We are waiting for our pond to be excavated (two months later than we
hoped), and have been looking at various types of liner. In our water
gardens book it mentions using a material called Bentomat, which
sounds much nicer than butyl. Has anyone any experience of this? Is
it easy to use? And is it wildly more expensive than butyl?

Although I've Googled, Asked Jeeves, and Alta Vistad g I cannot find
a supplier or a price. Can anyone recommend a supplier?

Thanks all for any pointers.


It's a clay sandwich.
Whilst you don't mention the type of pond you want I would say stick to
Butyl, it's easy to deal with, lasts 50 years + (used for canals!), and is
not easy to puncture and if you do it can be mended just like an inner tube
on a bike. It's also black which is an ideal colour for a liner in a pond.

and they can even weld it to shape so no creases. (If it's a squareish pond)
