each other, something I found very useful when I decided to increase the size of a garden pond a number of years ago. You can heat bond EPDM sheets, but please be aware that it could damage the quality of the material when you do so if you don’t research how to do it properly. They can save you a lot of time and effort, and are very durable, but you won’t have the option to modify your pond later. Which brings us to our next topic Modification
